Test Note: Read the descriptions below to avoid misinterpreting test results (for example, the Antisocial classification does not mean you are a loner, it means you tend to be insensitive towards others).
General Note: the validity and reliability of DSM personality disorders are still lacking in strong statistical evidence and clear agreement in the scientific and medical community. They are determined by the American Psychiatric Association and will likely be revised in the future.
Author Note:I don't think Schizoid personality is a valid disorder (read), some of the smartest people in history were schizoid because they occupied a remote end of the intelligence bell curve. Schizotypal personality can encompass highly original thinkers as well as totally insane people so I think it's a flawed type. I think the remaining eight disorders are generally valid.

I've been wondering what the general infatuation with mental instability of late is coming from. I don't mean to sound critical, I've simply noticed it's being cast in a better light among my peers.

That was fun. I'm narcissistic to a point, but no more than any other person with a healthy level of self esteem and confidence.

My emotions are quite stable. Especially considering I really have only about 3 angry, sad and none of the above.

My distorted self-percetion is about normal. Just like many other girls, I sometimes minorly obsess to myself about how I could be thinner and OGM the cellulite on my thighs.

I do have some concerning behavioral impulsess, but considering that I'm too smart to let the primitive take over- there's really nothing to worry about.

Ok. Fun's over. Back to work.

Well, I suppose, seeing as I have been diagnosed with Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder, this is pretty accurate.

To a point.

Did you know that there is a therapist gender-bias when diagnosing people with Borderline-Personality Disorder (BPD)? If the therapist knows that the patient is female, they are more likely to diagnose them as having BPD than if the diagnosis is performed before the gender is revealed. Often, they'll diagnose the patient with PTSD instead. Just some food for thought...
