None of you are plotting against me are you?

Faust:
My antisocial score isnt high enough for me to be plotting against you.  But my schizotypal score is.   ;)

HOWEVER i am very critical of this test. take several examples:
 
quote:When you are talking to someone, do they sometimes have difficulty following your train of thought?
--- End quote ---
how would i know? do i read their mind?
quote:Do you tend to be critical of loved ones, sometimes holding them to higher standards than you hold yourself to?
--- End quote ---
how can i be an accurate judge of this in myself? if i am paranoid or delusional i will not be able to accurately guage whether the standards i set for myself are higher that for others.  
quote:Do you have a hard time throwing things away, even if they are old and worn out?
--- End quote ---
do i have a hard time? no. but i don't like to throw old things away, is this the same thing? no.
quote:Do you believe you have more difficulty with relationships than the average person your age?
--- End quote ---
how would i know this? is this a test of what i believe compared with what i believe about others? or is it an actual attempt to find out if i have difficulty with relationships. there is a big difference between whether i think i have difficulties and whether i actually do. maybe i have immense difficulty, if i say that i do, this is not paranoid. i would only be paranoid if i had no difficulty and i said i did have a difficulty. Are you having trouble following my train of thought?
quote:Do you find it hard to concentrate on one thing for a long time?
--- End quote ---
how long's a long time? 5 minutes of intense concentration? five hours of attention to one topic? five days of rigid interest in a subject?
quote:What sex are you?
--- End quote ---
why does this matter? i know different genders have different psychological tendencies when taken broadly but the gender i say i am should have no bearing on my specific answers. if women are supposed to be more stable for example (not saying they are), and i say i am a woman, does this mean i will be marked more sympathetically or less sympathetically? perhaps if i say i am male, it is more "normal" to be a psycopathic totalitarian lunatic, so i only get 'moderate' whereas i might have got 'extreme' simply for being a woman. no i am not convinced.


and i am fully reassured of course of the sincerity of whoever put this test together by these convincing words:

i thought that most of the questions were leading questions, and do not think the test holds any value. its like i was talking to a lawyer or something.
