Found this interesting test where it lays it out nicely. How high of a risk (low, moderate, high) are you in matching with current personality disorders? Gives a break down for you after you take the test, as well as providing a description of each disorder if you need to read more.
Questions TO ASK YOURSELF after seeing your profile:
1. If you are a nurse, how has this impacted your career and relationships?
2. As a nurse/student nurse interested in going into psychiatric nursing, can you perceive some difficulties for yourself depending on your profile risk? Is psychiatric nursing STILL a good option for you? Would you cause more harm than good?
3. After reading your profile, do your career and relationship difficulties seem to make a little more sense now?
I guess because people who lie all the time tend to do it to other people. It isn't necessary to reveal the answers of this test to anyone else, so why would they answer these questions dishonestly?
I was referring to the diagnoses of borderline, narsissistic, or anti-social. These people don't think they have a problem or think too much of themselves, so I don't see them answering the questions honestly even if no one saw them--they are in denial.
I'm just overly sensitive because pretty soon I'm gonna have to have someone I know take one of these tests and if this is how it's worded, then there is no way it's gonna be accurate.

Yes, I see what you mean. I guess under those circumstances, the results could be somewhat inaccurate. I'm sure when you take these tests, though, they'll be administered by professionals trained to do so and in interpreting the results. These Internet tests really are ''for entertainment purposes'' only. Otherwise, I'd be very concerned about my results, rofl!
