I would really take those tests with a grain of salt.  One disorder could easily mimic another.  Really only a trained professional can make that distinction.

I can tell you from my own experience that my psych said I may have a mild touch of it... .   whatever that means.    He said its a tendency to be distrusting, suspicious, and a bit paranoid without hallucinations or delusions. Some people it rarely affect their life and others it can be a problem.

There are some great websites out there that can give you some great info on that.  I have gone on a google spree about it before and found loads.  Smiling (click to insert in post)

I wish you the very best.  

Lol, I just googled it on the net... .   and its says basically an Odd person who believes in magic, dresses funny, and sometimes talks to themselves. How do they know me so well.

Thank you for your response, Laelle.

Yes, I am taking the test results with a grain of salt.

I love the kooky definition you found.  LOL!

I love expressing my self through individual dressing and home decorating!

And, of course magic exists!

I think it is a good thing to be healthily cynical and have your eyes wide open.

If that is what being schizotypal may mean
