I'm 50/50. On one hand it's interesting and good to know about yourself and your issues but it is a double-ended sword. I was diagnosed with ASPD a little while back among other things and while I'm glad I understand the root for a lot of my problematic traits I now also have a piece of paper that makes me look bad if I have to go to court.
