PDQ-4+ Personality Style Test

Schizoid Style

The self-contained soloist

Primary Style Overview

You draw energy from solitude and need very little from bustling social networks: reading, working, and thinking alone is your comfort zone. Even-keeled and immune to the pull of praise or blame, you can focus long-term on what genuinely interests you. Intimacy and liveliness aren't your necessities—depth and autonomy are.If these descriptions distress you persistently and disrupt your life, please seek professional counseling—this quiz is for self-exploration only and is not a diagnosis.

Solitude is your home ground, but keep one or two "low-maintenance" bonds (an old friend, an occasional meet-up); they are backup resources against stress and won't take away your independence.
