I did extensive testing with a psychologist for all possible personality disorders that exist over the last month. This was done according to the idea that there are 10 specific types of personality disorders in the DSM-5-TR.
At first you do a screener, which is extremely sensitive. It's a couple of pages of questions which take ~2 hours to fill in under supervision of a psychologist.
It doesn't mean whatsoever that the personality disorders you are getting flagged for, that you actually have them. This screener only wants to make absolutely sure which possible disorders could be yours, and which ones are entirely NOT yours.
So if you have even the most minor amount of possible borderline, this screener will flag you for it to make sure you get more testing done for borderline to figure out whether you actually have a borderline personality disorder.
But if even this most sensitive screener doesn't flag you for narcissism. Then it's incredibly unlikely you would have narcissism and no further testing is required.
It just tries to save time and effort by limiting which detailed personality testing needs to be done.
And it flagged me for 7/10 personality disorders that exist:
I could possibly have:
narcissism (a pattern of need for admiration and lack of empathy for others.)
borderline (pattern of instability in personal relationships, intense emotions, poor self-image and impulsivity.)
avoidant (a pattern of extreme shyness, feelings of inadequacy, and extreme sensitivity to criticism.)
obsessive(a pattern of preoccupation with orderliness, perfection and control.)
shizoid (being detached from social relationships and expressing little emotion.)
paranoid (a pattern of being suspicious of others and seeing them as mean or spiteful)
antisocial (pattern of disregarding or violating the rights of others.)
The 3 personality disorders I absolutely didn't have according to the screener (and I wouldn't need any further testing for these) are:
dependant (a pattern of needing to be taken care of and submissive and clingy behavior. )
histrionic (a pattern of excessive emotion and attention-seeking.)
shizotypal (a pattern of being very uncomfortable in close relationships, having distorted thinking and eccentric behavior.)
So I can scratch these off. Phew. Fucking hell man.
I don't have these 3 personality disorders because even the most sensitive official testing couldn't flag these for me.
I am not dependant, which I kinda feel like the name speaks for itself.
I am not histrionic (nobody even knows this word I think) So I have to explain some more here.
My psychologist told me that a 'histrionic personality disorder' is very typical for people who paint their hair blue, get excessive tattoos, piercings, etc. People with a histrionic personality disorder often try to draw a lot of attention to themselves with really weird/alternative styling.
That's not me.
I am not shizotypal, but is difficult for me to understand or explain what this really is or means.
People with schizotypal personality disorder typically display unusual behavior, odd speech and magical beliefs. You might not realize your behavior is unusual or problematic.
Then I had to answer questions with my psychologist for another 3-4 hours that had to do with the 7 personality disorders I got flagged for
I am letting you guess now, which personality disorder did I get flagged for BY FAR the most out of the 7 I mentioned? It's in the poll.
1 of these 7, i got 'diagnosed' for. The rest I didn't. Only 1 stood out for me. Which one?
VOTE BEFORE YOU READ THE SPOILER.

Vote first dude. I want to know what you think of me from the way I post and behave on this forum.
You probably have -some- idea of me, vote whatever you think I am. Vote is anonymous, doesn't matter what you vote.
It would just be cool to see what idea you have of me even if you barely know me, in which way you think I am mentally ill, and how it compares to a psychologist's idea of me with official testing and their view of me.

waiting for votes first, but I will tell you what it is soon and give explanation.
