Hey, didn't I mention this one yet? I'm sure I posted this one somewhere on this forum last week or so. I forgot to post it here, apparently.

I don't know, maybe you did.

Very interesting.

Sometimes, I believe the only reason I was not diagnosed with schizotypal disorder, is that I live in a placewere people like to disobey, and so I decided to disobey this disobedience.

Original paper on SPQ( Schizotypal Personality Questionnaire)
http://schizophreniabulletin.oxfordjour ... 5.full.pdf

Good to know what every question means.

And also interest how diagnosis and scales relate. It seens that among the top 10% on this scale, 55% will be schizotypal. That would give a stpd prevalence of 5.5% consitent with the "5.8 estimate made by Baron and Risch(1987).

Indeed I think every scale only has the power of rulling out diagnosis, the diagnosis itself must be made by people scoring high on a questionnaire and having a positive from a psychiatrist or psychologist.
