Hi I also suffer from NPD (Narcissistic Personality Disorder).\n\nIt took me a very long time to get to know that something is wrong with me (and not e.g. with the others). I was constantly searching all over English and Czech speaking internet (I'm from the Czech Republic) and I was searching in all possible psychological and psychotherapeutic books.\n\nThe best I have found so far were books from James F. Masterson, a New York City researcher, psychiatrist and psychotherapist. I have visited him also personally on 60 Sutton Place South, Manhattan, NYC, but I hadn't enough money to afford therapy by him, his affiliates or his followers. He is head of www.mastersoninstitute.org\n\nLuckily he publishes his therapeutic approach and it was helpful for me even without a therapist. I'm still going back to his books and still finding something new (within me). You can have a look at the content of his books at www.amazon.com, search for James F Masterson in books section.\n\nMedication is of no use, except you develop a depression or some psychosis, it will help you get back into life (and into NPD again).\n\nHope this might help you.\n  Martin D

I do not know of a specific online test for multiple personality disorder that has been validated.  Since the people with multiple personality disorder that I have treated all scored high on the Borderline Personality profile of the Millon Multiaxial Inventory this may be the way to go.

A personality disorder is identified \n\nby a pervasive pattern of experience and behavior that is abnormal with respect to any two of the following:\n\nthinking, mood, personal relations, \n\nand the control of impulses.\n\n \n\nThe character of a person is shown through his or her personality -- by the way an individual thinks, feels, and behaves.  When the behavior is inflexible, maladaptive, and antisocial, then that individual is diagnosed with a personality disorder. \n\n \n\nMost personality disorders begin as problems in personal development and character which peak during adolescence and then are defined as personality disorders. \n\n \n\nPersonality disorders are not illnesses in a strict sense as they do not disrupt emotional, intellectual, or perceptual functioning.  However, those with personality disorders suffer a life that is not positive, proactive, or fulfilling.  Not surprisingly, personality disorders are also  associated with failures to reach potential.\n\n \n\nThe DSM-IV-TR: Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, published by the American Psychiatric Association, defines a personality disorder as an enduring pattern of inner experience and behavior that deviates markedly from the expectation of the individual's culture, is pervasive and inflexible, has an onset in adolescence or early adulthood, is stable over time, and leads to distress or impairment.\n\n \n\nCurrently, there are 10 distinct personality disorders identified in the DSM-IV:\n\nAntisocial Personality Disorder:  Lack of regard for the moral or legal standards in the local culture, marked inability to get along with others or abide by societal rules.  Sometimes called psychopaths or sociopaths. \n\nAvoidant Personality Disorder:  Marked social inhibition, feelings of inadequacy, and extremely sensitive to criticism. \n\nBorderline Personality Disorder:  Lack of one's own identity, with rapid changes in mood, intense unstable interpersonal relationships, marked impulsively, instability in affect and in self image. \n\nDependent Personality Disorder:  Extreme need of other people, to a point where the person is unable to make any decisions or take an independent stand on his or her own. Fear of separation and submissive behavior. Marked lack of decisiveness and self-confidence. \n\nHistrionic Personality Disorder:  Exaggerated and often inappropriate displays of emotional reactions, approaching theatricality, in everyday behavior. Sudden and rapidly shifting emotion expressions. \n\nNarcissistic Personality Disorder:  Behavior or a fantasy of grandiosity, a lack of empathy, a need to be admired by others, an inability to see the viewpoints of others, and hypersensitive to the opinions of others. \n\nObsessive-Compulsive Personality Disorder:  Characterized by perfectionism and inflexibility; preoccupation with uncontrollable patterns of thought and action. \n\nParanoid Personality Disorder:  Marked distrust of others, including the belief, without reason, that others are exploiting, harming, or trying to deceive him or her; lack of trust; belief of others' betrayal; belief in hidden meanings; unforgiving and grudge holding. \n\nSchizoid Personality Disorder:  Primarily characterized by a very limited range of emotion, both in expression of and experiencing; indifferent to social relationships. \n\nSchizotypal Personality Disorder:   Peculiarities of thinking, odd beliefs, and eccentricities of appearance,  behavior, interpersonal style, and thought (e.g., belief in psychic phenomena and having magical powers). \n\nAccording to Dr. Sam Vaknin, author of Malignant Self-Love: Narcissism Revisited, individuals with personality disorders have many things in common (see The Interrelationship Between Personality Disorders):\n\nSelf-centeredness that manifests itself through a me-first, self-preoccupied attitude \n\nLack of individual accountability that results in a victim mentality and blaming others, society and the univ

I would think that any local medical center or hospital could offer materials for this type of research.  The medical section of the University library would also be an excellent resource.  Online is allows a good place to start though.

Yes.  The new revision of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual has a entire sub-category for Neoconservatism under "Personality Disorders."
