Another pretty sorry-ass Internet psychological test. All yes/no answers (yeah, yeah, I’ve taken an MMPI) with, I suspect, very little in the way of true testing of the (often flawed) questions. It doesn’t take long with this test to figure out how to skew your results. Paranoid: Low Schizoid: Low Schizotypal: Moderate Antisocial: Low Borderline: Low Histrionic: Low Narcissistic: Low Avoidant: Low Dependent: Low Obsessive-Compulsive: Moderate I answered as best I could the flawed questions, and it let my cuckoo ass by. ---

Ringo, Unless what? Don’t leave us hanging! I was low on everything but Schizoid and Avoidant, which I scored moderate, but that does not describe me in the least. So I guess I’m not very screwed up. Which I think would be a warning flag that this test has some really serious flaws. ---

Huh. Scored **Low** on every category. So…either I’m painfully normal, in complete denial, or this is a trick to put me off guard so they can come get me in the night. ---
