The Big Sister's (who is 5'4") Personality Disorder

While visiting phin's blog, I found a test about personality disorders and took it. Here are the results.

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

Evidently, I have moderate tendencies toward Histrionic Personality Disorder, so I looked it up. I think those who know me well will indeed agree with the "diagnosis."

Histrionic Personality Disorder

What is Histrionic Personality Disorder?

Quick Summary:

People with histrionic personality disorder are constant attention seekers. They need to be the center of attention all the time, often interrupting others in order to dominate the conversation. They use grandiose language to discribe everyday events and seek constant praise. They may dress provacatively or exaggerate illnesses in order to gain attention. Histrionics also tend to exaggerate friendships and relationships, believing that everyone loves them. They are often manipulative.

Symptoms of Histrionic Personality Disorder:

  • Needs to be the center of attention


  • Dresses or acts provocatively


  • Rapidly-shifting and shallow emotions


  • Exaggerates friendships


  • Overly-dramatic, occassionally theatrical speech


  • easily influenced; highly suggestible


Additional Information:

None at this time.
