I've just had to complete the Neo Personality Inventory. Just wondered if anyone had any experienbces with this, or similar. I'm just worried that my therapist will see nothing wrong with me and tell me I'm OK - just after attention (something my husband tells me all the time).

After 'all' (ie those he was prepared to prescribe) treatments had failed, my 2nd pdoc handed me a personality test (of the 'TRUE/FALSE to 567 Qs' variety-don't know if it's the same as yrs). After reading it I refused to complete it; it was so obvious what the various Qs were looking for. An insult to my intelligence. My pdoc insisted the test was foolproof; infallible, but I easily proved him wrong. Passing knowledge of personality/mood disorders allows you to create whatever 'personality' you desire.
I think it was ChrisK who said borderline personality tends to be a 'catch-all' dx oft employed by confounded pdocs. I tend to agree. Personality disorder seems to be dx'd more regularly in the UK than the US. I wonder if this is because we don't seem to have the same level of pharmacological expertise over here?
I wouldn't worry too much about the results of the test & I don't think you're an attn-seeker!
