I was completely honest with all of the answers that I gave and it yielded the following results:

Paranoid - Very high
Schizoid - High
Schizotypal - Very high
Antisocial - High
Borderline - Very high
Histrionic - High
Narcissistic - High
Avoidant - Very high
Dependant - High
Obsessive Compulsive - High

Where do I go from here? I'm reluctant to see a Doctor about whatever issues I may be having as it being on record would destroy any chances of me getting a job.

Anybody?

Most of us that stay here have High or very High in many categories ... I don't know where to go from here, I've been trying to find my own way. it's healthier and better to go to a doctor/psychiatrist, but if you dont want to go or cant go to one, I think it's okay if it doesn't affect your daily life enough to mess your whole life.

Borderline would be the one to watch carefully there. Though each and every one of these can alter day to day life if serious enough. But like Fantasy said, if it doesn't mess with you too much, you can get away with out seeing a doctor :)

I did one of these tests recently and proved to have all but the narsistic pd. I wouldn't take to much notice. its about how you feel and how you re coping. if you are not coping though i would advise that you at least talk to some one - maybe a friend -maybe a doctor. hope you keep well. x x x

I truly understand your concern, as well. It wasn't until my last failed relationship that I realized that hey maybe I'm the one with the problem. I took this test and know without a doubt that i'm borderline. I don't physically do anything to harm myself. It's more emotional. I put myself down constantly. I pretend that I have a lot of confidence because that's what people like to see, but the truth is I have very little self worth. I think just like any other problem, recognizing it is the first step. I've thought a lot about the best approach to begin to manage this problem, is to keep a journal. Find out when you have your best times and when you have your worst. I've started this and truly believe if there is any consistency on which i'm 'over emotional' then I'll be able to handle it better. Kind of like just being prepared for it. Maybe even avoiding certain situations during this period of time. This is really the best strategy I've come up with so far. If anyone has anything to offer, I'd sure appreciate it.
