I just did the test and it was so unbelievably wrong. I forgot to copy it and post it on here, and can't be bothered to do it again. Anyway it said that I was hist(something) I can't remember, but basically that I was always centre of attention. How very strange?

Of course you cannot expect miracles from online tests, in any way I think there is certain validity in it and it helps to get to know yourself better.

The test is probably pretty accurate for me in everything except obsessive-compulsive, which is just wrong. Should be low.

....and their descriptions....
Paranoid Personality Disorder.
Fiercely independent and strongly self-sufficient. History may show abuse during childhood that has taught this person to not trust others. Otherwise they simply have strong survival instincts that, if chanelled well can cause this individual to be a very good leader.
Schizoid Personality Disorder
The 'loner' personality, grossly misunderstood by most people. One who enjoys the quiet of solitude which society eroneously judges as being 'abnormal'. This individual is capable of unique insights and may often be the 'Great Thinker' personality. Many great thinkers in history are said to have 'suffered' from this 'disorder'; Carl Gustav Jung, the Father of Analytical Psychology, was said to have been one.
Schizotypal Personality Disorder
Like the Shcizoid type, this personality falls under the category of 'the visionary', and 'the prophet'. Known for their eccentricity and creative flair, they have a unique access to mystical phenomena that may or may not be real. Often this personality type may be an artist. Training of thinking and emotions is required to harness this individual's capacity for higher awareness and insight, so as to not remain 'lost' in the confusion that the attainment of higher conciousness can bring. Just as reaching higher conciouness requires stepping outside of "normal" thinking and awareness - "You will lose your mind and come to your senses" said psychologist Fritz Perls. This characteristic of being willing or able to go past normal conceptual awareness is what all those who attain enlightenment have in common.
Antisocial Personality Type.
Highly misunderstood personality. An individual with a high sensitivity towards others. This strong emotionality requires training in order to avoid the individual feeling highly vulnerable and their emotional energy being mis-directed. A person with a strong capacity to empathise and feel and express compassion, who requires -like all others (mis) diagnosed as having only negative characteristics ie: a Personality DISORDER- encouragement and support. With proper support and training (mind, and emotional) this individual can develop to express their true inner nature as opposed to the artificial, negative nature, and the highly altruistic and compassionate individual within is made manifest without also.
Borderline Personality Disorder
Develops strong emotional attachments towards others. Great capacity for empathy and emotional maturity. Again, with proper training and support, the inner personality can be made manifest outside. It is well worth it as this individual has a stronger than usual capacity to express love and emotions. Often can have a high sex drice that goes with this overall passionate personality. Also may be considered by the opposite sex as highly attractive, like in 'Girl Interrupted'.
Histrionic Personality Disorder
The "Actor Personality Type". The "Big Brother Contestant". Many Hollywood stars would fall into this category, or otherwise the BPD category. Loves and audience and thrives on admiration. Is a born performer with a talent for conveying feelings to others in a persuasive manner. Much charisma and appeal. There is, of course, an equal down side to the up side. Again, such talent may require chanelling so as to be positively expressed.
Narcissitic Personality Disorder
Similar to the HPD, the NPD is less the performer but retains the high personal charisma and charm. The danger is, again, over self involvement and a tendency towards lying that comes with this individual's charm and persuasive traits. Needs to channel such energy positively. Many so-called 'normal' people 'suffer' from degrees of this disorder.
Avoidant Personality Disorder
A highly sensitive individual. Great charisma and emotional energy -that when ineffectively channeled/trained can be directed negatively. Again, great potential yet to be realised exists here, as this personality type has a powerful personal presence and charisma -and the strong energy og this powerful creator, of course, is precisely what scares this individual and causes them to avoid people. With training and persistence, however, this individual can realise such potential, experiencing their strong emotional energy and magnetic personality in a highly positive as opposed to negative way. Also, may have a talent and inclination for creativity and insight.
Dependent Personality Disorder
Very caring creature. Similar to the Borderline in how they form strong bonds with others and have a great capacity for emotional empathy. With training, again, this individual can realise such a high potential for compassion and mature emotional understanding of others. In fact, this individual has a strong potential to become highly independent and self-actualised: their so-called "disorder" being misleading; and a desire and tendency for independence hiding within this individual's dependent and needy appearance. With some encouragement, this individual will come to find courage within -and when they do, they will posses a level of independence and self-sufficiency that few people will have mastered.
Obsessive Compulsive Personality Disorder
The type of person who makes the breakthrough and creates the great work of art. Their passion for perfection is merely a form of a passion for life, just as the search for perfection underscores all survival and achievement. Such positive characteristics -these people are often responsible for great achievements- nonetheless may require a different sort of discipline that brings perspective to this individual's strong tendency towards focus. Focus without perspective can be counterproductive and also can result in great distress, anxiety, and also simply being in a 'rut'. Again, with appropriate training, patience and support, this individual can rise past their limitations and re-experience the positives of having a so-called 'personality disorder'.
