I have to say, I'm not really surprised. Of course, a true psychological profile would rely on more than thirty-some questions with yes or no answers. Right? Right?

The website also recommended this book, which "might help." Now, I joke all the time about the whole narcissism thing, but really, who could say that I exhibit "a combination of gross insensitivity to others, intolerance of personal shortcomings, and a bewilderment at the seeming aridity of life itself." I don't even know what the seeming aridity of life means. I may like to look at myself in the mirror and generally think I'm better than everyone else, but aren't most serial killers narcissists? I could never be a serial killer. And I'm not one of those "people who appear to be strong, untouchable and self-important [who] are in fact weak and apprehesive [sic]", am I? Hmm, maybe I do have a personality disorder! It's not very glamorous, though. Makes me out to be some kind of wuss. I have always said that I have an inferiority complex which I mask with a superiority complex. This is interesting. Of course, I generally think that the medical community developed personality disorders to describe people who are simply different from normal people, and I'm okay with that. I'd rather have be a narcissist or histrionic than be normal. At least I draw the line at taking advantage of people or lying. That makes me entertaining versus a danger to others. Ah, now that that's out of the way, take the test yourself!
