I think it was pretty accurate but I had a lot to say about each result so I decided to blog about them.


Paranoid they said I was high, I would have said very high because I'm very paranoid. As a pessimist I'm always thinking of the worse possible thing that's going to happen next. It's stopped me from making a lot of decisions in my life.

Schizoid they said I was low and after reading the info for it, I would say I'm moderate. They say in the description they prefer being alone but do not wish for popularity. I do prefer to be alone, but I'm not against popularity at all. They also say they avoid relationships and do not show much emotion. I don't avoid relationships, I just don't have them. Emotion, I really don't show. It's hard for me to express or show how I feel. Actually, as I keep reading and comparing, I would say I'm kind of high for this disorder. I think if I keep going at the rate I'm going, I'll be feeling like this eventually. Uh-oh.

Schizotypal they rated me moderate for this and as I read the info for it I would say I'm very high for this. OMG. I cannot believe this. It sounds EXACTLY like me. I basically live in my mind. And they say people with this disorder have "odd forms of thinking and perceiving, and individuals with this disorder often seek isolation from others". Come on now, if that's not me then I don't know what is. But maybe, I'm not as weird or crazy as I think I am and that's why they gave me only moderate for this.

Antisocial they only rated me as moderate and I was very surprised I would have definitely given myself very high. For as long as I can remember, people have been telling me I am antisocial and that's why I would say very high. But do I think I'm antisocial? Nah. I just enjoy time by myself. But as I read their description of it, I see why they say I'm not and I think if the people around me read it, they wouldn't think so either. Basically, they describe antisocial people as having no conscience and as selfish. They do bad to people and feel they deserve it because they are weak. Which is not me at all. So I guess that is accurate.

Borderline at first I didin't know what this was. But they rated me as very high and I would have to agree. Borderline to me seems the same as depression. It describes it as having low self-worth, suiciadal thoughts, self injury and more. They all apply to me so I can see why I was given a very high rating.

Histrionic what the hell is a histrionic? Anyway I was rated as moderate and I would have to disagree. I would say I'm low in this area. If very low is an option, then that's me. This disorder consists of someone who always wants to be the center of attention, dresses or acts provactively and more outrageness which is nothing like me. I don't know which answer I submitted that would make them give me a moderate rating for this but I can tell you now that it is wrong.

Narcissistic I've heard of this word before. They rated me as moderate and again I would say very low if that is an option. Apparently they are like histrionics in many ways. I'm not sure what the difference is, but it doesn't apply to me. The only things I can kind of identify with is seeking the approval and praise of others, and having trouble forming lasting relationships. But I wouldn't identify myself as a narcissist.

Avoidant even the word sounds like me lol. But I was rated as very high and I would have to agree. I literally fit the entire description, I have all the "symptoms". It's so weird. What really freaked me out was this: "Often, they will create fantasy worlds to substitute for the real one." Believe me when I tell you that I can write some good books. This is so freaky. Wow. I saved that page to my favorites. Unbelievable. Ok moving on.

Dependent I was rated as moderate and I agree. I don't really like asking people for help so that has a lot to do with it I guess. And I'm not afraid of being alone because I've basically accepted that it's the way I'm meant to be in life.

Obsessive-Compulsive I was rated as high and I agree. I have this weird thing I've been doing with the palms of my hands ever since I was little. I can't explain it, I'd have to show you for you to know. And I've always thought that it was a little obsessive-compulsive. But as in their description none of that applies to me. Apparently these people are rude and hard on themselves and others. Ok, I can be a little hard on people but it's not intentionally. Hard on myself, yea. I thought that was normal? And I can also identify with showing no emotion. That's a big problem for me. Other than that, I don't see it. Maybe they see something I don't.
