Since he’s the only one that knows what’s going on, he obviously broke my blog somehow. Stupid links are broken, and I get these internal server error messages all over the place. I wonder if Aclin’s blog is functional.
And it is.
However, I have found this. It is a physcological profile sort of page. It asks questions such as,
“Do others see you as being cold and distant? ”
“Is your appearance or behavior considered “eccentric” by other people? ”
“When you are talking to someone, do they sometimes have difficulty following your train of thought? ”
and
“Do you yearn for intimate relationships yet feel that you are too socially inept to obtain them?” (yikes…)
All of those, of course, are yes…and the results are in; I’m crazy!

Wow…I suck don’t I. Here’s what it all means. I am under the distinct impression that they inflate the results in order to convince people that they have some sort of mental illness, but that could just be my schizo tendencies coming through.
Oh well. Here’s a quote for no reason, maybe I can find one that relates this to something else. After all, everything relates to me!
“He is a self-made man and worships his creator.”
John Bright, speaking of Benjamin Disraeli. Zing!
I’m moderate schizo. And that test was highly stupid.

Well…I was low for everything but high obsessive compulsive. I’d say the test was accurate. So…what does that say about you? ;)
I even tried to answer honestly. I guess it means I’m insane. Who would have thunk it?
Okay, I took the nutbag test. I came out low on everything except for two moderates: schizotypal, which doesn’t surprise me, since your standard ENFP is a veritable emotional cyclone, ever obsessing on the ethics of the planet and people and ranting about some injustice or another that doesn’t seem to bother other people. This is regarded as aberrant behavior, so over the years I have learned to chill out a good bit.
The other was the obsessive compulsive disorder, and I do have OCHD, so at least it didn’t miss the obvious. However, I have recently learned that biophysiologically, OCHD functions differently than the other spectrum disorders, affecting a different part of the gray matter and it’s more likely to be co-morbid with ADD than with other OCD expressions, though I do watch numbers. A bad odometer reading can wreck my day.
It’s hell. Oh well. I’m working on it. It’s never hurt anyone else, and it beats cutting or barfing or obeying the voices.
As for your special little assessment, basically it says all the same things that your Meyers-Briggs type inventory said. You’re an INTJ, a high-functioning rare crazy genius. That’s great that it pegs you as VERY HIGH for schizotypal. Sheesh, your whole blog is evidence of that.
But apparently there’s very little negative consequence to being schizotypical, because your odd thinking seems to make you very popular. But don’t let it go to your head. It might feed your narcissicism.
