Well, the test seems to be right about me. The trademarks of Schizoid personality disorder describe me very well. I feel that maybe I should go to a professional for a diagnosis in order to find out.

I posted this mainly because I think the test is mildly amusing but if anyone wishes to share or discuss their experience with personality disorders it would be an interesting topic.

Please refrain from poking the Old One� with a spoon as it will annoy him and he already has a low opinion of you to begin with. That is all.

So, that's what the test says. But of course I already knew that I'm a raving lunatic...

Heh... I don't believe people are out to get me, but it never hurts to check... a 3rd time... I'm not paranoid, really! Woah, I am such a schizoid loner, though I do happen to like people. No real contradiction there, my favorite place is alone in a crowd sometimes. Schizotypical, yeah, yeah, it's a good thing I don't believe some of the weird stuff my mind throws my way... do spontaneous hallucinations count as an overactive imagination? Wow, Borderline is low, eh? Must be all that personality exercise I've been doing for the last few years. Histrionic. Omg, hey look I'm histrionic! Hey! Hey look!

Dependant, don't I know it. :banghead: What, you mean the world isn't going to come to me? In light of recent events, this is probably a reaction to my current situation more than a temperament. Although I admit I have always envied the lifestyles of my pets. Strange though, as much as I like being taken care of, anyone who tries to push me around gets a quick, cold, and ruthless response. I don't really care about losing any specific person, Bill Joe Wifebeater can kiss my tail, it's just the thought of losing every single person in the world that scares me. Dumb, I know, but that was the last dream I ever had that woke me up screaming: everyone was gone.

Obsessive-compulsive. Well, considering I fill out every single survey that comes my way, can't relax if I ever leave a problem unresolved, constantly fiddle with things when trying to sit still, and often go off into completely absorbed trances (see 'hallucinations' above), that pretty much fits me to a T. Plus I'm a compulsive speller. I admit it! *sbos*

This too is partially environmental lately, my natural O/C tendancies exacerbated by lack of stimulation in life. You ever see those lab rats, left alone in their rows of plain featureless cages in pitch blackness all night? They've done studies that show the rats run out of stimulation and just fall into infinite loops, much like our own silicon dopplegangers. Running around the cage in tight circles for hours, or any number of bizarre repetitions. An escape attempt degrading into climbing up the cage wall, climbing down again, climbing up the cage wall, ad nauseum. Chewing one's leg bloody. Grooming the fur down to naked irritated skin. Lack of stimulation, as far as I've seen, does indeed stimulate obsessive/compulsive behavior. Is it any wonder the rash of O/C cases that sprang up in housewives back when we weren't allowed to work?

Being an analytical type, I'm a perfectionist to a point, which contrasts with my lazy side, which often gets the better of me. Despite having a low-level social anxiety, I answered no to most of the questions that might have tagged me as such, simply because they were yes or no questions. If the test had even just slightly more variation to the potential answers, I think it'd be more accurate. Still, here were my results:

I definitely have some O-C tendencies, although I know (this is going to sound bad, but it's how I feel) I can stop it if I want. I like to go up stairs by twos and finish on my right foot. I've figured out which staircases here at work have odd or even numbers of stairs so that I know which foot and step to start out on. But the lazy side allows me to forgo that if I don't feel like it, or if I think others will question what I'm doing. I get mildly upset if I forget and miscalculate a set of stairs and come up short at the top.

Some people will say that having your CDs arranged alphabetically by artist (and then by album title) is O-C, but I think it's just good organizational sense. I've also got my books arranged loosely by subject (math, physics/cosmology, philosophy, fiction). My wife's books are just on a shelf in no particular order. My son (at 2.5) seems to be more like me right now. He's got a dozen or so books from some childrens book club which are all the same size, and on separate occasions, he has taken all of them off the shelf and arranged them on the floor. Once in a long line 'til he ran out of room and then started a second row with the final book, and the other time in a 3x4 pattern. He seems to like lining things up. I just hope he won't be as lazy as his mother or I.
