I looked up Histrionic, Avoidant, and Dependent, since I scored the highest on those. Avoidant fits me very well, I'm afraid. Dependent is also a fairly good match. But, ah, Histrionic? I very much do NOT wish to be the center of attention! Was that based on my worrying on how people perceive me? I just don't want to look foolish in front of people. (I also have trouble with moderate Narcissism. Moderate Schizotypal. . . .well, according to my mun, I DO have Atypical Scientific Neural Disorder, so. . . .)

I wouldn't think you would score as Histrionic, either. I also scored as Moderate for Narcissistic & Avoidant, which unfortunately do tend to describe me (Schizoid as well, but I don't think that is as good of a match).

Miss Mun was not surprised at all by my High Schizotypal score—and looking at the description I think I can see why. (I don't quite agree with all of the symptoms being negative qualities, but I suppose if everyone saw things the same way the world would be very dull indeed.)

Atypical Scientific Neural Disorder? That would be the condition which makes Secundus residents so very creative, correct?

{{OOC: I wonder if Alice would be Creative in Secundus? Also, I really must read more of that!}}

It just doesn't make any sense. I've never craved the spotlight. Perhaps it was my focus on wanting to hear I've done a good job that prompted that result? That's less about wanting the spotlight and more about -- j-just wanting to hear the words.

I wouldn't call you Narcissistic or Avoidant, but you would know yourself better than I. As for the Schizotypal -- I suppose it does fit, but I agree with you that it's certainly not all negative. I know a lot of my Touched friends would probably score high on that disorder, and they're some of the nicest people I've ever met.

Yes, that's the official scientific name for what makes one Touched. Apparently I've got the right genes for it, it just hasn't expressed itself yet (unless I've been timeshifted, which is always a bit odd).

(OOC: Maybe! She'd certainly be a very interesting mad scientist. :) And I've gotta write more of it -- I've technically got the next chapter done, it's just finding the break between it and the one after it that's the trouble. . . .)
