Personality Disorder

July 24, 2002

Well, Yay. Glen’s taken a personality test that tells him just how screwed up he is, and (according to the test) he’d make some psychologist’s career.

Here’s how bad off I am:

Of course, one interesting thing to notice is that this diagnostic test uses only a few questions to see how high at risk you are for ten different personality disorders, any one of which could affect the readings of the others. For example, if I am Narcissistic I am likely to answer most of the questions in a fashion that puts me in better light, even if I am trying to be honest. Whereas the “Avoidant” personality probably doesn’t give him or herself enough credit.

Heaven help me, I’m both.

Well, I’ll resist the urge to go out and get perscriptions for all the psychotropic drugs I can get my hands on.
