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.

Huh, so that's what I get just because I think I'm wonderful and sometimes dress like a big slut. Hey, I know lots of wonderful people - I just think I'm one of them :-)

You think yourself lucky matey, I'm:

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.

Pshaw!

I look a bit boring, actually. I don't think anyone would disagree with the "moderately histrionic" diagnosis, though. :O)

I'm obsessive-compulsive, apparently.

Incidentally, I put 'no' to 'Do you constantly second guess yourself?', then almost immediately changed it to 'yes'. ;-)

Comes as no surprise that you're the sanest person we know, hon!

I have no confidence in a test which describes you as only moderately narcissistic.

That is like describing King Kong as a large monkey,

Hmm.

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.


I'm fairly sure this is because I said I had stolen things from shops and had done things I could be jailed for. Which is true, but also true of everyone I know.

Anyway, as the wife of a psychologist I can say confidently that this test is far from definitive.

Of course, I'd be saying that anyway given the range of personailty disorders it thinks I have. :)

I'm not going to post my resluts to this because I don't like the term 'personality disorder' at all. Also I want everyone to know how mad I am. In fact the only thing I found out fromdoing the est is that I am considerably madder when listening to Unkle that when listening to upbeat tracks by Green Day. Surprise. Is there such a thing as Susceptible to Lyrics Disorder?

Well, you are certainly doing OK, but you gotta way to before you get up there with Lili and Ciphergoth :).
