Hi,
I took the personality disorder test at 'similar minds' - this is the same place I took the type-tests. I scored very high on a couple of areas and slightly higher than average in a lot. I am not particularly worried as I don't have all that much respect for the area of psychology that tries to define 'disorders' or 'abnormalities', though I would be interested to hear from anyone who also scored high on any of the areas or have any comments on my results - Here is what I got,
Paranoid |||||||||||||||| 72% 49%
Schizoid |||||||||||||||||||| 89% 53%
Schizotypal |||||||||||||||| 66% 53%
Antisocial |||||||||| 34% 47%
Borderline |||||||||||||||| 78% 47%
Histrionic |||||||||||||||| 58% 43%
Narcissistic |||||||||| 45% 41%
Avoidant |||||||||||||| 65% 39%
Dependent |||||||||||||||| 58% 37%
Obsessive-Compulsive |||||||||||| 46% 40%
*scores in gray are the average web score (the second column of scores)
It seems to me that I should not be scoring above average for almost all of them. Also, some of the results appear to contradict each other to an extent. For instance, Schizoid and Histrionic. I took the test honestly and gave it some thought. The results seem to indicate that I am crazy.
