Some people are like Slinkies . . . not really good for anything, but you still can't help but smile when you see one tumble down the stairs.

The Very High Stuff:

Schizoid:
People with schizoid personality disorder avoid relationships and do not show much emotion. They genuinely prefer to be alone and do not secretly wish for popularity. They tend to seek jobs that require little social contact. Their social skills are often weak and they do not show a need for attention or acceptance. They are perceived as humorless and distant and often are termed "loners."

Schizotypal:
Many believe that schizotypal personality disorder represents mild schizophrenia. The disorder is characterized by odd forms of thinking and perceiving, and individuals with this disorder often seek isolation from others. They sometimes believe to have extra sensory ability or that unrelated events relate to them in some important way. They generally engage in eccentric behavior and have difficulty concentrating for long periods of time. Their speech is often over elaborate and difficult to follow.

I noticed we all have very high Schizotypal tendencies, and I'm wondering why.

I think that's because of forums such as this one that tends to draw us away from actual people, and in towards "teh internet".

Oh yea, good one there, Dark Shade, HTML is obviously not allowed.  :roll:

Wouldn't that put us closer to avoidant or antisocial? Schizotypal seems to peg us a little closer to mildly insane rather than general dislike of others or hanging out with others.

Then again, mild insanity may help drive us away from social scenarios.

I always thought Lacerda was a little weird, in an "other than bad" kinda way, sorta.  I wonder what his scores would look like.

Good lord!  Am I the only sane one here.  My results were "Low" across the board.  I have no idea what I did to get those ratings, but it works for me.  

Guess I'll just stay here... by myself... alone... with nobody else here...

Stupid test!

Oh ho, apparently I am quite the narcissist, and am also schizotypal and avoidant. Oh yeah, and I'm a praise whore too (i.e. histrionic).

It exaggerates a lot, but the test is basically correct.

Questions like "do you often feel helpless and depressed?" and "do you fear losing someone close to you?" are what lead me to believe that this test and its results are not really to be taken seriously.

Who DOESN'T fear losing someone close to them, and who DOESN'T feel helpless or depressed sometimes (most people who are relatively "normal", who have never actually felt clinicially depressed don't really know the meaning of the word)?

Who DOESN'T feel socially unaccepted sometimes?  Who DOESN'T get anxious about new situations?  Who DOESN'T feel inadequate sometimes?  Who DOESN'T take criticism personally?

Honestly, the only questions in there that apply in any real sense to most people are the "do you steal things from people or stores", "Have you ever been in jail or done something that you could be put in jail for", and other questions like that.

Feeling inadequate, emotionally attached to others, feeling helpless, socially unaccepted, anxious, or angry is part of being human.

It's when you let it rule every single aspect of your whole life that you might have some kind of disorder.

Most of you guys are probably just fine.  Not that you're all taking this seriously or anything, but it takes a shrink with some letters behind his name to determine whether or not one has a personality disorder, and sometimes they don't even know what they're talking about (believe me, I know... my mom's a friggin basketcase).  One can't effectively do this with a 50 question internet quiz....


BTW, it said I was "paranoid".... tell me something I don't know... :roll:

I probably wouldn't be so paranoid if ALL YOU FUCKERS WEREN'T OUT TO GET ME ALL THE TIME!!!!!!!!!!

Quite well said Demosthenes, for such an unimportant topic. I tried to communicate much the same thing with the tone of my last post, but it didn't come across as well as that.

"things like that are part of being HUMAN."

Hah, I love it!

Lying is part of human nature, too!

I mean, I don't think there is one human being that has NEVER told a lie in their life before. To say that you have never lied would be a lie within itself.
