I don't know where those people are coming from who publish web sites with 'tests' on 'personality disorders', or those who link their pages or posts to them without critical commentary.

The answers we give may be describing sane and wholesome reactions based on where we are coming from at the moment.

Conditions based on the constitution and development should always be identified BEFORE any 'personality disorders' are looked for.

In such cases a 'personality disorder' is sometimes at most the provisional outcome of poor adaptations to one's condition, and true diagnosis and appropriate support can lead to improvement by middle age.

We owe it to ourselves and those around us to create an atmosphere of affirmation and not make it look like the done thing to be negative, e.g by giving web site links without accompanying critical commentary.
