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.

tribdog said:
neither did. And I didn't either.

Yay! I got 100%.

Okay, what are you hiding? :biggrin:

I'll take that as a compliment.

Oh! I think I'll start printing up T-shirts for the next fair:

I'm Schizotypal
That means I think differently.
In other words:
Stay Away from Me!
I'm Crazy!

I'll make one for Integral too.

Some are floating Mel Gibson's supposed bipolar disorder as an explanation for his abusive rants, raising the question, when is an ******* just an *******?

I may be crazy, but I don't think anyone see's me as being an *******.

I'll skip the name tag.

(but that was funny. :smile:)



******* = donkey orifice.
Just in case there was any doubt

So seriously though... I only got 1 low.. I got 6 highs, 2 of which where 'very high', and 3 moderate.. According to this test I'm pretty f***ed up, apparently I have some of everything except 'Histrionic'.

Should I consider seeing a psychologist?
I doubt I would anyway.. I mainly just ask to see if you guys think this test is reliable at all, or should I not be worried?
I mean, I've pretty much always known I was a bit screwed up, but I thought it was more or less close to average, but I'm like twice as bad as anyone else on here.

It's not reliable, not even close.

But that might be just my schizotypal side talking :-p.

Yeah, even if you scored high on a professional test from a skull-jockey, it's just a tool for the skull-jockey, it doesn't have the final say.

People can be schizotypal, paranoid, and moody without having a schizotypal disorder, a paranoia disorder, or a mood disorder.

Bottom line, being schizotypal is not the same as having schyzotypal disorder. Same with having an ateention defecit, or being hyper-active, or being depressed or manic.

Having a disorder does not rest on the type of behavior alone, it largely rests on the distress it causes you and people around you, and how your ability to function normally is affected.

If you're not in distress (or causing distress in the case of sociopaths), and you're functioning normally, then you're just weird or eccentric.
