Personality Disorder Test...how do you stack up?

[Thunderwolf]

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?

Man I am all screwed up. :trout:

Disorder | Rating

Paranoid: High

Schizoid: High

Schizotypal: Moderate

Antisocial: High

Borderline: Very High

Histrionic: High

Narcissistic: Very High

Avoidant: High

Dependent: High

Obsessive-Compulsive: High

Guess I may consider liking to be around others moderately, just don't want to socialize with them because the are not as good as I am, they may want what I need and get in the way of my handwashing.:monkeydance:

Low on everything, high on Histrionic... sadly, seeing as Im an MHA on 3 psych units, I shoudl have already known this

That link wont work for me - I get an error page - just me?

[Thunderwolf, MSN, RN]

Nope, no problem here.

I just checked and the link opens OK.

[Diary/Dairy, RN]

Wow - I'm more messed up than I thought!

I scored Moderate on 9!!!!!!!! and High on one - Avoidant - which I already knew because I have social anxiety disorder.......I don;t take anything though...I want to try and work on these things on my own...

Perhaps I should reconsider medication!

[sarmedic70]

OMH...........just took the test..................uh oh...........he, he, he..................

[Atheos]

Is this test accurate? I hope not...

[sarmedic70]

Yeah, me too...........hope it is not accurate........he, he, he..............or else I have one heck of a messed up being here................he, he, he.............:-)

I scored low on everything. However, I took the test for my daughter answering questions as how I see her. I was surprised at the results. It said that she was anti-social which I don't see. I have diagnosed her with borderline, but according to the test she is more histrionic than borderline. But, I think all borderlines are histrionic. Psychatrist has diagnosed her as bipolar in the past. I see her all the time, and I see "borderline". That is my diagnosis and I'm sticking to it.

Oh well, test was interesting!

[sarmedic70]

It was most definitely a very interesting "test". Even though I answered "no" on so many, they showed up in the "diagnosis" of the results of those I answered yes to............chuckles................ It is like the MN Multiphasic Personality Test my state police recruit class had to take several years ago (we were the first). Yes/No questions..........and you had to answer every one of them.............some were gender specific, but yet...........I actually laughed through the entire test.........how the heck could I aactually answer that without be a "damned if you do/damned if you don't":angryfire........my TO thought I was "nuts" ...............well, I guess I am now after taking this other "test"..........he, he, he...................

Have a great day everybody!
