Recently stumbled across a quick personality test, takes 3-5 minutes:
https://similarminds.com/personality_disorder_tes…
Interesting results. Turns out I have mild/above average levels of OCD, which may make sense given I studied finance and prefer structure and precision in my day to day. Has anyone here discovered any personality disorders, and if so, how do you manage it?

My personality is ESFP
132 IQ INTJ Bipolar. Strong left and right brained.
Wow where did you get these metrics from? I’d like to take a self assessment on these areas as well
Psychologists and Psychiatrists.
ISTJ here, my iq is probably 125
Don't be so quick to decide you have OCD cause you took a 3 minute test lol
ESTP, no disorders above the average
INTJ
ADHD as a kid and had a crazy bout against panic attacks for awhile in college. Nothing meditation and exercise cant fix. Luckily haven’t been on meds for it in awhile but still have Ativan for emergency use
ENTJ, I got high scores in narcissistic and antisocial. Hm
I scored high in all sections, as I normally do on my exams
Which means you have severe cases of all of these?
Personality Disorders - Paranoid, Schizoid, Schizotypal, Antisocial, Borderline, Histrionic, Narcissistic, Avoidant, Dependent, and Obsessive-Compulsive.
What’s the difference between getting above the average test takers percentage for a certain disorder and actually having the disorder?
Unsure, maybe there are better personality tests out there just found a quick one
ENTP, and in similar corporate assessments always score very strong in ideation, creativity, analytical but very very poor (among poorest in entire departments) on structure, process, detail, etc.
Absolutely hate corporate life and was eye opening that Im just a starving artist type too afraid to take that leap
Same here man, also ENTP. Honestly worried about surviving corporate life in finance in the long term consider how rigid/bureaucratic processes are. How do you deal with it?
Wow, glad (or maybe sad) to see other people in the same boat as me
Anyone have a different office personality than outside of office personality?

I struggled in undergrad and took a bunch of tests.
The truth was I was just lazy and a regular 21 year old who wanted to drink and try to hook up with as many girls as possible and not go to class, but my parents and advisors were convinced someone like me couldn’t struggle unless there was deep seated reason.
I was found to be rated slightly higher than average in hubris / showed narcissistic traits, tendency to be negative / mild depression and at the end of the meeting the dude told my parents he didn’t think I was a sociopath or anything, but I tended to be apathetic to the plight of others and didn’t show much empathy unless it was related to close family members.
After working in banking for over ten years I feel like this would be the average result for most bankers.
