If you answer no you are normal.

If you answer yes you are defective.



Even to this one

Have others accused you of being arrogant?


Isn't no the right answer?



I choose yes... I figure a little arrogance is a good thing


The honest answer to most of the questions is yes.

Except maybe that one about stealing things out of peoples' houses.

It's a dumb test. It rewards dishonesty and emotional vacancy.

Paranoid: Moderate
Schizoid: High
Schizotypal: High
Antisocial: High

Borderline: Low
Histrionic: Low
Narcissistic: High
Avoidant: Low
Dependent: Low
Obsessive-Compulsive: Low

Strange results indeed. I have absolutely NONE of the symptoms mentioned for Paranoia, Schizoid or Schizotypal behaviour. Antisocial and narcissistic: yes, quite. ;) But then again those two are missing major parts of my personality. In short: this test is a load of bollocks.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('marko', 'D')o you really want to post your "psychiatric disorder" results on the web? Are you not at all concerned that someone might use them against you? Incidentally (and very honestly), I scored low on "paranoid". However, I shall not be divulging the rest and I urge others not to.
An old post, I know, but it gets an answer anyway. I'm generous like that.



Who is to say that certain behaviour is good or bad? It all depends on the situation. Me being antisocial and narcissistic could mean I'd be the perfect manager in case a department needs to drastically cut back -- because I'll sell everyone out for a buck, if the income and garnered recognition are high enough. Just because something is bad in average situations doesn't mean it is always bad. Being overly aggressive is bad if you are a postal worker, great for UFC fighters. It all depends on where you stand.

Looks like I'm sane, but a bit clingy. ROFLMAO

Actually, I just like people. I enjoy my family, and so, naturally I'm afraid of not having them around. I see it as a positive.

My Myers Briggs is ENFP, too. I see nothing wrong with being gregarious. I suppose that is in the eye of the beholder, though.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'D')o you prefer to be alone rather than in the company of others?


Well, I am guessing that this question leads to some kind increase in one or more of the disorders. I bet many folks on this board answered this question "yes"; however, nobody who posts here frequetly should answer "yes" to this question since we spend time in the company of others on the interent when we could just read whatever and never start/comment a thread on disorder tests.

Is it possible to judge yourself truthfully? I don't think so escpecially if you have a disorder!

I honestly couldn't answer yes to any of the questions. The only one I got anywhere near a yes was

Do you find yourself exaggerating your achievements to win the respect of others?

I decided to put no because I don't tend to exaggerate achievements, but failures just to make a story more entertaining?

All the questions seemed to be basically saying - Have you a problem Yes/No!

I guess it could have been worst. I would describe myself as eccentric or ecclectic. The other voices are reassuring me these quizes are inaccurate, vauge, and lack emperical data for a strong correlation.

Low on everything. I'm your stick-in-the-mud, stay at home, love your wife (since 1965), conservative, traditional ho-hum guy. Sane to the Nth degree. (Just because you're paranoid doesn't mean they ain't out to getcha.)

Then, I took their dating test. (Not likely at age 62 and married for so long.) It says: Practical, intellectual, big hearted, ambitious, conservative, outgoing, sensual, romantic. It said I like women who are shy, practical, intellectual, traditional, romantic, and funny. Fits my wife to a "T". Always told her I got the pick of the litter. She says we both did.
