That was interesting. I just tried that personality test too. Here are my results:
Disorder | Rating
Paranoid: High
Schizoid: Moderate
Schizotypal: High
Antisocial: Low
Borderline: Very High
Histrionic: High
Narcissistic: Moderate
Avoidant: Very High
Dependent: High
Obsessive-Compulsive: High

I find that I have to be careful with tests like this because it's too easy to convince myself that I'm so much worse than I am - no matter what the test is for. I have been diagnosed with dependend and avoidant personality disorders. I wouldn't have said that I had this many personality disorders or to this extent though.

Personality disorders are Axis II, and lots of people have them but don't need to do anything about it (as in therapy, etc.) because it doesn't cause a significant problem for them, but some people have more of a problem with it than others do.
