Hmm... I sound like a combo of Extra 4 and Secret 6. ...Although I certainly hope I don't seem stuck up. Do I...? (Extra 4 is The Impossible? Maze, isn't it? Ha! I knew it was sorta like me!)

Heehee... I just look the "personality disorder test"...

http://www.4degreez.com/misc/personality_disorder_test.mv

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

*Histrionic*
People with histrionic personality disorder are constant attention seekers. They need to be the center of attention all the time, often interrupting others in order to dominate the conversation. They use grandiose language to discribe everyday events and seek constant praise. They may dress provacatively or exaggerate illnesses in order to gain attention. They also tend to exaggerate friendships and relationships, believing that everyone loves them. They are often manipulative.

...Eh, just a very little, like it said. Mostly just those last 2 sentences... and conversation dominating... but that's 'cuz I have a dominant personality. I *DO* exaggerate things, but mostly when complaining, like "I NEVER" and "He ALWAYS," etc. I also *DO* like praise, even though it makes me all shy and smiley...

*Obsessive-Compulsive*
Obsessive-Compulsive personality disorder is similar to obsessive-compulsive anxiety disorder. People with this disorder are overly focused on orderliness and perfection. Their need to do everything "right" often interferes with their productivity. They tend to get caught up in the details and miss the bigger picture. They set unreasonably high standards for themselves and others, and tend to be very critical of others when they do not live up to these high standards. They avoid working in teams, believing others to be too careless or incompetent. They avoid making decisions because they fear making mistakes and are rarely generous with their time or money. They often have difficulty expressing emotion.

Oh yeah! 100% me! well, 95%, anyway. Then again, I've already said I have OCPD. Shocking.

Wow. TMI, I know. Meh, I don't care. I admit, I have my share of problems... :)
What do you guys have, if any?

They are perceived as humorless and distant and often are termed "loners."


 Uhm, there isn't much left to say.

Hmm... That sounds a little bit like me, too. Although within the past few years, it's changed a bit. That may also be why I truly don't want a romantic relationship with anyone. Friendship and family, yes, though. People just can't seem to understand that. My family says I'll be lonely. No. Alone, yes, but not LONELY. Without friends I'd be lonely, but only then.

Believe me, I'm a *LOT* more sociable than I used to be. Ever since I moved, I'm a lot more open and talkative. No doubt you guys have all noticed that.

A bit Schizoid and moderately Histronic... Kinda contradicting, huh?

 Everyone is different.

 I can understand your thoughts on relationships. However, I couldn't share the same perspective as you. Even with friends, and family, I'm sure I'd still feel lonely. I can't imagine anything better than waking up every morning next to someone you love. Ack, that sounds extremely out of character. >>;

 Schizoid and Histrionic are quite the opposites. However, I guess they both could apply to different parts of one's personality, and so, coexist. Personalities are quite a mystery.

Bah, and then there's me, high on just about everything:

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

Bah, I'm Borderline and Paranoid. Both fit me PERFECTLY.

I'm surprised that they said I was "High" on Narcissistic, though. I don't tend to be arrogant, perhaps I come off as it, but I don't MEAN it...

Other than that, I'd say that everything else is about right for me. Although I think I'm more Schizoid than "Moderate" though...

Congratulations! You have just been blessed by the wisdom of Steve.

Just in case anyone is confused, I am not fat and do not like E-Z Bake ovens that much. Thank you.
EDIT: I'll let you decide if I'm stupid.

I took the 4degreez.com Personality Disorder test and here are my results:


Disorder / Rating
Paranoid: Very High
Schizoid: Moderate
Schizotypal: Very High
Antisocial: High
Borderline: Very High
Histrionic: Moderate
Narcissistic: High
Avoidant: Moderate
Dependent: High
Obsessive-Compulsive: Moderate

Paranoid
Paranoid personality disorder is characterized by a distrust of others and a constant suspicion that people around you have sinister motives. People with this disorder tend to have excessive trust in their own knowledge and abilities and usually avoid close relationships with others. They search for hidden meanings in everything and read hostile intentions into the actions of others. They are quick to challenge the loyalties of friends and loved ones and often appear cold and distant to others. They usually shift blame to others and tend to carry long grudges.

