I had some 'high' scores on this... Im hoping it's just cause things
are a little out of balance for me these days. Or... maybe I am just
a little psycho?
Brian
inky
Yeah, Brian, you're psycho.
Me too. I just took it, i'm "very high" on schizotypal. "moderate" to "high"
on everything else - except "low" on narcissistic and anti-social.
So i guess i'm a crazy eccentric person who believes in ghosts and
aliens and thinks she's ugly and likes other people more than herself. :-)
That's not so bad!

Honestly, there's something to be said for boring.

Does planting grass seed count as a wild and crazy activity? How about
balancing the bank statement? I've got it, I'll go to bed early with a good
book - and crank the electric blanket control ALL THE WAY UP!

With the last, you remind me of a character in a book. I forget
the title, but the author is Sarah Caudwell. In it, one of the
characters is slipped a drug that removes inhibitions. She pulls
a Jane Austen novel out of her purse and starts reading.
Fun books (Caudwell, that is; I'm not a big Austen fan, though some
are ok. Even then 'fun' isn't the word I'd use.).

Brings up the old question, are you paranoid if they really
are out to get you?
Suzanne
I don't like this!
Paranoid: Low
Schizoid: Moderate
Schizotypal: Moderate
Antisocial: Low
Borderline: Moderate
Histrionic: Low
Narcissistic: Moderate
Avoidant: Moderate
Dependent: Very High
Obsessive-Compulsive: Low
These are pretty skewered, if I must say so myself. I put that I like to
stay at home, versus being in social situations, so now I'm a schizoid,
and that I thought I had extra-sensory abilities, thinking about woman's
intuition, so now I'm schizophrenic.
But, but, but...I'm very high for being dependent. No shock there!

Obsessive Compulsive. I scored VERY HIGH in the Dependent category. But

then one day the one thing happened I used to obsess about, then I stopped

reminded me of that movie too, can't remember the name, it had Mel Gibson
and Julia Roberts in it, he was supposed to be crazy paranoid but it was
all true.

I like that movie! I've seen it about three times now.

I was thinking along similar terms....I would like to have any prospective

A lot of those questions seem to have to do with our perception of ourselves,
and not necessarily how we might seem to another person.
Casey
Hmmm... a good liar could easily make himself look pretty good.
Geez, if I can get all "lows" anyone should be able to.

Much of those scores hinge on definitions of vague words
(I worry a _lot_ about ...) Someone with very high (or very low)
standards on those qualifiers could be nutty as a fruitcake, but
not come out as such in the test. There are also several which
relate to how others see you, which means someone surrounded by
folks who have agreed not to tell 'John' (Doe) that he's a loon,
will come out just fine.
Conversely Lauri ("The crazy cat lady" :-) ) can get very high
scores just by deciding that the one time she asked a mechanic
to work on her car constitutes 'depends _heavily_ on others'.

Very interesting. I actually took the real complete test once. I think
there were 110 questions, but don't quote me on that. I was told that I
minimized my problems. I said, "really, so I guess that means I am a
postive thinker, huh?" LOL

Hey! Quit spying on me! You picked a good example, actually, because
I do feel really guilty and weak if I have to ask for help with
*anything*. It's really insanely unreasonable, because most people
are more than willing to lend a hand when asked.
Lauri in WA
Casey
Well, I wouldn't say insanely unreasonable. How about suffering from
self-punishing politeness? Believe it or not, there are (as you said)
a lot of people who actually like to help from time to time.
I do understand the guilt thing, because I suffer heavily from it. At
times I think guilt drives my life. However, you have to get past the
'weak' feeling. All of us have some things we're good at doing and
other that we basically suck at.
I'll give you a secret about rewarding men who might be inclined to do
help out occasionally. I have one word (no, not *that* one). Beer.

Funny thing about beer. I used to hate the stuff, but lately I sort of like

in football. . . .

I like the darker beers as well. Unfortunately there aren't any good
"light" (as in calories) dark beers.
As far as football goes, maybe you try drinking more beer while
watching...

Pick whichever makes me look best (or both -- two for one special!)
* I perceptively noticed this about you
* I share the trait and have struggled with it
Anyhow, I've been getting it under control. The separation, where
I had no (effective) choice but to rely on other people, helped break
that logjam.
One helpful piece: A request is not a demand. I can ask for some
help. But the person I ask can turn it down. Conversely, I can
turn them down when they ask. -- seems that the people who have
the worst time about asking for help are those who won't refuse.
You're equals, so can ask for and offer help freely, and decline
equally freely.
Another I'm not nearly as good with: You can ask for help before
it is a life and death situation. Ok, if you ask for the remote
that is sitting 5 feet away from you and cross-country from me,
you're gonna be walking. But if you've got a painting project
that has some time limits, you can ask before it becomes obvious
that you can't finish it in time yourself.
