[Just for fun](http://www.4degreez.com/misc/personality_disorder_test.mv) Here are my results. 😃 Disorder Rating Paranoid High Schizoid Moderate Schizotypal High Antisocial Moderate Borderline Moderate Histrionic High Narcissistic High Avoidant Moderate Dependent Low Obsessive-Compulsive Moderate Surprising, isn’t it. Some of these questions, I couldn’t answer some of those questions with 100% certainty. This is a test that I need to explain stuff. Anyway, I’m sure this test isn’t highly accurate. ---

Then, I should be scared, shouldn’t I? LOL! I really don’t like these tests because half of them I don’t even remember. ---

Paranoid: Moderate Schizoid: Low Schizotypal: Very High Antisocial: High Borderline: Moderate Histrionic: Very High Narcissistic: High Avoidant: Moderate Dependent: Low Obsessive-Compulsive: Moderate Huh. None of my friends would say I’m antisocial. Odd, maybe, but not at all antisocial. In fact, I’ve been acuused of being _too_ social. Histrionic seems off target as well. ---

Paranoid: Low Uh-oh. Maybe that means I’m not paranoid _enough!_ Schizoid: Moderate Hey, I’m a Gemini. It’s expected. Actually, I disagree with their definition. Schizotypal: Moderate “characterized by odd forms of thinking and perceiving” Um… That’s a problem? Antisocial: Low Borderline: Low Histrionic: Moderate Pay attention to _me!_ Narcissistic: Moderate I love me! (Hey, _somebody_ has to!) Avoidant: Low Dependent: Low Obsessive-Compulsive: Low ---

I find that my answers to these tests have a lot to do with the frame of mind I am in when answering. Today was nasty at work, and so I am testy. Some questions beg a conversation rather than a yes/no format, too. For example: Are you very concerned with your appearance and how others perceive you? Well, no - I’m not worried about my physical appearance. I do worry - a lot - about how others percieve my character. Paranoid: Moderate Schizoid: Moderate Schizotypal: Moderate Antisocial: Moderate Borderline: Moderate Histrionic: Moderate Narcissistic: High Avoidant: High Dependent: Moderate Obsessive-Compulsive: Moderate But for what it is worth, I rank in the 8th level of hell consistently according to [this](http://www.4degreez.com/misc/dante-inferno-test.mv) quiz! ---
