Hi Izzy,
I wasn't flippant about what you wrote. I do too score an intermediate schizoid and schizotypical and I use to score intermediate histrionic too but somehow in the meantime I gave up the romantic fantasies... So I am more a basketcase than you are
The comments I wrote were copied and pasted from the test site - there were too, one of them with true or false too.
I am sorry if I sounded flippant again.
I guess what I really meant was don't just stay at labeling yourself...

hi Rania,
Oh no. I never once thought you were being flippant! I laugh at myself a lot, if people feed me the right straight lines.
Oh wow! You are schizoid, too?
I didn't pick up on that, as I took one test where Paranoid is (always?) at the top of the list and the rest followed in average percentages, and with my percentages. For the first time I noticed schzoid was high ranking, but left it alone--never knew it was me, 'til now and (it's been a long time) but Paranoid was at the top of the list, not rank ... last time too, so...well I have my share of paranoia... and took it to be my answer and dismissed it.
This is best I've felt about myself since....well, forget the since!
Thanks

Ya, those kinds of answers help don't they Iz?
If a person knows there's a name for something... that just might really apply to them... it helps point a person in a better direction of "what can I do about it now", right? The thing is, to remember that the description of tendencies and habits isn't a life sentence - and we're waaaaaaay more complex and able to change over our lifetimes - and of course, that's never included in these tests or descriptions.
I just read, by way of example, that a lot of $$$ was spent on a study that determined that teenagers could actually raise their IQ by actively studying and taking tests on their understanding of the material. In other words - educating themselves made them smarter. Well DUH... I thought this was basic assumption behind all educational theory!! Time on task & all that. Practice makes perfect... Yeah, I know it was also assumed that people had one range of IQ the duration of their lives, too. But it's like folks missed the neuroscience connection between those two assumptions, to me: when a part of the brain is exercised repeatedly... the skill-level gets better and more automatic and will eventually impact other related brain tasks... which is generally described as "smarter".
I do think that what we are at birth... and the FOO situation we're born into... is just the basic of box crayolas - raw material - and what we create with that is up to us. Some of us just take longer and fuss over the details more than others.
I didn't always think this, tho.
