Those tests aren't valid. They don't work and they just end up scaring people or fulfilling self-fulfilling prophesies. If you really have questions, talk to a mental health professional.



I just did that test, in fact I did it twice. The first time I put in the answers that I feel are true today ( I got pretty average readings) and then I did It answering the questions as I would have done 3 years ago. The second time I got high percentages for borderline, schizotypal, schizoid and dependant. It so happens that 3 years ago my diagnosis was major depression and borderline personality disorder.

Doctors will say that personality disorders don't 'get better' they are there for life, yet they also say that now I don't have ANY of the symptoms of borderline personality. In fact, they admit that their diagnosis was completely wrong. My point is, that state of mind and mental illnesses like depression and anxiety can give the illusion (in these sort of tests) of illness where there is none. The chances that you actually have all or any of these personality disorders is slim. If you have any symptoms that particularly bother you (paranoia for instance) then see someone about that symptom. Don't stress yourself about these results; it's not worth it!



Well, first of all, online test are usually made for fun, even if they aren't they probably aren't 100% accurate. Don't stress. But if it's bothering you, you can talk to a doctor about it.



its better that if you check with doctors.
