Galina Ilya Yurievich! Thank you very much for your sessions, which I was lucky enough to take part in.

It's a pleasure to deal with a high-level professional!

Anna Ilya Yuryevich, it is difficult to find words to express my gratitude to you for your help. I remembered in what state and with what thoughts I met last year, 2017. I remember those feelings of bitterness and anxiety that did not leave me under any circumstances. Finally, I left this desire for self-destruction and now I can breathe differently. Thank you!

Tatiana Thank you, Ilya Yurievich, for the consultation. Indeed, she allowed me to look at my life situation from a different angle. Thanks again!

Vladimir Thank you very much for the consultation! Indeed, I noticed that memories pop up at times when I was in a bad mood or irritable, but I could not understand that this was a defense mechanism.

Daria Many thanks for the help! I am very glad, you helped me understand myself and showed me new way to improve your life!

The test for schizoid personality disorder is aimed at assessing a person's personality characteristics. The survey determines the presence of a mental disorder, which occurs in only 3% of people. At the same time, according to statistics, signs in women appear almost 2 times less often than in men.

The schizoid personality type is mainly characterized by:

  • Emotional coldness;
  • Being locked into one’s own thoughts and experiences;
  • Lack of desire for social communication;
  • Indifference to sexual contacts;
  • Increased concern and anxiety.
Schizotypal behavior is caused by severe sociopathy and a desire to be alone. The reasons for the development of such a mental disorder are a hereditary factor, less often the child’s dysfunctional childhood or poor ecological situation environment.

In adolescents, the schizoid personality type is diagnosed much more often than in adults. It is during this period that the first signs of deviations make themselves felt. An online survey will help you determine how susceptible you are to mental illness, but you must remember that only a doctor can provide an accurate diagnosis.

Schizotypal disorder refers to a group of schizophrenia-like diseases, including schizophrenia itself, schizotypal and other delusional disorders. Schizotypal disorder is somewhat similar in its manifestations to schizophrenia. Its symptoms include behavioral abnormalities, emotional inadequacy, and eccentricity. Obsessive ideas, avoidance of communication, and paranoid disorders are common. Delusional and hallucinatory episodes are possible. However obvious signs There are no schizophrenias.

The main difference between schizotypal disorder and schizophrenia is the predominance of positive symptoms. It is characterized by delusions, hallucinations, and obsessions without the development of a personality defect. There are no symptoms characteristic of schizophrenia, such as emotional flattening, decreased intelligence, and sociopathy.

Diagnosis of schizotypal disorder

To establish this diagnosis, a long-term (more than two years) presence of characteristic symptoms in the absence of personality deficit is necessary. The diagnosis of schizophrenia should also be excluded. Information about illnesses of close relatives can help in establishing a diagnosis - the presence of schizophrenia in them serves as confirmation of schizotypal disorder.

It is important to avoid both over- and under-diagnosis. An erroneous diagnosis of schizophrenia is especially dangerous. In this case, the patient will receive unreasonably intensive treatment, and, when information is disseminated among friends, social isolation, which contributes to the aggravation of symptoms.

There are a number of methods that help clarify the diagnosis of schizotypal personality disorder. The SPQ (Schizotypal Personality Questionnaire) test is one of the most simple ways do it.

Test Description

The test for schizotypal personality disorder includes 74 questions that cover 9 main signs of this disease according to ICD-10. A score of more than 41 points is considered a sign of schizotypal disorder. More than half of respondents who exceeded the diagnostic level on the test were subsequently diagnosed with schizotypal disorder.

There are also separate tests for diagnosing the level of psychoticism authored by Eysenck, scales for assessing general and social anhedonia, possible disturbances of perception and a tendency to schizophrenia. However, only in the SPQ are all the signs of schizotypal disorder collected together and presented in an easy-to-use form.

The questions in the test for schizotypal traits are divided into the following scales:

  • impact ideas,
  • excessive social anxiety,
  • strange ideas or magical thinking,
  • experience of unusual perception,
  • strange or eccentric behavior
  • lack of close friends,
  • unusual sayings,
  • reduction in emotions
  • suspicion.

This test demonstrated good reproducibility and reliability of results in different groups of subjects.

The SPQ test can be used both to confirm the diagnosis of schizotypal disorder and for screening examination healthy people from the risk group. This is a fairly reliable and psychologically comfortable way to identify the presence of a disorder at its first symptoms.

The test is also convenient for dynamic monitoring in order to identify worsening or alleviating symptoms. The test questions can be used by patients for self-control - patients do not always perceive their condition as pathological and make corresponding complaints, but with the help of the test they can be easily identified.
