Schizotypal: Moderate (it's just a thing) Histrionic: Moderate Narcissistic: Moderate (It's not narcissistic if your really are) Borderline: Low Avoidant: Low Dependent: Low Obsessive-Compulsive: Low :)

I feel that any testing agency which is so heartless as to omit this crucial question - is clearly out to get me. I'm not gonna take it anymore.
Post #4,628 by Brandioch 8/11/01 12:55:06 PM Reply	I'm going for a disorder instead. Diseases are so...........whatever. I'd rather have a mental disorder named after me. "He's exhibiting severe paranoid delusions coupled with acute Brandioch'ism." :)

Post #4,602 by Steve Lowe 8/11/01 12:54:32 AM Reply	Interesting, like calling Cleo the psychic.. Paranoid: Very High (heh) Schizoid: Moderate Schizotypal: High Antisocial: Moderate Borderline: Moderate Histrionic: High Narcissitic: High Avoidant: Low Dependent: Moderate Obsessive-Compulsive: Low My Wife (psych major, senior - graduates in May) was low on everything except Avoidant and Dependent where she scored Moderate. What I found interesting about this was the binary only answers. I could have answered yes, no, maybe or sometimes to many of the questions given circumstances. My wife echoed my sentiment, and also took issue with the test. The questions are repetitive, seem to be 'spun', and aren't in any way how a mental health professional would go about determining the diagnosis or a patient. ----- Steve

Paranoid: Low Schizoid: High Schizotypal: Low Antisocial: Low Borderline: Low Histrionic: Low Narcissistic: Moderate Avoidant: Low Dependent: Low Obsessive-Compulsive: Moderate Can't say I'd ever thought myself to be Schizoid...

Post #4,613 by Another Scott 8/11/01 8:17:58 AM Reply	Worthless test, IMO. Paranoid: Low Schizoid: Low Schizotypal: Low Antisocial: Low Borderline: Low Histrionic: Moderate Narcissistic: Moderate Avoidant: Low Dependent: Low Obsessive-Compulsive: Low Too many of the questions don't have yes or no answers. E.g. "Are you quiet in social situations, often out of fear of saying something stupid?" Well, I'm usually quiet in social situations, but not usually out of fear of saying something stupid. Etc. But it was interesting. :-) Thanks for posting the link. OBTW, I don't really think I'm as "balanced" as the results above would indicate. :-) I'm certainly not histrionic nor narcissistic - I generally want to be left out of office politics, etc... Cheers, Scott.

Post #4,702 by ben_tilly 8/12/01 12:58:49 AM Reply	What is with the schizoids? A lot of us (myself included) came up high on that. I also come up high on Obsessive-Compulsive, moderate on Schizotypal, Narcissistic, and Dependant, low on everything else. shrug Ben
Post #4,709 by boxley 8/12/01 1:29:07 AM Reply	test was prolly devised by psycologists as opposed to psychiatrists. Touchy feely crew. I think the questions that are based on "do you give a flying fsck what other people think of you?" would prolly be answered no in most cases here. To a psychiatrist that is interesting to a psycologist that is a sign of illness that fits schizoid. OT how is the heat? visited my relatives that live at 173& Walton in the bronx and it was killer there. What they paid for that shithole was scary. I know you mentioned living close to the Hospital do you guys have ac? thanx,.bill Our bureaucracy and our laws have turned the world into a clean, safe work camp. We are raising a nation of slaves.
