* Rapidly-shifting and shallow emotions ~Nope My moods are pretty consistant but deep
* Exaggerates friendships~ Totaly cluless
* Overly-dramatic, occassionally theatrical speech~ As a kid I was
* easily influenced; highly suggestible~ Uh huh, yea sure, I'm miss I have to know all the facts before I make a desicion

Symptoms of Narcissistic Personality Disorder:

* Requires excessive praise and admiration ~ not reqired but it is nice once in a while
* Takes advantage of others~ BIG NO
* Grandiose sense of self-importance~ Does low self esteem count?
* Lack of empathy ~Compleatly the opposite
* Lying, to self and others~ Gosh I hope not.
* Obsessed with fantasies of fame, power, or beauty~ Power to help others maybe, but I would hate to be famous, and I hate for my looks to draw attention.

Ok I know this is "for fun" but a lot of these questions are loaded, as in the choices they give arent necessarily the reason for why I think a certain way, I'm not paranoid, I am cautious, amongst other things.

I do have issues with social situations, but I know about that and am trying to change it ( I had a huge stutter when I was a kid and I'm half jap half irish and it comes up a lot ...and not always in the nicest way) so I avoided people.

Meh so imo its right and really wrong. as far as parnoia is concerned just because you think people are out to get you doesnt mean they arent :p

Man I am so screwed

I scored High on everything

That means i win doesnt it?

Disclaimer: As elsewhere!

Explanation: And now OL is in a conundrum....

From the DSM link in my above post....

"Cautions
The DSM-IV-TR states, because it is produced for the completion of Federal legislative mandates, its use by people without clinical training can lead to inappropriate application of its contents. Appropriate use of the diagnostic criteria is said to require extensive clinical training, and its contents “cannot simply be applied in a cookbook fashion”. The APA notes diagnostic labels are primarily for use as a “convenient shorthand” among professionals. The DSM advises laypersons should consult the DSM only to obtain information, not to make diagnoses, and people who may have a mental disorder should be referred to psychological counseling or treatment. Further, a shared diagnosis/label may have different etiologies (causes) or require different treatments; the DSM contains no information regarding treatment or cause for this reason. The range of the DSM represents an extensive scope of psychiatric and psychological issues or conditions, and it is not exclusive to what may be considered “illnesses”.

NOTE: Bold is my emphasis and is not in the original source.
[pls read the whole thing as its very relevant, but the bold is what I'm looking at OK]

Now I clicked on the Axis I Schizophrenia [wiki] link and I had a quick look [WHY? Because thats what OL was DIAGNOSED BY OTHERS as suffering from since my early teens!] and I'm completely blown away by this.....

"Diagnosis is based on the patient's self-reported experiences and observed behavior. No laboratory test for schizophrenia currently exists."

NOTE: Again Bold and also the emoticons are my empasis and are not contained in the original source.

Personal Disclosure: That cognitive dissonance is SO FREAKING LOUD! :shk:

ummm does this test work lol!!!

Tests like this take a pretty high level of personal integrity when answering the questions. I am curious just how honest people are with themselves?

I am shocked to see that I scored "Very High" in paranoia....

If those results are accurate, I shouldn't be allowed to run loose. But I already knew that much...

These "disorders" are highly subjective. They vary according to what groups of people accept and expect. In some groups, such "disorders" might be highly useful. For instance, a person who scores high on "obsessive/compulsive" may do just fine in some occupation that requires excruciating attention to detail. Someone who is supposedly "paranoid" may make an excellent security officer somewhere. Basically I'd say that these aren't disorders so much as personality *traits*. Only when the trait interferes with a person's life would they be disorders.

Another consideration is that most of these "diagnoses" were invented by the psychiatric community to help categorize various types of behavior. There is a whole book of such "diagnoses", called DSM-IV (Diagnostic and Statistical Manual, version 4). Unfortunately, insurance companies, governmental organizations, hospitals, etc., require that doctors attach some sort of label to people who are being treated (or who might be eligible for treatment). They need some sort of number to plug into a computer, so they describe all sorts of behaviors as "disorders" or other pathology. Since no two people are alike, these numbers are more or less forced on people. Moreover, the same individual may get a different "diagnosis" from different doctors, or even from the same doctor on different days.

Still, it's a bit amusing or intruguing to see how I do on these tests. I value the results as much as I do my newspaper horoscope.

Refreshing to see another person with "very high" as a result. I wonder if the amount of "very high's" that one scores can be directly attributed to the how long they have been on ATS?
