Asperger's syndrome and histrionic personality disorder are not especially similar disorders, but some aspies may have traits of a histrionic personality anyway.
For each criterion of histrionic personality disorder, decide how well it applies to you personally. If it doesn't apply at all, score it as 0; if it is somewhat applicable, score it as 1; and, if it describes you quite well, score it as a 2. The minimum possible score is 0; the maximum possible score is 12. For an ICD-10 diagnosis of F60.4 histrionic personality disorder, four criteria must be met. I measured myself as having a score of 5.
| ICD-10 wrote: | (a)self-dramatization, theatricality, exaggerated expression of emotions;
(b)suggestibility, easily influenced by others or by circumstances;
(c)shallow and labile affectivity;
(d)continual seeking for excitement and activities in which the patient is the centre of attention;
(e)inappropriate seductiveness in appearance or behaviour;
(f)over-concern with physical attractiveness.
Associated features may include egocentricity, self-indulgence, continuous longing for appreciation, feelings that are easily hurt, and persistent manipulative behaviour to achieve own needs.
Includes: hysterical and psychoinfantile personality (disorder) |
For me: a(1) + b(1) + c(2) + d(1) = 5 |

 I should probably adjust my obsessive-compulsive personality score up a point for having started a thread for each of the nine personality disorders. I didn't wreak havoc on the database with all these polls and threads, did I? |

a - 0; b - 0; c - 0 ; d - 0'; e - 0'; f - 0;
Qualification:
a - No thanks - I really don't need it.
b - Possible, but my ingrained arrogance and opinionated unwillingness to be manipulated might run counter to it.
c - Possibly shallow personally, but not sure my emotional run like that. Believe me, I knew someone who fits the profile quite well. She could turn from tears to laughter at the drop of a hat.
d - Centre of attention - No Thanks!
e - Not with my body, looks, personal charisma, etc.
f - I can't be over-conerned with something I can't possibly change.
Is it possible to score lower? I must obviously be hiding something or other ...
It could be a deficient function of my 'Narcissistic Personality Disorder'. though I am inclined to question the basis of such a 'defect' in the face of such overwhelming empirical evidence. |

We need some histrionics on this forum. Anyone want to increase their histrionic personality score and go bonkers? Come on! There's got to be somebody. You'll be really cool if you do.  |
