I can't say I'm surprised with this result since I have been diagnosed with three major personality disorders.
I have Antisocial Personality Disorder. From the overview at The Mayo Clinic

Antisocial personality disorder, sometimes called sociopathy, is a mental condition in which a person consistently shows no regard for right and wrong and ignores the rights and feelings of others. People with antisocial personality disorder tend to antagonize, manipulate or treat others harshly or with callous indifference. They show no guilt or remorse for their behavior.

Individuals with antisocial personality disorder often violate the law, becoming criminals. They may lie, behave violently or impulsively, and have problems with drug and alcohol use. Because of these characteristics, people with this disorder typically can't fulfill responsibilities related to family, work or school.

I'm sure you noticed the word sociopathy in the first sentence. Sociopaths often have significant overlap with psycopaths and professionals often have trouble agreeing where the line is. I am fairly certain that I am not a psychopath as I have never had any abnormal murderous desires

I also have Borderline Personality Disorder. Psychology Today has lovely things to say about BPD

People with BPD, originally thought to be at the "border" of psychosis and neurosis, suffer from difficulties with emotion regulation. While less well known than schizophrenia or bipolar disorder, BPD affects two percent of adults. People with BPD exhibit high rates of self-injurious behavior, such as cutting and, in severe cases, significant rates of suicide attempts and completed suicide. Impairment from BPD and suicide risk are greatest in the young-adult years and tend to decrease with age.

Some lyrics in this song are appropriate, others just make me question my masculinity for liking it...

My last diagnosis is Schizotypal Personality Disorder. This one is loads of fun!
Mayo tells us--

People with schizotypal personality disorder are often described as odd or eccentric and usually have few, if any, close relationships. They generally don't understand how relationships form or the impact of their behavior on others. They may also misinterpret others' motivations and behaviors and develop significant distrust of others.

Schizotypal personality disorder can easily be confused with schizophrenia, a severe mental illness in which people lose contact with reality (psychosis). While people with schizotypal personality disorder may experience brief psychotic episodes with delusions or hallucinations, the episodes are not as frequent, prolonged or intense as in schizophrenia.

Another key distinction is that people with schizotypal personality disorder usually can be made aware of the difference between their distorted ideas and reality. Those with schizophrenia generally can't be swayed away from their delusions.

It is such a relief to know that I am only delusional and that my psychotic episodes won't be as frequent, prolonged, or intense as that of a schizophrenic...

More fun from Psychology Today

People with this disorder may be severely disturbed and might appear schizophrenic. More commonly, however, patient beliefs (aliens, witchcraft, possessing a "sixth sense") are stranger than their behavior, and may often keep them isolated from normal relationships. Hallucinations, however, are not a common symptom.

See? No worries, my beliefs are stranger than my behavior!

I Am Not A Threat To You

I am completely unmedicated. I am a strange mo-fo. But I mean you no harm.

Peace!

Im only 26% darker.

Got Machiavelli, psychopathy, an narcissism.

Not too sure they apply to me logic is my favorite and emotions are lower on the scale

Well psychopaths often are described as emotionless. This isn't strictly true though, a more accurate description is that most emotions aren't felt as intensely as they are by others. Psycopathy is really just sociopathy with violent tendencies. I don't have any particularly violent tendencies but when pushed into violence I tend to be excessive. That's what the authorities say anyway...

I have never had any abnormal murderous desires

Just the standard run of the mill murderous desires? 😅

Meh. Normal is much overrated.

They seem normal to me anyway. :-D
