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?

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.

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...................