Schizoid
People with schizoid personality disorder avoid relationships and do not show much emotion. They genuinely prefer to be alone and do not secretly wish for popularity. They tend to seek jobs that require little social contact. Their social skills are often weak and they do not show a need for attention or acceptance. They are perceived as humorless and distant and often are termed "loners."

Schizotypal
Many believe that schizotypal personality disorder represents mild schizophrenia. The disorder is characterized by odd forms of thinking and perceiving, and individuals with this disorder often seek isolation from others. They sometimes believe to have extra sensory ability or that unrelated events relate to them in some important way. They generally engage in eccentric behavior and have difficulty concentrating for long periods of time. Their speech is often over elaborate and difficult to follow.

Antisocial
A common misconception is that antisocial personality disorder refers to people who have poor social skills. The opposite is often the case. Instead, antisocial personality disorder is characterized by a lack of conscience. People with this disorder are prone to criminal behavior, believing that their victims are weak and deserving of being taken advantage of. They tend to lie and steal. Often, they are careless with money and take action without thinking about consequences. They are often agressive and are much more concerned with their own needs than the needs of others.

Borderline
Borderline personality disorder is characterized by mood instability and poor self-image. People with this disorder are prone to constant mood swings and bouts of anger. Often, they will take their anger out on themselves, causing themselves injury. Suicidal threats and actions are not uncommon. They think in very black and white terms and often form intense, conflict-ridden relationships. They are quick to anger when their expectations are not met.

Histrionic
People with histrionic personality disorder are constant attention seekers. They need to be the center of attention all the time, often interrupting others in order to dominate the conversation. They use grandiose language to discribe everyday events and seek constant praise. They may dress provacatively or exaggerate illnesses in order to gain attention. They also tend to exaggerate friendships and relationships, believing that everyone loves them. They are often manipulative.


Narcissistic
Narcissistic personality disorder is characterized by self-centeredness. Like histrionic disorder, people with this disorder seek attention and praise. They exaggerate their achievements, expecting others to recongize them as being superior. They tend to be choosy about picking friends, since they believe that not just anyone is worthy of being their friend. They tend to make good first impressions, yet have difficulty maintaining long-lasting relationships. They are generally uninterested in the feelings of others and may take advantage of them.

Avoidant
Avoidant personality disorder is characterized by extreme social anxiety. People with this disorder often feel inadequate, avoid social situations, and seek out jobs with little contact with others. They are fearful of being rejected and worry about embarassing themselves in front of others. They exaggerate the potential difficulties of new situations to rationalize avoiding them. Often, they will create fantasy worlds to substitute for the real one. Unlike schizoid personality disorder, avoidant people yearn for social relations yet feel they are unable to obtain them. They are frequently depressed and have low self-confidence.

Dependent
Dependent personality disorder is characterized by a need to be taken care of. People with this disorder tend to cling to people and fear losing them. They may become suicidal when a break-up is imminent. They tend to let others make important decisions for them and often jump from relationship to relationship. They often remain in abusive relationships. They are overly sensitive to disapproval. They often feel helpless and depressed.

Obsessive-Compulsive
Obsessive-Compulsive personality disorder is similar to obsessive-compulsive anxiety disorder. People with this disorder are overly focused on orderliness and perfection. Their need to do everything "right" often interferes with their productivity. They tend to get caught up in the details and miss the bigger picture. They set unreasonably high standards for themselves and others, and tend to be very critical of others when they do not live up to these high standards. They avoid working in teams, believing others to be too careless or incompetent. They avoid making decisions because they fear making mistakes and are rarely generous with their time or money. They often have difficulty expressing emotion.



Notice none of them are the "Low" Rating.
