What I meant to say was the percentile numbers but I wrote percentages instead for some reason I can't fathom. I think there is some truth about the results for an individual person but the percentile of the population number is meaningless because most of the people who take this test have some type of disorder.
Yes, but also 10 different personality disorders and 70 questions -even if it sounds much- this is just 7 questions per personality disorder. Not very much actually.
Also on this test I score very high on schizotypal and I know I have some traits, but on the classical schizotypal test I don't score very high. This is because I don't really have many of the "overlapping" characteristics with other PDs, but who are also part of schizotypal like paranoia and social anxiety and stuff. So exept for some traits I don't have schizotypal PD, but on this short test I score 90%.
There are also other problems with this test, like with the overlapping of borderline and bipolar (mood fluctuations) and so on. So this test can give you just an idea what you COULD have, but nothing more.
