The results can be used to assess whether you should consult a mental health professional to further discuss diagnosis and possible treatment options for Schizoid Personality Disorder. The test is based on the DSM’s diagnostic criteria for SPD.
A person with schizoid personality disorder looks aloof and detached. It’s not so severe like in schizophrenia when affected individuals disconnected from reality by forming hallucinations and delusions. The main behavioral pattern is avoidance of social activities that involve emotional intimacy with other people. Schizoid personalities shun any close relationships (including family members) simply because they don’t enjoy them at all. Despite being unable to form intimate attachments to others, schizoids usually have a rich, elaborate but exclusively internal fantasy world.
This test covers all the main symptoms of schizoid 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 schizoid 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.
