Here is a fun personality-disorder quiz to take and see just how healthy your mind is. I would be facinated to see what different posters here get "high" in. The link is:

www.4degreez.com/misc/personality_disorder_test.mv

I scored high is schizoid and anti-social last year. I can't do the quiz again right now, because the unfree site-blocking program ( http://www.jikimi.net/clean.htm ) at the PC-bang I'm in now won't let me take the quiz. Anyway... can't wait to see how we do. Last year I got the whole academy staff to take it, the foreigners did not fare well, with a few clean minded exceptions, where as, the Korean staff came out with perfectly orderly minds.

Good luck! (Answer honestly, only takes five minutes.)

Interesting test, some of the questions are really strange though.

I scored low on everything except for narccissistic, I got moderate for that one Embarassed

It is a bit of a bollocks quiz though.

Okay, so I looked up Schizoid:

Schizoid Personality Disorder
What is Schizoid Personality Disorder?
Quick Summary:
People with schizoid personality disorder avoid relationships and do not show much emotion. This could NOT be further from the truth in my case! Unlike avoidants, schizoids genuinely prefer to be alone (again this is NOT true about me) and do not secretly wish for popularity. They tend to seek jobs that require little social contact (OMG, that is soooo NOT true for me). Their social skills are often weak and they do not show a need for attention or acceptance (wait a minute here, just because I don't show a "need" for attention or acceptance doesn't make my social skills weak. Maybe people seek ME out and if they don't it's their LOSS). They are perceived by others as humorless and distant and often are termed "loners." HAHAHA, haven't been deemed to be lacking in the humor department for as long as I can remember. I'm usually the brave practical joker. Uh yeah, I'd rather be a loner than associated with BAD company any day. "Birds of a feather flock together."
Symptoms of Schizoid Personality Disorder:
Weak interpersonal skills --- Rolling Eyes
Difficulty expressing anger, even when provoked Twisted Evil NOT MY PROBLEM. DON'T even think about making me angry because I'll let you have it.
"Loner" mentality; avoidance of social situations - NO NO, I'm usually the one people drag around to go places or I ask to be dragged around.
Appear to others as remote, aloof, and unengaged - I have never in my life had anyone accuse me of being this way.
Low sexual desire - AW, comeon now this is getting way too personal to discuss here. That's NONE of your business.
Unresponsive to praise or criticism - Maybe I have a VERY high self esteem okay!
Additional Information:
It is important to distinguish schizoid from avoidant. Avoidants will feel anxiety in social situations and have the desire to fit in, while schizoids simply prefer to be alone. It is occassionally difficult to distinguish between schizoid and Asperger's, as well.

This disorder is diagnosed more frequently and is often more severe among males. Schizoids usually do not seek treatment on their own and are often coaxed into it by a loved one.

My only "highs" were narcissistic and obsessive-compulsive.

My only "lows" were antisocial, borderline and dependent.

The rest were surprising "moderate" (I think I used to be more paranoid-schizoid when I used drugs in my pre-bhakti yoga daze...)

Lemonade, that's a perfect description of me!
Could they have sent you my scores by mistake?

Very High for Narcissistic but low or medium for everything else.

I hate the questions, "Do your friends think you are..."
Everyone that I hang out with on a regular basis have their own mental problems. If my ultra-sheltered friends think I am flamboyant because I used to have a ponytail, should I base answers on that?

This is the third online personality test I've taken. I guess this one says I'm a narcissist. The other tests have called me "capitalist pig" and "mastermind."

All low to moderate. I'm surprised, maybe I cheated. Is this a scientology test?
