-- Personality Disorder Test - Take It! -- | |
It would appear that marriage and fatherhood are a good antidote to most personality disorders. No doubt my wife will find it hilarious that I score highest for "narcissism" and "histrionics." But hey, wouldn't you expect bloggers to score high on narcissism?
I'm a bit surprised that you scored low for "obsessive-compulsive." I mean, you're the guy who (1) *must* shelve all your books in a particular order (e.g., subject matter, then author, then year of publication [rather than alphabetical by title]), (2) wrap all your hardcover books in those plastic library book covers, (3) keep your *read* paperback books in pristine condition (e.g., no creases along the spine, no pages marked) -- and hence you dislike having me borrow your books, and (4) *refolds* every newspaper page back in its original order and feels compelled to do so even after you've finished reading the paper (i.e., if I don't leave the newpaper pages lined up and stacked *just so* you will pick up and refold those pages). Geez.
