[[!meta title="I'm worried (a bit) about this..."]] [[!meta author="Daniel Silverstone"]] [[!meta date="2002-10-12 18:31:00 +0100"]] [[!tag converted-badly-from-textile old-livejournal]] I decided to take a personality test as-linked from a friend’s LiveJournal account here Amazingly my results were remarkably similar to my own analysis of myself:
Disorder Rating
Paranoid: Low
Schizoid: Low
Schizotypal: High
Antisocial: Low
Borderline: Low
Histrionic: Low
Narcissistic: Low
Avoidant: Low
Dependent: Moderate
Obsessive-Compulsive: Low

Here (for your delight and efidication) is the explanation of the non-low sections… Schizotypal Many believe that schizotypal personality disorder represents mild schizophrenia. The disorder is characterized by odd forms of thinking and perceiving, and individuals with this disorder often seek isolation from others. They sometimes believe to have extra sensory ability or that unrelated events relate to them in some important way. They generally engage in eccentric behavior and have difficulty concentrating for long periods of time. Their speech is often over elaborate and difficult to follow. Dependent Dependent personality disorder is characterized by a need to be taken care of. People with this disorder tend to cling to people and fear losing them. They may become suicidal when a break-up is imminent. They tend to let others make important decisions for them and often jump from relationship to relationship. They often remain in abusive relationships. They are overly sensitive to disapproval. They often feel helpless and depressed.
All in all, far far too scary
