I don’t think it’s a very accurate test. Like most humans, I have my share of insanities, but I don’t think the test correctly identified them. Bakerina, are you really schizoid, avoidant, and obsessive-compulsive? You hide it very well. Here’s what I got:

Disorder | Rating
Paranoid: Low
Schizoid: Moderate
Schizotypal: Low
Antisocial: Low
Borderline: Low
Histrionic: Low
Narcissistic: Low
Avoidant: Moderate
Dependent: Low
Obsessive-Compulsive: High

read it and weep, babe, that test’s got you dead to rights.  and since free will counts for nothing, well, you might as well sit on your sofa and do nothing for the rest of your life.

i had a (whacknut) friend who was shopping for a psychiatrist, doing a bunch of introductory sessions with several different docs.  one, supposedly of high repute, told her (after fifteen minutes of talking): obviously you will never graduate from college.  the best you can hope for is to be in and out of institutions for the rest of your life.” amazing, isn’t it, how insightful modern psychiatry can be…

The only one that gave me any play was “histrionic,” and that one was only moderate. Odd, because I answered quite a few questions “yes.” I suspect I am a tiny bit of every kind of crazy.

Say, do you feel that you use baking/cooking to get approval? I know for sure I do. I always want to be the center of attention at potlucks and parties. I asked my significant other about it and he said, “People would invite you to their parties anyway.” Well, yeah, but pies and samosas make me *special.* And without them, I would be just another girl standing in the corner who secretly suspects her hair/skin/thighs look awful.

Tvindy, you flatter me.  I am just plain bonkers, as both orionoir and Snowball can vouch.  Actually, I was surprised to see that I scored moderate on schizotypic; I think it’s because I said that people sometimes have trouble following my train of thought.  (I have a bad habit of assuming I’ve had conversations with people when I actually haven’t, which, as you can imagine, Lloyd just *loves*.) I’m also scratching my head on the histrionic, as thinking that everybody loves me has never, ever been a problem as far as I know. Ah, well.

Michael, thank you as always for your input.  I think.  I believe you’ve told me about this friend before:  is this the really brilliant one, the one who could read Faulkner while working out, the one with the near-spoon-bending mind?

Jamie, we are peas in a pod, except that I’m much crazier than you are.  I can’t deny it:  I am a total approval-via-baked-goods junkie, and am likewise convinced that without the baked goods, I would be just another dysmorphic girl.  Of course, even though I understand how you feel, I am sure that everyone finds you beautiful and compelling and fun, and would even without the pie and samosas.

(Are there any samosas left? 

I’m very high on avoidant, but also high on histrionic and paranoid.  Crap.  Stop talking about me!!!

Well, it’s official.  Even the internet thinks I’m fucking nuts, baby.

I’m high on obsessive-compulsive. Um, have I previewed this comment? Once more, just to make sure.
