Test: Psychopath/Narc/Histrionic PD

Postby Kiskiskis » Wed Oct 02, 2013 6:25 pm

Would be intresting to hear, what others get as a result.
No, these tests are not the absolute truth, or even close. But just as curiosity 8)
http://www.counseling-office.com/surveys/test_psychopathy.phtml

I got:
There are strong indications that you might have a
histrionic personality disorder.
There is, however, no scientific test to confirm this diagnosis other than to verify the symptoms by subjective means. Thus, some people may be wrongly diagnosed as having the disorder while others with the disorder may not be diagnosed - with the result that treatment is often only prompted by depression associated with dissolved romantic relationships. Medication does little to affect this personality disorder, but may be helpful with symptoms such as depression. Psychotherapy may be of benefit and will aim at self-development through resolution of conflict and advancement of inhibited developmental lines.

You meet 100% of the range of general personality disorder criteria.
However, there are no clear indications of you having a psychopathic/antisocial, narcissistic or histrionic disorder, so there might be another problem not captured by this test.
Thus, is strongly recommended you seek a professional diagnosis to be sure what exactly you are dealing with.
It might turn out useful to print the previous page including your selections and take it to a psychotherapist, psychiatrist or psychologist


Edit. Noo!, I didn't save my actual score for psychopathy, I don't think I even saw any numbers there.
Narc score was 4/9

Reading the description for HPD, it sounds a bit too familiar...

7/9 for the NPD score. However, I thought the questionnaire was poorly written and wouldn't put much stock in the results.

Ahh one of those, lol.

I thought question 29 was a bit odd - most of that could apply to all kinds of PD depending how its interpreted, unless its a general "do you have a PD question". (Maybe that's what it is, lol.)

I wonder why the person who created the test chose those 3 disorders?

I did this test twice. The first time I did it I answered as I would have done before therapy. This is what I got

There is no clear indication that you might have a
psychopathic / antisocial personality disorder.
You reached, however, 37.50% of Factor 1 which captures the core personality traits of psychopathy that define the interpersonal and affective deficits of this personality disorder (e.g. shallow affect, superficial charm, manipulativeness, lack of empathy) and that are correlated with narcissistic personality disorder, low anxiety, low empathy, low stress reaction and low suicide risk. But Factor 1 is also associated with extraversion and positive affect - affected persons usually score high on scales of achievement and well-being, so some aspects of the personality disorder may even be beneficial for the psychopath (in terms of nondeviant social functioning or if it comes to profit from manipulation or lies).
You reached, however, 16.67% of Factor 2 which captures the traits of antisocial behavior (e.g. criminal versatility, impulsiveness, irresponsibility, poor behaviour controls, juvenile delinquency) and is associated with reactive anger, social deviance, sensation seeking, anxiety, increased risk of suicide, low socio-economic status, criminality, and impulsive violence.
You reached, however, 75.00% in other relevant traits that can indicate this personality disorder.
You might have certain traits of antisocial or psychopathic personalities but certainly not in a form that would justify a personality disorder diagnosis according to the standards.
Score: 12 of 38 [12:6/3/3]
There are strong indications that you might have a
narcissistic personality disorder.
There are slight differences between the major diagnostic manuals in how to diagnose a narcissistic personality disorder, with the ICD-10 manual stating that a person may only be diagnosed with a Narcissistic Personality Disorder if she/he does not meet the diagnostic criteria for a dissocial (antisocial, psychopathic), histrionic or any of the other personality disorders at the same time. For the DSM-IV manual, there is no such exclusion. It is unusual for NPD personality types to seek therapy, as they unconsciously fear exposure or inadequacy and will usually disdain therapeutic processes or the idea of psychotherapy itself, sabotage the therapeutic process or openly oppose it. Pharmacotherapy is rarely effective.
Score: 8 of 9

This is what I got on the second test, answering according to the way I feel today.

You meet as little as 40% of the range of general personality disorder criteria.
Having a result indicating either a psychopathic/antisocial, narcissistic or histrionic personality disorder but not meeting important criteria for a general personality is unusual.

I was diagnosed with HPD and interstingly since therapy there seem to be no symptoms, but there are strong narc traits, although not as high as they were previously.

You reached 100.00% in other relevant traits that can indicate this personality disorder.
However, there are disputes over the correct diagnosis of psychopathic resp. antisocial personality disorders, and the standardization of clinical testing for APD/PPD is still in the process.
Regarding the perspective for psychopathic/antisocial personalities and treatment options, please refer to my article about psychopathy and antisocial behavior in the "Papers" section of my website.

I found this test very interesting. What hit home for me was that many of the questions about how i behave are a direct result to how i was raised. Or who i was raised by. That being Narcissistic parents. The Shallow effect, and lack of interpersonal relationships are a direct result to what i was raised, and taught to be. However, of course mostly everyone can say that. :?

There is no clear indication that you might have a

You reached, however, 5.56% of Factor 2 which captures the traits of antisocial behavior (e.g. criminal versatility, impulsiveness, irresponsibility, poor behaviour controls, juvenile delinquency) and is associated with reactive anger, social deviance, sensation seeking, anxiety, increased risk of suicide, low socio-economic status, criminality, and impulsive violence.

Hey, thats what I got too, accept 16/38.

I think this test isn't just a random test. As the range of answers it gives is not just a couple.
I did this test a while a go and got close to narc diagnose. That's how I felt like then, just shattered.
Now I feel much better.
But there's no doubt that I have some kind of PD.

Kiskiskis, is it okay if I also post this in HPD so it appears in two forums? It's fascinating.
