how fucked up am i?

Here's where my head's at according to the Personality Disorder Test:

DisorderRating
Paranoid:Low
Schizoid:Moderate
Schizotypal:High
Antisocial:Moderate
Borderline:Low
Histrionic:Low
Narcissistic:Low
Avoidant:Moderate
Dependent:Moderate
Obsessive-Compulsive:High


Believe what you will.

Eroica did this last night and came up with a similar schizotypal reading (hers was even more extreme I think) and that's the one that resonated with me at the time. Now having done the test myself I'd have to agree with the two disorder readings that reached above the generally normal: I've always asserted that I'm a lazy perfectionist (or as has been referred to elsewhere a perfectionist with the habits of a sloth), and schizotypal suits me. I'm happy with those labels. Well, not happy but they fit.

Thought I'd be higher on the avoidant scale though, and lower on the dependent one. Guess that's the thing about these tests, they (purport to) tell you something about your own personality that you hadn't figured out fully for yourself.
