Lyric discussion by Flux 

Cover art for The Test That Stumped Them All lyrics by Dream Theater

This is definitely one of the more difficult degrees of inner turbulence to place. It seems to me the song is describing schizophrenia (please don't confuse schizophrenia with dissociative identity disorder, or "multiple personalities"). My clues are lines like 'suffering from delusions' and 'he lives in a world of fiction.' Anyone else have any ideas?

This song helped me face the fact that I indeed am schizo....the world revolves around me answering some godly question that's only bestowed to me. I have feelings of grandeur and entitlement. Just before I wrote this response I woke up in a cold sweat looking up at men in white coats.....I only wish there was a way for me to rid myself of this ego that tries daily to tell me I am better, smarter, faster....when indeed i am far below good....

Not Valid

After extensive research I found out that you are right. if you would've done some more digging you would've had every lyric analyzed. you helped me with my analysis above, thank you and good job.
