I usually avoid "what personality disorder do you have?" quizzes, because the quizzes tend to tell me I have all of them. More than reflecting my personality, I think these quizzes reflect my test-taking style. For example, the quiz I linked to asks, "Do you always feel the need to have a story to tell?" I'm a short story writer, so I answered Yes. My result: highly histrionic ("People with histrionic personality disorder . . . use grandiose language to discribe* everyday events.").
*That's how they spell it.

im right with ya on this quiz thing..
they telegraph the meaning of the question so you can easily manipulate the results.. again, a sharp mind can be as sick as they wat to be..
it is very unusual to find one of these quizzes that makes me wonder what the hell are they looking for.

I managed to score 4 Very Highs and 3 Highs, myself. Curiously absent are ADD and Depression (I know, not a personality disorder in itself), which can both cause/contribute to every single symptom in the big list.
