Here are my results:
Disorder | Rating
Paranoid: High
Schizoid: Moderate
Schizotypal: Moderate
Antisocial: Low
Borderline: Low
Histrionic: High
Narcissistic: Moderate
Avoidant: High
Dependent: High
Obsessive-Compulsive: HighThe problem I have with it is that some of the questions are more situational for me, or they're absolutely accurate perceptions of what's going on around me. Obviously, some of that is to be expected, especially with questions like, "Do you feel uncomfortable in social situations?" Um... Would that be social situations like dinner with GG and my mother the other night? Or social situations like hanging out at my local? Or social situations like cocktail parties where I know one or two people, tops?
The biggest issue for me, though, involved my family. Members of my family have told me for most of my life that I'm selfish, self-centered, arrogant, a failure, uncaring, etc. Let me see... Hm... These are the same people who did what during my childhood? Protected me? Nope, that wasn't it... That's right! These are the people who neglected me, berated me, insulted me -- and often continue to do so. So, when they ask, "Do you feel suspicious that people close to you are planning things that will end up hurting you?" I gotta say -- as a matter of fact, yes, they are!
There's a family crisis going on right now, which I'm afraid is going to lead to a family firestorm. Those same accusations are likely to come up again. Some things have already been said. So, that's not Paranoia -- that's accurate reporting based on previous experience of these people!
But it is a cool test. I'll probably take it again, if I remember to...
