personality disorder test POLL

Post Reply New Topic

due to request from a WP member, I present this poll of results of the personality disorder test, below-
http://www.4degreez.com/misc/personalit ... er_test.mv
I couched the results as "higher or lower" of each listed disorder, because the WP poll format allows for only 20 selections. higher result = high or very high; lower result = moderate or low. I put the various personality disorders in the same order as they are on the test so you won't have to search for the result for each line of the poll.
if you wanna talk about your results, please do so.

Crumbs I'm busted Oh well nout new there then. surprised to get higher in most of them though. I thought is was getting better

judging from what I am guessing you posted in the poll, you did better than me

If I view this like a game score I'm totally winning

not too many high-scoring antisocials, so far.

I suppose the antisocials don't come on forums?

that very well could be, or they don't submit to tests like this.

Wow! Thanks!

So... guess there's a chance I have a personality disorder or 4 eh?

^^^well, join the club then! thumleft: you're in excellent company

my results last time i took the test:

you IMHO are very with-it for having very high schizoid scores.

compared to no disorder at all, it is a disorder, but in the context of asd, sometimes it's hard to tell if it's a disorder or an adaptation. looking at some of the main problems i have in my life, i really don't know if, as a rule, schizoid pd is the cause of those problems or part of what makes them tolerable

(about the test, btw, for anyone curious if they may or may not have a personality disorder, my impression is that anything other than "very high" usually doesn't mean much in terms of possibly having an actual personality disorder)

^^^I was dx'ed as schizoid as a child, so the test was correct in my case.

that's kinda odd though, because in theory (nowadays at least) pd's aren't supposed to be diagnosed before early adulthood. maybe back then schizoid pd and asperger's were still synonymous? (iirc, hans asperger used the word schizoid to name what was later renamed as asperger's, and the concept of schizoid pd was sort of an offshoot of what he first observed and documented). afaik to this day there's no clear distinction between schizoid pd and asperger's (there is a distinction, but it's not clear. and the overlap is pretty big)
