When I check to see what avoidant disorder is, it asks me if I'm looking for a date for the weekend.

By the way, I'm definitely not an Oregonian. I'm only 75% Coloradan, but 85% Ohian. I should move to Wisconsin - I'm 95% Wisconsinite - but, then, it's pretty easy to be a Wisconsinite - just drink beer.

The obsessive-compulsive rating is generated quite cleverly, by asking:
Do you have obsessive-compulsive disorder?

Maybe they base the rating on how many times you click "Yes" or "No"...

that's a good one. I think, but then according to the test I don't have a sense of humor because of my high schizoid rating.
 
neither did. And I didn't either.

Yay! I got 100%.

Why does it say that I should get rid of any weapons and seek help immediately?

This is what did me in. The first time I was honest and said yes. This time I lied and said no.

And everyone knows that people that lie are healthier emotionally than people that are always honest. Being honest about your personality disorders is always depressing and depression results in developing personality disorders.

(And everyone knows blondes think about this kind of stuff more often than anyone else, which is why they get so dizzy.)

Schitzotypal is a personality disorder associated with paypal.

Or else it's a synonym for INTJ.

I'm not sure which.

We can discus that as long as you don't consider second opinions
