This test is based on the DSM’s diagnostic criteria of PPD. One of the main symptoms of people with paranoid personality disorder is their extreme suspiciousness of other people. As a result, they severely restrict their social lives. Feeling threatened they are always looking for evidence to support their suspicions. They try to find hidden motives in other people’s behavior and words and expect that others will exploit them. All that leads to an inability to work together with others, social isolation, detachment, and hostility.    
This test covers all the main symptoms of paranoid personality disorder. However, as any other self-reported test, it does not replace proper professional assessment. If your score indicates that, you have a probability of having a paranoid personality disorder, but proper mental health assessment does not find any, it means that the test is mistaken in your case and provided a false-positive result.
