Personality Disorder Test

Post Reply New Topic

^^ AuntBlabby - well its news to me that I am! I don't agree with the test, and with all the psychiatric contacts I have had over my life no-one has assessed me as schizoid or schizotypal (can't even spell it!!) I'll look it upon Youtube - the font of all knowledge today LOL.

I am simply differently brained and I think that is all about the ASD. After doing quite a lot of reading it checks out. I have had several diagnoses during my life, but I don't think they have been accurate apart from alcoholism, depression and cPTSD. I have been diagnosed as Borderline Personality, and on another occasion with Dissociative Identity Disorder. Although I did learn to dissociate as a coping mechanism for the various trauma, and starting from a very early age with gender dysphoria, non of those conditions has really stuck around. I think it has been Autism all along with my various ways and means of coping with life, which I must say I have been quite creative with. The cPTSD has been a major complication. I believe that Autistic people are easily victimised, we just don't see it coming, or I never did. My inability to 'read' people has always been a liability, but I didn't recognise it. How can you know you are missing something that you don't know is supposed to be there? I did learn to lie at an early age, with no conscience or conception that it was wrong. I am not like that today, I have a very strong sense of what is right and wrong, for me. But as a child, I couldn't read so I memorised the books that I heard the other kids reading to the teacher. (we had to line up to read.) Likewise with numbers and maths I could not understand even the simplest of concepts...until I was about 15 and the decimal system dawned on me. I was however extremely good at algebra. I just faked what I didn't know. With multiple choice questions you have a 25% chance of being right... When I was about 13 I was put in a girls home, I could not understand what I had supposedly done wrong, and assessed by a psychiatrist. They discovered I had a very high IQ and also I think it was he who decided I had Borderline Personality...I can't remember as I had another psych shortly after that. It was recommended I be sent away for 2 years to a facility away from my parents. I dug up the whole case about 9 years ago, got my files and made an official complaint at the way I had been treated..and got a lump sum payment from the govt. The truth of the matter was that I was a victim (not going into that) and everything I did stemmed from that. Plus being on the spectrum I could not explain myself in a way that other people could understand. Thats another skill I have painstakingly learned over the years, how to get myself across. Often though, I am perceived as a nutcase and for the most part shunned socially. I wonder if it is the clothes I wear, or the way I stare at people. I stare hard at people as I am trying to figure out what is going on. ...

I'll listen to a few Youtubes on the Schizotypal Personality and let you know if I think its me.

Nah, Dr Todd Grande does great lists. It was all I needed to know as to why I got that score. There are a couple of things that could be interpreted as Schizotypal, but the thing is the signature moves of Autistic people run very similar - it is just the underlying reasons are different. I dress funny because, well I sometimes can't be bothered not to. I have very few friends and have social anxiety because of ASD. The voices...well thats a different story LOLOLOL

Funny story, Back in the day when videos of each other were rare (35 years ago?) I was reciting one of my poems at someone's wedding and it was recorded. On watching myself I was absolutely horrified at the stupid flappy hands and head movements. I had no idea!! !!

My results

I got low for Paranoid (funny since I have had paranoia in the past), Moderate for Schizoid, Schizotypal, Antisocial, Narcissistic, Borderline and Histrionic (I don't think I really have traits for most of those disorders, especially the Cluster B ones, but the schizoid and schizotypal may be because of my social issues due to ASD), High for Avoidant and Dependent (makes sense as I am shy and socially anxious, and have problems making decisions) and Very High for Obsessive-Compulsive (makes sense as I have OCD and have a very "obsessive-compulsive" personality. But I don't really believe in the results of this test, because it is not a professional diagnosis and I'm pretty confident I don't have a personality disorder.

Not really surprising because my doctor thinks I have avoidant personality disorder.
