| Yes but i dont think you mean schizophrenia, the test doesnt say anything about it, probably schizoid or schizotypal | |

| Does anyone know how schizoid got its name? Why does it sound so similar to schizophrenia if they arent related? | |

Schizoid only share a few traits and otherwise has nothing to do with it, but schizotypal apparently is a mild schizophrenia. Or something. And afaik name-wise, all the psychologists just put letters together until they get a pseudoword they like lol. |

| What i've seen is Schizoid people just live their lives normally, without the hassles of other's interferance, whilst Schizotypal people are more down to the fact they perceive things a lot differently, and somewhat weirder, than others. | |

| Yea that is true too but from what I understand the weird perception of things is what causes the social problems in the first p | |
