Personality Disorder Test Results

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.

oh, and i should mention that i ran across this on shreena's blog, who is a follower. i'm not quite sure why she is (because almost nobody reads this blog, including easily-bored I), but much appreciated neverthless. (i hope it wasn't an accident =D). also, i hereby publicly confess my love for chick flicks and romance. general angry emo appearance of this blog aside, there is a girly girl here, playing dress-up, putting on make-up, and smudging said make-up when there's a sad scene in a movie on. i cook, bake, sing, dance, do crafts, giggle, and thoroughly and enjoy cutting people's hair. but that could just be the scissors, knives, and general abundance of sharp edges. shhh.
