Yeah, that's not very scientific I don't think.  It does have rewording of questions and different shading, like a real test, but I doubt it has the mechanisms to properly calculate it.
The one that surprised me is the schizoid finding.  I don't have strange thoughts IMO. :hmm:

The narcissist one isn't surprising... I don't think I have narcissism, but I do have high self-esteem and a large degree of self-confidence, and in a test that short it's probably hard to separate those individuals from the true narcissists.

Yeah. It's hard to tell a narcissist from a truly awesome person, like us. :P

Test gives me "low" across the board.   :cool:

And "very slight" for the depression test. :cool:

Also I'm apparently schizotypal and avoidant.

They overlap quite a bit.  Though I wouldn't take this test to the bank, other things you've said could suggest a like this.

Judging from the descriptions, avoidant fits better.

Good for you.  Having really weird thoughts is not pleasant.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011
