As I'm waiting for a new diagnosis and I'm dealing with some aspects of my personality that I don't like, I gave the test a try.
They stress on the idea that you have to answer the questions according to the way you percive your life now, nor the past.

Anyway, I'm still surprised that my level of extraversion is balanced, but I understand it up to a point considering than I'm moré open up people as before.

Then, the negative traits are the following:

Concienciousness
You scored average for this trait, suggesting you're somewhere between being well-organized and sometimes distracted.

Neuroticism

You scored really high on this trait, suggesting you're more emotional and more insecure than others.

My question is: Can a person with a personality disorder change along the time?
Are some people using the label of their disorders as a kind of justification for their behaviours and they reject the possibility to change or improve?

Which one is your experience?

Its my understanding that the personality disorder never goes away, but you can change and manage the behaviors associated with the disorder.

As far as people using the label, I have seen it go both ways. I see a lot of people that are high functioning because they seek help and work on managing themselves, while others are quick to embrace the illness as an excuse.
