 We have similar scores. 

I noticed, it's somewhat odd since I think we're different people in many ways. From what I am seeing here, it looks like low scores are as significant as high ones. You should post those.

 I don't know what code types refer to. Do you? 

*Never mind got it.

Not sure how legit these are. The codes are your 2-3 highest scales. 

1) 4-8 Psychopathic Deviate + Schizophrenia: Narcissistic, unpredictable, schizoid, antisocial, with underlying dependency and loss of control, perceive others as hostile and dangerous, may have periods of suicidal ideation or aggression, avoid constancy and responsibility.

Possible diagnosis: Exibitionism, Pedophilia, Psychopathy, Schizoid, Antisocial, Borderline, *Pyromania*, Rape, Paranoid schizophrenia, Sexual sadism, Aggressive conduct dis.

2) 4-9 Psychopathic Deviate + Hypomania: Do not profit from experience, ignore social standards, seek stimulation, are self-centered, have superficial and short relationships, narcissistic, impulsive, acting-out, intellectualize to excess, expect quick results from therapy

Possible diagnosis: Substance abuse, Pathological gambling, Rape, Psychopathy, Antisocial, Histrionic, Narcissistic, Sexual sadism, Socialized nonaggressive conduct disorder

3) 4-6 Psychopathic Deviate + Paranoia: Narcissistic, immature, suspicious, angry, transfer-of-blame, seek attention, reject responsibility, intermittent aggression
 

Possible diagnosis: Substance abuse, Oppositional p.d., Paranoid schizophrenia, Somatization, Passive-aggressive, Depression, Paranoia

4) 4-8-6 Psychopathic Deviate + Schizophrenia + Paranoia: Usually very destructive family background, “world is a jungle”

I apologize if it's hard to read, I was going to put all the scores in parenthesis but decided not too. 


I am almost certain I'm not schizophrenic. I don't believe myself to be a psychopath either.

 Your results are unindicative of both. Psychopathic Deviate scored clinically significant due to familial discord.

[Pd] Psychopathic Deviate 69 - 

A high score on the "Psychopathic Deviant" scale does not mean you are a psychopath or would even fit that sort of profile. All it means is that you are fighting something external that is attempting to regulate your behavior or that you are not willing to conform to societal rules or traditional ways of thinking. Individuals with undergraduate degrees tend to show elevated scores, and those that attempted or completed graduate degrees average even higher scores. The same applies to some minority groups having experienced systematic oppression, but that is too complex a matter to explain here; the sheer number of ethnic backgrounds proves forbidding. If you graduated from a ranked [first tier, second tier, or third tier] four year college, your t-score for Pd is expected to be in the 60s. If you carried out further graduate scores, a t-score of 65 is no longer considered elevated. In those cases, you need a 70 or 75 t-score to reach any significance. Note that a t-score of 75 is usually considered quite high. In fact, the profile for a psychopath is typically articulated by sets of other scales, not Pd itself. However, the Pd subscales can do a fine job of indicating potential problematic dynamics that are best interpretated in conjuction with the content, supplemental, and research scales. Stated another way, even if a high Pd is very often not a matter of concern (in opposition to what the scale's name might prima facie bias one to believe), this is not to say that a high score on this scale cannot be approximating a very dangerous underlying dynamic.

[Pd1] Familial Discord 91 - Harris & Lingoes (1955). (9 items). High: Home is unpleasant, lacking in love and understanding. Self explanatory. [FAM] Family Problems 71 - High: Family is unsupportive, unloving, with a good deal of aggression, rejection, and hostility. Indications of verbal and physical abuse, marriages are seen as unhappy, feelings of jealousy, resentment and wish to avoid family members. 

[AGGR] Aggressiveness 79 - High scores tend to be grandiose, resentful, cold, and at times cruel.  This scale assesses narcissistic hostility. 

[ANG1] Explosive Behavior 71 - Explosive and violent episodes that have been directed to both persons and property and have likely resulted in injury and damage. 

 

 

[Sc] Schizophrenia 70 - High Scorers (T-score = 65–79): High scores on this scale suggest a schizoid lifestyle. They do not feel a part of a social environment. They report feeling isolated, alienated, and misunderstood. They feel unaccepted by peers, withdrawn, seclusive, secretive, and inaccessible. They avoid dealing with people and new situations. They are shy, aloof, and uninvolved and experience generalized anxiety. They are often resentful, hostile, aggressive, and unable to express feelings. They tend to react to stress by withdrawing into fantasy and daydreams. They have difficulty separating reality and fantasy. They show great self-doubts and feel inferior, incompetent, and dissatisfied. They may show marked sexual preoccupation and sex role confusion. They are often seen as nonconforming, unusual, unconventional, and eccentric. They may report vague, long-standing physical complaints. Others view them as stubborn, moody, opinionated, immature, and impulsive. They tend to lack information for problem-solving and show a poor prognosis for therapy.

[Sc1] Social Alienation 68   Harris & Lingoes (1955). ( 21 items). High: Feels misunderstood and alienated, feels others have it in for them or wish them harm, describes family as lacking in love and support, admits never having been in love, and avoids social relationships.   [Sc2] Emotional Alienation 78  Harris & Lingoes (1955). (11 items). High: Depression, sado-masochistic tendencies and apathy. [Sc4] Lack of Ego Mastery, Conative 71 - High: Depression, difficulty coping, inertia, regression into fantasy, pessimistic, and may have suicidal ideation. [D4] Mental Dullness 72 - High: Tired, tense, poor concentration and memory, sad and low self-esteem. Low: Feels relaxed, interested in life and self-confident. This scale can be the only elevated scale of depression in a "masked" depression. These people complain of trouble concentrating on schoolwork or on the job.

 While I may not believe in the accuracy of an online test, and I am not one to self-diagnose, from my understanding, these scores would suggest tendencies of a covert schizoid or what? I'm just curious as to what your take on it would be. I know Trypt used the term to describe me in the past, when I first came on SC through you and Trypt. 


I don't know what I am, and it's not something I actively seek to discover, I just found the test itself interesting with the questions it was asking. 

My friends are ones that view me as a psychopath, but obviously I wouldn't paint it like that. The idea of masked depression fits with a theory of mine that I could sub-consciously be suffering from it. Though it's strange because, I would consider myself relaxed, and driven, despite not making progress on my reading and learning side, I do workout and I enjoy it. I have grand aspirations for my future that I seek to achieve even if it means sacrifice. 

I don't think I'm necessarily shy or anxious, I am reserved. I can meet new people and speak to them, I just typically don't. I have approached people and made conversation before. In regards to violence, it's mostly fantasizing of violence. I have beaten my brother up before. The last episode of violence was only a few days ago when one of my dogs was attacking the other so I started beating it, picked it up and chucked it outside. 

I would say that overtime my tolerance of my family is decaying, I have homicidal thoughts, but I don't plan on acting them on, in regards to suicidal thoughts. I don't hate myself, I have critiques, but I seek to improve myself, I don't believe myself to be inherently bad, and I'd say the only thing suicidal would be either my sacrifice and martyrdom, or if somehow all options for my future fail and I am left with nothing but boredom.

I'll tell you my thoughts when I get some time. Just wanted to point out this isn't an online test, really, It's illegal for it to be online. It's a tool used to measure psychopathology, supposed to only be given and interpreted by professionals. I was given this test in jail as part of a risk assessment.

Why would anyone answer these questions truthfully when in custody? That's just asking for trouble.
