People with avoidant personality disorder want to be social but are afraid that they can't. Antisocial personality disorder should have been called something else, as the name of it is misleading. They often have very high social functioning, but they don't care about following the rules of society. I would have scored higher on that one, but on the question where they asked if you have ever been in jail I decided that the reason I was there (and for only two hours) was not what they meant and put no.
The questions ask about things that are listed as symptoms of the various personality disorders, but it's value for diagnosis I don't think is really that great. If you actually look at the DSM criteria, someone has to meet a certain number of the criteria in order to be diagnosed, and this test just takes an inventory of all the traits and rates you based on how many of them show up. I scored "very high" under borderline, for example, but I don't meet enough of the criteria to have that diagnosis, although I do have two or three of the traits (the minimum is five according to the DSM). So, you really can't say that you have all of those personality disorders on the basis of this test. Does that help?
