How histrionic are you compared to everyone else?
The histrionic axis is the quiet one: 93% of 7,722 takers sit at baseline. Before the 2026-08-27 rebalance the quiz offered it in too few scenarios for it to ever be anyone's highest axis; it now competes on equal footing, and this curve counts takes from that date only, so the sample is smaller than the other five axes and grows by the day. That is a property of the quiz, reported here so a low curve is not read as a finding about people.

The axis is shaping choices.
That was a score you picked. Twenty scenarios, seven minutes, and the Index reads your real one on every axis.
Get your real oneKanika Batra sat the same twenty scenarios. Her histrionic score is 0, the baseline band, higher than 18% of takers. She is diagnosed ASPD, clinically assessed as Factor 1 psychopathy, by her psychiatrist; the dashed line is one person's self-report on a screener, not a clinical reading of it.

Frequently asked questions
Why is almost nobody's primary type histrionic?
Until the 2026-08-27 rebalance the quiz offered a histrionic answer in only a handful of scenarios, so the axis could not accumulate the answers needed to be anyone's highest. It now appears as often as every other dark axis, and histrionic primaries can accumulate from that date. Earlier takes are excluded from the histrionic curve, so its sample starts on 2026-08-27 and is smaller than the others for a while.
What is a high histrionic score here?
The top 10% starts at 20. Almost nobody reaches the high band at 60.
Is a high score a diagnosis?
No. It is a self-report across twenty scenarios. Only a clinician can diagnose, and only with a proper assessment. Read the band, not a label.
What this axis measures
Answers that reach for attention and drama. Before the 2026-08-27 rebalance few scenarios offered that pull, so takes from before it are left out of this curve rather than read as zeros.
Traits, or the type?
A taste for the spotlight is ordinary. Histrionic personality disorder is rare, clinical, and not what a twenty-item quiz can find.
