Schizoid
People with schizoid personality disorder avoid relationships and do not show much emotion. They genuinely prefer to be alone and do not secretly wish for popularity. They tend to seek jobs that require little social contact. Their social skills are often weak and they do not show a need for attention or acceptance. They are perceived as humorless and distant and often are termed "loners."
Obsessive-Compulsive
Obsessive-Compulsive personality disorder is similar to obsessive-compulsive anxiety disorder. People with this disorder are overly focused on orderliness and perfection. Their need to do everything "right" often interferes with their productivity. They tend to get caught up in the details and miss the bigger picture. They set unreasonably high standards for themselves and others, and tend to be very critical of others when they do not live up to these high standards. They avoid working in teams, believing others to be too careless or incompetent. They avoid making decisions because they fear making mistakes and are rarely generous with their time or money. They often have difficulty expressing emotion.
The problem with these sorts of tests are that they give such a broad range of questions that it seems like almost anyone can qualify to have one of these illnesses, when in reality, it's a good chance that you're not at all in danger of them. Such tests can actually motivate a person to actually believe they have the disorder and seek professional help, listing off all these things that qualify them to have the disorder. These quizzes are actually dangerous, because they cover such a slim line of qualities and not the whole picture. In order to have ANY of these disorders you need to have ALL of the qualities, which some, frankly, are very hard to come by. There's so much more to being a "schizoid" than what they have listed in that paragraph.
