I just took a test, I feel that I may have some mental issue/disorder, but I doubt illnesses. any how, I just took a personality disorder, see what the test could have came up with, and it said from the answers given I have Schizoid personality, I looked to see about that disorder again, I had a little trouble understanding wikipedia, so I looked on ask.com, if Schizoids prefer to be alone, and this is what I got

http://www.ask.com/web?qsrc=167&o=0&l=dir&q=do+schizoids%2C+prefer+to+be+alone

the first two links both say that Schizoids prefer to be left alone, I actually don't mind being around other persons, but when I was growing up(I'm 18 so it wasn't that long ago) especially though out middle school and high school, many people now days are much stupider than what we use to be, after being around people so much, I would prefer to isolate my self from others for periods of time, now days, I am home alone so much, it doesn't matter, I would like to hang out with my friends more often, but they have work and other crap to do, and I need some form of income(yesterday and today I was working to register at the unemployment office) but I only feel the want to be left alone when I have been dealing with people all to much, so that I don't snap, I had that happen a few times, AFTER anger mangment, never realy before then............. but what I'm getting at is that the test said I'm a schizoid, which those of whom prefer to be left alone, but I don't mind company, so I find it to be fairly inaccurate, so, do you think the test was wrong?

and if your going to say ask a friend, that is what I am going to do, though I don't know if he knows much about mental disorders, other than that, I do know he is pretty intelligent!



note: I would put this in the polls and surveys, but I can't find it, so I am going with my second choice!
 
Well, since you felt a need to take a psychological test, I'm thinking you realize you need some emotional therapy and help. You also mentioned anger management. That raises a big red flag right there. I would not trust an online test for a diagnosis. The therapist needs to know your history and how you deal with life on a daily basis. My suggestion would be to seek therapy with someone qualified to test you more accurately. And, the test results are probably not correct for the reason I stated above. Regardless, sounds like you could use some new tools that therapy can give you to help you feel better.
