I know that autism and Asperger was very commonly misdiagnosed as schizophrenia in the past, but I didn't know it persist today. How old are you? When you were diagnosed with schizophrenia as a teen, was it a really long time ago? Did you hallucinate or show any signs of schizophrenia at all?

I do have Obsessive-Compulsive tendencies, but I don't know that its severe enough to warrant a diagnoses. But I'm not sure if the quiz is referring to Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder or if its referring to Obsessive-Compulsive Personality Disorder, which are apparently two different disorders.
You are right, obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD) and obsessive compulsive personality disorder (OCPD) are two different things. People with OCD have specific obsessions/ compulsions, such as checking and re-checking if the door is locked or repeatedly washing their hands to make sure they don't have some deadly desease. People with OCPD don't have these, and their apparent obsessiveness arises from a personality trait of being too perfectionistic (wanting everything organized, having high moral standards, high work standards, etc). People with OCD, on the other hand, are not perfectionistic, they just constantly doubt their memory that they actually locked the door, despite having cheked it 20 times.
As far as the test goes, it tests you for OCPD, not OCD, since it is Personality Disorder test and, as the name tells you, OCPD is the only one of the two that is regarded as Personality Disorder.
