In the spirit of personal discovery I decided to take an online personality disorder test. The test asks a series of questions and then displays a chart showing how you measured up. While not the most scientific of tests, it does give you a general ideas of your strengths and failings. This is how I measured up.

Disorder	Rating
Paranoid:	Low
Schizoid:	Moderate
Schizotypal:	Moderate
Antisocial:	Moderate
Borderline:	Low
Histrionic:	High
Narcissistic:	Very High
Avoidant:	Moderate
Dependent:	Low
Obsessive-Compulsive:	Moderate

As it can be clearly seen, while I am fairly low in terms of being Paranoid, Borderline, and Dependent. I’ve scored pretty high as a Histrionic and am off the fucking charts as a Narcissist.

It got me to thinking, “Am I really that self-absorbed and praise-seeking from others?”. To be honest this site is a testament to that very fact. And while I could argue the validity of the test, why should I. Rather than let this mar my reputation, why not embrace it to the point of ridiculousness. Why shouldn’t I be honest with myself as well as others in saying that, yes, this site is purely an exercise in self-aggrandizement? In the spirit of the former Squidmail, it is also a fanclub to myself and so self-absorbed it makes me absolutely gush with pride.

So while I endeavor to put up interesting links and stories to keep my friends abreast of my goings on, in the end it’s really all about me, the people that like me, and the clumsy, slipshod attempt to get more people to like me.

That being said, one should not be taken aback by my candidness. One should be glad that I provide a forum for discussion. Whether it be, “I always thought you a bit of an asshole and I thought you were being coy and cute, but, but……FUCK!?” or “You’ve really fucking done this time, Eric. Piss off!”.
