I have had around 10 traffic violations 2 of which were alcohol related. The last of which were 3 years ago which was a parking violation. The last alcohol violation was over 6 years ago. Since college I have gained two degrees, been married and divorced to someone that had a history of cheating and cheated on me. I feel the divorce was justified, and I still talk to her with dwindling animosity. I have been pretty successful in any material undertakings, jobs, etc...I am not overly hostile, quick to anger, sometimes I feel the need to prove myself, but not all the time. I have stopped any pattern of traffic violations (even though my left blinker is currently burned out and I have not replaced it).

All major traffic violations occurred between 18 and 24. I am 30 now (parking violation in 2002). I am seeking a job with the federal government and am be assessed for anti-social personality disorder as a part of a medical clearance. I have never considered myself to have any type of personality disorder, but I guess if you have the problem you may not know. I have considered my driving record to be a problem of immaturity and the thrill of driving fast cars, bikes...etc. I never thought it would be viewed as a disorder. I guess repeated violations of speeding and alcohol related offenses (DUI) during that time of my life could be viewed as a personality disorder, but I'm not sure. I can say one thing, this process of receiving a medical clearance makes me feel like I do have a disorder of some sort. Since this has delayed my hiring and I have over 3 years of time invested into attaining this job I feel depressed, overly concerned with it, I feel that if I don’t get the job I have no idea what I'll do, so I feel hopeless, especially if I am refused a clearance for having a personality disorder!

What do you guys think, disorder or a matter of immaturity?

Confused,
