Mental Health Status Report

[queerbychoice]

I finally took the personality disorder test. The instructions say, "Low or moderate ratings mean that you are unlikely to have the disorder. High or very high means you are more likely to have the disorder." Here are my results:

Paranoid: Low
Schizoid: Moderate
Schizotypal: Low
Antisocial: Low
Borderline: Low
Histrionic: Low
Narcissistic: Low
Avoidant: Low
Dependent: Low
Obsessive-Compulsive: Low

I haven't seen anyone else on LiveJournal with anywhere near such low scores. Now I'm concerned about the collective mental health of LiveJournal users. Did LJ do it to them? If I stay on LJ for as long as they have, will I end up just like them?

Actually I'd better stay then. Right now it looks like I'm so overly healthy that I'm in danger of being boring.

ooh, I want a narcissistic tendency!

that's even more mundane-sounding than a schizoid tendncy, actually. schizoid has a freakier ring to it. though I only achieved it by saying I prefer to be alone a lot and avoid social interaction, and I find it hard to relate to a lot of people.

:) but it sounds so glamorous, you can go out the the mall and get the newest Urban Decay nail colors and cheer yourself up a bit.

normal is good. normal is good. normal is good. and sweets, with the rest of amerika stacked against you, normal is very very good.

er, "normal" is one thing that I (thankfully) have not yet been accused of being. "normal" and "healthy" are two entirely, completely separate concepts that should definitely not be confused. "normal" by definition means "what most people are," and as you said yourself, most people in amerika are definitely not healthy.

urban decay nail colors? what on earth is the color of urban decay? I'm not at all sure it would be the kind of thing that any sane person would want on their nails (and after all, we've just been discussing how sane and mentally healthy I am) but I'd certainly be interested to know what the color looks like.

by the way, does Spaceboy still hang around in BowieNet chat these days? talking about nail colors reminded me of him.
