Ramblings of an Anonymous Coward

Testing 123

Somewhere along the line, wrapped up in work and my own mishigas, I missed the great rush to take on-line personality tests. Not to be left behind, I've run myself through a battery of tests at places such as emode.com to find out just what makes up a self-proclaimed anonymous coward. The results aren't pretty, but I did learn a fair amount in the process. For example, I always considered myself to be anti-social. According to 4degreez.com and their Personality Disorder Test that isn't the case at all.

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

Avoidant Avoidant personality disorder is characterized by extreme social anxiety. People with this disorder often feel inadequate, avoid social situations, and seek out jobs with little contact with others. They are fearful of being rejected and worry about embarassing themselves in front of others. They exaggerate the potential difficulties of new situations to rationalize avoiding them. Often, they will create fantasy worlds to substitute for the real one. Unlike schizoid personality disorder, avoidant people yearn for social relations yet feel they are unable to obtain them. They are frequently depressed and have low self-confidence.

Now that we know I'm pretty much an avoidant nutcase, it's time to take Dante's Divine Comedy Inferno Test to see just exactly what level of hell I'll be calling home some day.

Level	Score
Purgatory (Repenting Believers)	Very Low
Level 1 - Limbo (Virtuous Non-Believers)	Very Low
Level 2 (Lustful)	Very High
Level 3 (Gluttonous)	High
Level 4 (Prodigal and Avaricious)	High
Level 5 (Wrathful and Gloomy)	Very High
Level 6 - The City of Dis (Heretics)	Very High
Level 7 (Violent)	Very High
Level 8- the Malebolge (Fraudulent, Malicious, Panderers)	Very High
Level 9 - Cocytus (Treacherous)	High
