Test Note: Read the descriptions below to avoid misinterpreting test results (for example, the
Antisocial classification does not mean you are a loner, it means you tend to be insensitive
towards others).
General Note: the validity and reliability of personality disorders are still lacking in strong
statistical evidence and clear agreement in the scientific and medical community.
Author Note:I don't think Schizoid personality is a valid disorder (read), some of the smartest
people in history were schizoid because they occupied a remote end of the intelligence bell
curve. Schizotypal personality can encompass highly original thinkers as well as totally insane
people so I think it's a flawed type. I think the remaining eight disorders are generally valid.
