I'm not really depressed a lot and my self-confidence isn't high but it isn't low, either. *shrug*

I don't know how accurately one can diagnose oneself but do you ever notice that when you read the descriptions of dissorders such as the ones above you are saying to yourself 'I have that' or 'thats me'. I think some of the charactersitics of mental dissorders rear their ugly heads in all of us from time to time.
But thats my opinion.

Be Well

I had the same scores. I don't think we are narcissistic. We just suffer from an overdose of self-esteem. That's why I find you worthy of being my friend.

Hmm, that Schizotypal thing... come on, I'm not *that* eccentric...

I didn't like the format of the test, because the questions were so either/or. Obviously this test suffers from borderline personality
