Personality Disorder Test

[General Ludd]

Pretty accurate, I'd say.
('though avoidant should probably be 'very high' or 'extreme' )

rather accurate.

Agathon: when it says moderate, it doesn't mean that it is something really prominent. Just something that exists.

Potassium: We're about equally messed up

Correction - You got one high where I have a moderate. I concede my crown of mental instability...

Weird, if there's anything I'm not, it's Narcissistic... If anything, I would call myself Avoidant or Schizoid, or maybe slightly Schizotypal...

[Guynemer]

It's official... I'm the most boring person on Apolyton.

Can't say I'm surprised.

Wow, looks like I'm the (relatively) sane one of the three of us

All very true, IMHO.

I'm schizotypal in that:

The disorder is characterized by odd forms of thinking and perceiving... 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.

I'm definately a moderate attention seeker (histrionic and narcassistic) although probably more on the histrionic side - wanting to be the centre of attention more than feeling superior or picky.

Obsessive-compulsive I half expected to be high. I do set high standards for myself, I do feel the need to do everything 'right' and for things to be perfect.

I'm a little surprised others weren't a little higher actually. Paranoid and avoidant I would have expected as moderate, possibly also borderline (for mood swings) and dependant (I can't break up with someone and I am "sensitive to disapproval"). But it probably needs 2 questions giving an idea that way to score a moderate in that, as on all 4 I think I answered one yes that may lead to those. Pretty accurate though, IMHO.

A common misconception is that antisocial personality disorder refers to people who have poor social skills. The opposite is often the case. Instead, antisocial personality disorder is characterized by a lack of conscience. People with this disorder are prone to criminal behavior, believing that their victims are weak and deserving of being taken advantage of. They tend to lie and steal. Often, they are careless with money and take action without thinking about consequences. They are often agressive and are much more concerned with their own needs than the needs of others.

I wouldn't call you aggressive, violent or prone to criminal behaviour (as far as I know).

What many people consider to be anti-social would be avoidant on here:

Avoidant personality disorder is characterized by extreme social anxiety. People with this disorder often feel inadequate, avoid social situations, and seek out jobs with little contact with others.

Anti-social means your actions are anti-social, that you don't care about people (psychotic almost). Avoidant means that you don't like interracting with people, and can lack social skills.
