I took this reputable test to see what I'd score for personality disorder, and the following is my result but it doesn't seem to make much sense . . .:

Personality Disorder Test Results

Paranoid |||||||||||||| 54%
Schizoid |||||||||||||| 60%
Schizotypal |||||||||||||||| 62%
Antisocial |||||||||||||| 51%
Borderline |||||||||||||| 52%
Histrionic |||||||||||||| 53%
Narcissistic ||||||| 37%
Avoidant |||||||||||| 50%
Dependent |||||||||||||| 51%
Obsessive-Compulsive |||||||||||||||| 65%
(source: http://similarminds.com/personality_disorder.html )

~ It goes into detail, desribing/explaining what each type means. I know it means that I fall into the range for basically all- but how can I mostly be described by each by over 50%? I really must be going nuts afterall. . . .

Never trust internet tests.

Aside from the fact that they tend to ask very stereotyped questions you need to factor in that self reporting is very subjective. You are going to do better when in a good man than in a bad mood.

Some questions also require a whole lot of introspection that most people don't have.

If you are truly worried have a chat with your health care provider. These tests should mostly just be considered an amusing sideline.
Thanks for this!

For comparison/example/amusement value/whatever else here are my results:

Paranoid: 76%
Schizoid: 61%
Schizotypal: 40%
Antisocial: 53%
Borderline: 65%
Histrionic: 61%
Narcissistic: 33%
Avoidant: 94%
Dependent: 83%
Obsessive-compulsive: 38%

So as you can see I'm in a pretty similar boat to you. Take into account that officially I am borderline with narcissistic traits and it puts this test even more in doubt.
Thanks for this!
