Well, I don't know if I'd take this test too seriously. When I was taking it I found myself wanting some way to indicate the degree to which things seemed true or false to me. I ended up with a lot of high scores too, but I don't think I really have a personality disorder. At least, none of my Ts in the past have suggested it, and I don't see myself fitting the full criteria in the DSM IV for any of them. I think I just have traits of a lot of them in a lesser degree than generally required for a personality disorder, and/or not enough to qualify for the diagnosis.
This sounds like I'm saying that I'm better than someone with a personality disorder, but I really don't think that way. Honestly, I think everyone has reasons for the issues that they have, and mine just happen to be different than most PDs. I mainly don't want anyone to get too discouraged because of what this test says. I think it has some major flaws.
