Your personality quirks
Posted in: zjnq.com Date: March 15th, 2010
Reminded me of a test I took about what type of personality disorders you might be at risk of developing.
Me? My results came back that I am at high risk of paranoid and obsessive-compulsive disorders. Thank God I'm older and somewhat wiser. Otherwise I'd spend days in a state of self-doubt and self-analysis, with no progress and little relief. ugh.
Symptoms of Paranoid Personality Disorder:
a) Unwillingness to forgive perceived insults
b) Excessive sensitivity to setbacks
c) Distrustfulness and excessive self-reliance
d) Projection of blame onto others
e) Consumed by anticipation of betrayal
f) Combative and tenacious adherence to personal rights
g) Relentlessly suspicious
(c) and (f) are half-true, but (b)?, yes yes yes!, I'll have what she's having!, so true.
Symptoms of Obsessive-Compulsive Personality Disorder:
a) Need for perfection and excessive discipline
b) Preoccupation with orderliness
c) Inflexibility
d) Lack of generosity
e) Hyper-focus on details and rules
f) Excessive devotion to work
(d) is so not me; quite the contrary. But the rest I would say was very true my whole life, but a little less so now.
I would simply add that you may not want to take the test:
If you're young and impressionable;
If you're not feeling particularly strong right now;
If you believe every crap pop psychology;
If you're highly suggestible;
If you give more than 2sh*ts about what people say or think.
I am so hoping a few others take the plunge though. Yay!
Here's the link to the site. I lifted it from Yanks02 at Livejournal.

I scored high on narcissism.
That's hot.
If something was really wrong with you, you wouldn't be able to interract here and carry on a conversation.
Have fun with it.
Glad I don't take it seriously either as if I wasn't depressed before doing that test I certainly would be now. :eek:

Oops. Didn't see your post. So you're diagnosing yourself, huh? I like I like.
But, it's amazing you can call it so clearly though. I would never have imagined myself to be paranoid or inordinately obsessive. I honestly don't feel that way at all. But if you take the axamples of the corresponding symptoms, as I listed in my original post, I can see where certain ones fit me to a T.
I wonder what your scores would be. Hmmm. How about you take the test and make it official. Be the one other person with a "high" risk of something. Hahahaha.

Yay, Sapph!
But, damn! Low in each and every category? I was high in 2, and then low (or is it mid-range?) in 2 others - Schizoid and Narcissistic. Fun girl am I. I can't find my original result and don't want to take it again so soon after. But, if I remember correctly, there's about 4 or 5 other categories that I scored nothing in.
If someone else takes it, let's know if the scoring is "high" "mid" and "low." Or if it's simply high and low only.
I think my quirks are, first, that I am very sensitive, especially to criticism (I think that's Dependant). Someone flipped me off in traffic the other day, and I started crying and then felt terrible for much too long.
Awww. I was never dependent. I am sensitive, but not to criticism of myself by others. A chick flipped me off the other day. I was more bothered that she would dent my car and make me late for work than the one-finger offense and the sight of an angelic looking curly haired blonde girl foaming at the mouth
I'm also nervous ALOT before a big event or presentation (weeks of insomnia, racing heartrate, irrational fear of screwing up, etc. -- not sure what that is, maybe Borderline?).
That's anxiety or panic attacks, isn't it? Most people get that once in a while. I had that a lot when I was looking for work. You know that "extreme inability to recover from setbacks" or whatnot that comes with being a paranoid one. Hahahaha. Not having a job and being able to be totally self reliant and independent, taking care of myself and everyone else as was my normal routine was almost soul-destroying. So much so that I was screwing up my job interviews - it was so damn horrible.
I also need to plan things: like right now, we're moving, and I'm not sure which apartment we'll end up with, and it's driving me totally crazy. I mean, logically, I know that we have several places to choose from and it's all good, but I wish we'd just sign already so I can relax! (I thinks that's Obsessive Compulsive).
I think that comes with age. It's called live-and-learn or once-bitten-twice-shy. That's the way I look at it anyway. You know so much could go wrong or get screwed up by your hubby. Hahahahha. It's true. I have to plan tomorrow before I go to bed. And do not like surprises (read: disappointments) at all. Unless it's a nice present, of course. Am not crazy! Hahahaha.
Despite the scores, I don't feel odd. I think everyone has ways of coping. I don't think these things (tests) really take the full measure of a person at all. There's probably things going on inside everyone that doesn't hinder your day-to-day interaction with people. I feel good. Hahahaha.

Narcissism, I think, is probably the most common type of so-called disorders. Mild forms of it anyway. You hear about it so much. It's really not a disorder anymore is it. It's practically a badge of honor. It's a requirement for actors and other performers - at least those who want to be rich and successful.
But, yay! How brave of you to take the test!! We looooovvve you and only you!!! Hahahaha.
Ah. Guessed I missed it and went back to check your post reporting your test scores. You did not indicate "high" or "low." Hahahahaha. Maybe I am obsessive. Yup. Indeed.
Reminds me abit of Bale on American Psycho. Now that was a fantastic performance ; )
I scored low on abit more than half and moderate on the rest. I won't say I'm a deep thinker because the ethical implications there is pure snobbery, but I am a rather relentless thinker. And things bother me alot. When online and on the Bigsoccer forum though, it's fun to put up this callous, ass-h0le facade and just not give a damn because it's so darned hard to do so in everyday life. That's also why I really enjoy tossing the delicate salads of Benni and Johno.. ; )
It's sort of sad when you reach the stage where you just want to get away from yourself.
I love love love Christian Bale. Since that mindblowing performance in the Stephen Spielberg movie The Empire of The Sun. And he almost stole Little Women away from Wynona Rider.
Didn't see the Psycho movie. To me, Christian will always be that heartbreaking kid in Empire.
That's also why I really enjoy tossing the delicate salads of Benni and Johno.. ; )
Dude! Did you see My Cousin Vinny? You know what? Forget I said anything. :)
