Welcome to Gaia! ::

To start things off, I am a new member. I don't like introducing myself, however. Anyway, this is just a test to take if you're bored or curious about the way you act. You can post your results here.

Do the results match what you've been diagnosed with?
Do any of your results seem unusual?
Did this test help you to understand yourself and your personality disorders more?

For the record, here are my results..

Paranoid: High
Schizoid: High
Schizotypal: High
Antisocial: Moderate
Borderline: Very High
Histrionic: Moderate
Narcissistic: Low
Avoidant: Very High
Dependent: Moderate
Obsessive-Compulsive: High

It makes sense to me. I have a mild case of OCD (not so horribly bad to the point where I take meds) and my therapist told me I'm bipolar and schizophrenic. I do tend to be extremely paranoid during any givin situation.

And I'm sorry if this test has been posted before. I only looked at the first page.

Cute test. I've seen it before on LiveJournal. It's just for fun. Also, just for people who might be confused while reading, Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, Bipolar Disorder and Schizophrenia are different from the personality disorders that may share components of their names. That being said, here are my fun results!

Paranoid: Moderate
Schizoid: Low
Schizotypal: Moderate
Antisocial: Low
Borderline: Low
Histrionic: Low
Narcissistic: Low
Avoidant: Low
Dependent: Low
Obsessive-Compulsive: Low

It's funny because the two that were moderate have exclusionary criteria for the illness I do have! It's funny that they say they're moderate. Many of the severe related symptoms just aren't options on the quiz, I guess.

You might be the second or third person I've seen on here whose therapist told them that they were both Bipolar and Schizophrenic, even though the Diagnostic Criteria are exclusionary to make that technically impossible! It makes me wonder about the new DSM-V that is supposed to be coming in 2010!

Paranoid: Moderate
Schizoid: Low
Schizotypal: Moderate
Antisocial: Low
Borderline: Low
Histrionic: Moderate
Narcissistic: Low
Avoidant: Very High
Dependent: Moderate
Obsessive-Compulsive: Moderate

Hmmm. That's something I know I need to work on.

I've taken this test before. My results always change, but so do my answers to the questions. I find it hard to fit some things into 'yes' or 'no'.

Look! Mine are in a funny little order:

Paranoid: High
Schizoid: High
Schizotypal: Moderate
Antisocial: Moderate
Borderline: Moderate
Histrionic: Moderate
Narcissistic: Moderate
Avoidant: Low
Dependent: Low
Obsessive-Compulsive: Low


I've never got anything so high for either schizoid or paranoid. I wouldn't call myself either of those.. I think it's picking up on my veiw that I am best out of close friendships or other close realtionships because they seem to do more harm than good to me.

I've never got anythign lower than moderate for schizotypal. sweatdrop I do show symptoms of schizotypal and borderline. Not enough to be diagnosed, though.

I don't really know where it's getting Narcissistic, Histrionic, and Antisocial stuff from. Perhaps just me describing my self as selfish?

I think it does have some accuracy... but the yes/no answers make it easy for mistakes. So if you get high/veryhigh on something, it may be worth googling it for a proper list of syptoms.

-lack of social or emotional reciprocity
B. Restricted repetitive and stereotyped patterns of behavior, interests, and activities, as manifested by at least one of the following:
-encompassing preoccupation with one or more stereotyped and restricted patterns of interest that is abnormal either in intensity or focus
-apparently inflexible adherence to specific, nonfunctional routines or rituals
-stereotyped and repetitive motor mannerisms (e.g., hand or finger flapping or twisting, or complex whole-body movements)
-persistent preoccupation with parts of objects

D. There is no clinically significant general delay in language (e.g., single words used by age 2 years, communicative phrases used by age 3 years)
E. There is no clinically significant delay in cognitive development or in the development of age-appropriate self-help skills, adaptive behavior (other than social interaction), and curiosity about the environment in childhood
F. Criteria are not met for another specific Pervasive Developmental Disorder or Schizophrenia



The symptoms I have sometimes are in blue. Always in red. Orange is something I am not certain about. I know I have social problems and issues with becoming very easily overwhelmed. I don't think these have to do with the fact that I believe in the supernatural, however.

Hmm......perhaps I should take this to my therapist and see what she thinks about it.

Most of these I do agree with. I am quite paranoid and my last therapist thought I might have BPD. So, perhaps...

I've only been diagnosed with Anxiety and Depression...
but otherwise, my Very Highs are quite accurate. However, I don't fit well with paranoid, Dependant or really O-C. I'm simply used to being let down by others and tend to just worry that it'll keep happening. I'm not quite as stand-off-ish as it sounds. The whole histronic thing is understandable...I've always wanted to be an actress, but I'm not that attentions seeking.

Generally, this test seems pretty accurate. But its not for diagnosis. its just a test.
