Curiouser and curiouser said Alice ...

I'd actually agree with a fair bit of it too. I often think people are talking about me when they're not and because my confidence level can skyrocket or plummet, I often think they're talking about me in a negative. Hence the paranoid results ...

I can bounce between high confidence and depression, which is where the Schizotypal comes in. If my confidence is high, I firmly believe I can do everything I put my mind to and will nut my way through that brick wall whatever it takes. However, if my confidence is low, then I have problems getting myself to do anything and I become unable to handle the various long term injuries I have. Sometimes I switch between confidence and depression like a light switch and it can usually takes a trigger to get me back on form again. However, because I'm very bad at telling people when I have a weakness (I almost always lie when people ask if I'm well), I can't tell them I'm not too happy.

Avoidant comes from the disparity between my intelligence in technical areas and a lack of ability to keep up with conversations. I'm often 10 seconds or so behind a conversation and tend to get quiet, which makes me feel left out. Other times though, you can't keep me quiet. However, with the concentration and focus level I put into the WoW stuff, I'm often putting up a running commentary without really realising it !

Finally, Obsessive Compulsive - aye, I got that for sure. I have extreme trouble throwing things out and get locked into patterns. I have lots of habits like still putting my right batting glove on before my left, even though it's more awkward to do it that way. I develop patterns of doing things because I believe I've figured out that the way I have is the most efficient. I have difficulty understanding how other people do things differently sometimes. My analytical abilities also let me pick up other people's faults easily, which is one reason I've had trouble keeping quiet over the last couple of days Warcraft ... (things got messy yesterday) And most importantly, I have difficulty accepting the necessity of change, even though change is for the best.

Interesting test this one and it has enough questions on it to get some decent granularity of results. Not sure if I've learnt much about myself than I knew before but posting it here may help people understand me better :-)
