I took a online test I'm wondering what Disorder I might have any ideas?

Nothing. Those online tests are meant to be fun.. NOT a diagnostic tool. Besides your results are false. Everyone has traits of personality disorders because they are normal traits taken to an extreme that is unhealthy or debilitating. It is normal to want to have a bit of alone time, it is not normal to want to be alone ALL of the time (Schizoid PD). It is normal to be a little nervous when meeting a bunch or new people but it is not normal to be unable to leave your home because you fear speaking to anyone (Avoidant Pd). It is normal to be a bit paranoid while walking down a dark alley late at night, not normal to think your family is plotting against you (Paranoid PD). Normal to have self esteem, not normal to believe you are the most special person in the world (Narcissistic). It is not a disorder unless the traits are extreme and debilitating.

In addition, some of these disorders are the opposite of each other.. for example Schizoids do not want to be around people at all.. ever.. they are EXTREMELY independent. Someone with Dependent PD can not make decisions without the help of other people... you can not be both..... If you score high in Schizoid you will score very low in dependent (I am Schizoid, I have taken the real PD test (the MMPI) and I scored 98 on Schizoid and 8 on dependent). On the MMPI (which is 750 questions and can only be administered by a psychologist or psychiatrist) you score between 0 and 100 on the different trait clusters... 50 would be perfectly average. 30 to 70 are considered normal. 70 to 90 are considered "having traits of" whatever disorder. And above 90 would be diagnosed as a disorder. But even so, it is not a disorder unless you are unable to live a normal life because of your disorder.

That test you took is not worth crap... the question is.... Are you in distress? Do you have behaviors, thoughts, or feelings that make it difficult to function? If yes, then go see a doctor. If not then get over it and get on with life. And if you do have issues and refuse to see a doctor then deal with it and get on with life....
