I was reviewing a diary today, and I stumbled upon a lovely little personality test.

I answered the questions truthfully, ready for the door to be broken down by the nice men in white coats the moment my results appeared on the screen.

Here's what THE TEST says about me.

Disorder Rating

Paranoid: Low

Schizoid: Low

Schizotypal: Low

Antisocial: Low

Borderline: Low

Histrionic: High

Narcissistic: High

Avoidant: Low

Dependent: Low

Obsessive-Compulsive: Moderate

Here's what it means. I copied this directly from the test site.

I would like to mention that I had to go through this and correct several spelling errors before pasting this on my page.

Histrionic

People with histrionic personality disorder are constant attention seekers. They need to be the center of attention all the time, often interrupting others in order to dominate the conversation. They use grandiose language to describe everyday events and seek constant praise. They may dress provocatively or exaggerate illnesses in order to gain attention. They also tend to exaggerate friendships and relationships, believing that everyone loves them. They are often manipulative.

Narcissistic

Narcissistic personality disorder is characterized by self-centeredness. Like histrionic disorder, people with this disorder seek attention and praise. They exaggerate their achievements, expecting others to recongize them as being superior. They tend to be choosy about picking friends, since they believe that not just anyone is worthy of being their friend. They tend to make good first impressions, yet have difficulty maintaining long-lasting relationships. They are generally uninterested in the feelings of others and may take advantage of them.

Obsessive-Compulsive

Obsessive-Compulsive personality disorder is similar to obsessive-compulsive anxiety disorder. People with this disorder are overly focused on orderliness and perfection. Their need to do everything "right" often interferes with their productivity. They tend to get caught up in the details and miss the bigger picture. They set unreasonably high standards for themselves and others, and tend to be very critical of others when they do not live up to these high standards. They avoid working in teams, believing others to be too careless or incompetent. They avoid making decisions because they fear making mistakes and are rarely generous with their time or money. They often have difficulty expressing emotion.

I TAKE TOTAL OFFENSE TO THIS!

I AM MORE THAN MODERATELY OBSESSIVE COMPULSIVE, DAMMIT!
