As if you needed more evidence that I was weird…
I don’t think I ever posted this to my blog, but it’s good for amusement, if nothing else… I’m not sure narcissistic personality disorder fits to the extent the test claims– I don’t exactly seek attention and praise or exaggerate my achievements, and although I am choosy about picking friends, it’s mainly because my personality is just so weird— but the descriptions of schizotypal and avoidant personality disorders are a bit too close for comfort! 🙂

I scored highly on schizoid, schizotypal and obsessive-compulsive, not surprising since odd thinking and behaviour patterns, decreased sociability and insistance on sameness are common in aspies, and I’m an aspie. But schizotypal is one that is actually very different from autism spectrum conditions, which cause improved logical reasoning and poor social skills, And sometimes lead to odd beliefs, but schizotypal is more “magical” illogical thinking where they are mildly delusional.
