Remember they are using 'psychoticism' and 'neuroticism' as personality traits, NOT mental illnesses. So if you score very high or low, you are more likely to have a personality disorder, but it's nowhere near certain. You could just have an atypical personality... though you could be more prone to a mental illness with such an atypical personality. Answering a question like, "I have many enemies" in the affirmative could mean that you're a little paranoid--or it could mean you're a corporate executive or a politician.
I think it was really pretty stupid of them to call their personality traits the same things the two major categories of mental illness were called those days. And they really didn't take autism into account--schizoid personality disorder has a lot in common with autism, if you are an introvert, but they have different causes. SPD assumes you are able to, but simply not interested in, social interaction...
So here's the weird thing: I scored only a 6 in neuroticism, but I've been diagnosed with major depression! Of course I am between episodes right now... if I am lucky I won't have another, but the odds say I will. I did answer honestly.
Oh, and speaking of honesty? Some of those questions were very obviously from the lie scale, meant to detect whether you were trying to make yourself look good... the thing is, I know there were a couple of them that I answered the way most people, if honest, would never answer: For example, "I have never taken advantage of anyone." I can't recall a single incident in which I have, not because I'm especially "good" but because I am extremely sensitive to the very idea of feeling betrayed or disappointed, to the extent that the idea of causing someone else to feel that way is just plain abhorrent to me. But most people have, on occasion, done something however minor that does take advantage of somebody. So realistically you can't assume that your lie scale is going to actually mean that the person lied on every one of those items. Most people will probably give at least one, if not more, honest but favorable answer.
