I guess I’m kind of a mess then.

March 8, 2009 by birdpress

I took this online test to see what kind of personality disorder I have.  I think it’s kind of funny that they actually give you this link when you are finished that says: 

Copy/Paste the following HTML code to your website/weblog/online journal/message board to display your results:

So I guess I’m supposed to be all “woohoo!” and “look how abnormal I am!” and post this on my blog for the world to see!

Like I’d really want to do that!  Come on now.

Besides, the link wouldn’t work. 

Lucky for me though, they also gave me a plain text version to cut and paste!  So here you have it…

Disorder | Rating
Paranoid: Very High
Schizoid: Moderate
Schizotypal: Very High
Antisocial: Low
Borderline: Very High
Histrionic: High
Narcissistic: Moderate
Avoidant: Very High
Dependent: Very High
Obsessive-Compulsive: High

I think they exaggerated a bit.  The best, honest self-diagnosis I could come up with from my extensive web search was Avoidant Personality Disorder.  Of course, even that may be exaggerated, due to the fact that I am an adult and have learned plenty of coping skills.

So, what kind of mess are you?  http://www.4degreez.com/misc/personality_disorder_test.mv

    I’m sure I’m not telling you anything you don’t already know, but these online testing things are a crock.

    Depending on the questions, I can sound more vicious than Hannibal Lecter with a bad case of syphilis.

    The only real psychometric testing should be done with a psychiatrist. Although, I don’t trust those asshats as far as I can throw them, either. There goes my paranoid personality, which blends nicely with the schizotypal.

    Oh yeah, I bet psychiatrists love these tests as much as medical doctors love Web MD!
    “Doctor, I have all the classic symptoms! I’m sure I have Encephalitis Lethargica!”
    “Um, no, Sir, I think you just need to quit smoking so much pot.”

    Heehee. Instead of these online disorder tests they need to provide an online psychiatrist to treat the people who have taken these tests. I know after I take the tests that I become paranoid. :shock: :P

    Yeah, no kidding! I could save lots of money if I could find a free, online shrink to back up my free, online psycho tests!

    Heehee!! You and I are definitely mental!! HAHA!!

    I took the test! Check out my post to see the results. They are NOT pretty!!

    By the way, at the top of your page when you are drafting a new post is a tab that says “Visual” or “HTML”. If you click the “HTML” tab and then paste the HTML code in it shows up great and then you can go back and forth. It works.

    Well, that is too much work. I’m gonna avoid that because I am Avoidant. ;)

    I had low on everything except moderate in O/C.
    It has to be wrong! I just know I’m not normal! ;) Whatever normal is. It just sounds boring. ;)

    Yeah, you probably lied on the test because you are a pathological LIAR! ;)

    ha ha bead….i am thinking i would have been off the charts when i was younger…maybe it is to do with age? Maybe we do not get as riled or aggro about stuff anymore.

    But like you i was surprised. So as Anya said we should not listen to these things…does that mean we are the nutty ones and everyne else isn’t? Hhhmmm…okay just kidding around…think it is the age thing for sure.

    Hmm… if it is an age thing I would hate to know what I would have tested when I was YOUNG! :eek:

    Interesting. I never saw this before. We are both Avoidant. LOL! Go figure!

    The Avoidant thing is the only thing I kind of believe. It describes me pretty well, unfortunately. Not that I care. I’m going to avoid that topic…

    I agree, Magik! I think ten years ago when I talked and wrote about the same stuff I do now, I would have answered differently. Back then people really did talk about me! LOL! And they thought I was odd. Now all that stuff is mainstream or at least more accepted. Now I am just one of the many.

    I guess it is a sign of getting older. I am too boring to talk about anymore. ;)

    You have always just been ahead of your time! I think that’s the way it is with anyone who tests above “low” on any of these. ;)

    Magik Quilter guided me back here to check out the comments. *sniggers* It was worth it.

    Yeah, you all are total psycho freaks. I have nothing to worry about. ;)

    I scored highest on the narcissistic dimension. Ridiculous! This test is obviously not at ALL reliable or valid! I am not at ALL narcissistic! I am FLAWLESS! I am beautiful! I am so wonderful that I keep a mirror on my desk so that I can enjoy my own incredible PERFECTION!!
