I think I posted something like this a long time ago here...

 

Well...the good news is that I'm not a histrionic narcissist. Just a paranoid dependant avoidant.

Is it actually possible to be a "dependant avoidant"?. Or are those irreconcilable forces what's making me paranoid?

 

If I recall the last one, there was no way anyone taking the test would end up with a result which could not recommend them as qualifying for therapy... a built in device to prey on the less than secure to flip them into the doctor's office and on to that couch: ka-ching $ ka-ching $

Took it... yep, as I thought, I'm ready for therapy and forking over shekels to the mental health therapy industry complex. What a surprise.

 

I got 'we submitted your test to the sanitary authorities and an ambulance will be at your place in any minute'.

 

Yeah, they don't seem to believe in the possibility of "You're doing fine - keep up the good work"

 

Obsessive compulsive, histrionic, and schizoid. Hmmm. I guess I got off pretty easy.

 

Here is the result if you go straight down the list, checking the middle of the five degrees all the way through:

Okay, I'll play.

Its good that the site has brief definitions listed for those terms, because I'd no idea what some mean.

Wow. You scored zero on the category I scored 90. I need to make a pilgrimage to sit at the feet of the master.

 

I'm more narcissistic than I thought... Nah, it was pretty much exactly as I predicted.

 

Avoidant Personality Disorder (79%) - individual is socially inhibited, feels inadequate, and is oversensitive to criticism. Core issue is an inability to resolve their codependent need for connection with their codependent fear of rejection and/or discomfort/anxiety around others.

Dependent Personality Disorder (70%)- individual shows an extreme need to be taken care of that leads to fears of separation, and passive and clinging behavior. Core issue is the need to be parented by others (i.e. avoid growing up / becoming self-sufficient).

It's embarassing how accurate this is

Paranoid Personality Disorder (66%)- individual generally tends to interpret the actions of others as threatening; preoccupied with suspiciousness/paranoia. They are stuck between their need for others and their mistrust of others.

This one, not so much

 

Paranoid 48% 50%
Schizoid 52% 40%
Schizotypal 47% 56%
Antisocial 57% 46%
Borderline 44% 45%
Histrionic 26% 52%
Narcissistic 27% 40%
Avoidant 59% 48%
Dependent 50% 44%
Obs.-Compulsive 30% 45%


Hmm. I'd have said I was more narcissistic, histrionic and obsessional than that, but less paranoid, antisocial and dependent. The avoidance sounds right.

Oops, got high Schizotypal tendencies revealed...
My Narcissistic tendencies got closer to normal over years

Schizotypal Personality Disorder - individual is uncomfortable in close relationships, has thought or perceptual distortions, and peculiarities of behavior; preoccupied with seeing themselves and/or the world as strange/odd

 

Hah. I scored below the average web score in everything. Close to it in 'antisocial' though. Most geezers are in some state of retreat, I suspect, sometimes with a brief burst of sociability early in the senility phase of dodderdom.

There is something objectionable about scoring below average in everything, even if all categories are undesirable. Damn it, if I were just a smidgin more antisocial...

 

That's not what antisocial personality disorder is though. Antisocial personality disorder involves a disregard for other people's rights. It's the same thing as psychopathy or sociopathy.

I don't need a test to know how messed up I am.

 

Some of the questions here are so vague as to be meaningless . I don't think I hacve aby personality disorders per se . My main problem in life is that I'm so horribly frustrated by so many bad breaks in life . Far more than most people could ever take. People commit suicide for far less difficulty than I've been through !
Or they just lose it .
