What’s your personality like? Ever take a self assessment?

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?

Wow where did you get these metrics from? I’d like to take a self assessment on these areas as well 

Psychologists and Psychiatrists.

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.

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?

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.
