I came across this site from my friend's multiply... Then I remember the SMS from this 'person' who put a dead rabbit in front of my apartment, "You have take things so far that it makes me and A LOT OF PEOPLE think that YOU ARE PATHETIC...I thought you were stronger than this, like what other people have been saying about you. But you get mad over a SMALL MISTAKE like this." So I figured, let's see what sort of personality disorder I (Me, Myself and I) have... *hint hint hint*... I better TAKE THE TEST(!!!)... *hint hint hint*... This is the second test and somewhat different than the first. (I lost the first because of faulty internet connection). Here I score high first on NARCISSISTIC (62%), then ANTISOCIAL (58%) second, and HISTRIONIC (46%). And I got 34% each for OBSESSIVE-COMPULSIVE, PARANOID, SCHIZOID and SCHIZOTYPAL.
Well, as for my own assessment over the test results, I have to slightly agree with the Narcissistic score (Hahahahaha, should be higher, actually... have you not seen my shrine in my room??? Wakakakak). Whereas with regard to Histrionic's score, I will only comply with a requirement to reduce the score to somewhere below 25% (I can be, in just a nick of time, quite a Drama Queen, I suppose.. Bwehwehwe.. Yet, I shall not burn Rome for it... Drama drama drama... Tears tears tears). I shall not comment too far on Obsessive-Compulsive's score... there is even a possibility to request for a higher score.. Ehem.. ehem... Nevertheless, I have to seriously question the Antisocial's score and strongly argue against Paranoia, Schizoid and Schizotypal. I do wish to guard my own periods of solitute, but I am generally the Social Butterfly... Don't you agree???
The site does caution over the relevance of accuracy with honesty, period of doing test, and consistency. "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."

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).

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.
