It may be more helpful to group your scores by strength. You have Very High for Borderline, Histrionic, Avoidant, and Dependant, and High for Paranoid and Narcissistic. You can safely ignore the Moderates and Low. That puts you in all 3 Axis 2 clusters, but mainly B and C, or odd thinking and anxiety.
My very rough guess of how this would all fit together is that you are a person who wants to have normal relationships with others, but feels too afraid and inadequate to sustain them for long. In order to attract people's attention, you try to put on a 'show' to entertain them, and you're worried that the real you would put them off, since that's a different person than you usually show them. So when someone gets close enough for you both to start to really know each other, you often find some unforgiveable offence that they've committed against you and break it off. I doubt you'd appreciate it if I continued hypothesizing so I'll stop here ;-)
Ordinarily I would say that if you're fine with the way you are, that's all that matters and you can ignore this test. After all, a personality disorder isn't a true 'disease' like the flu, it just describes a significant variation from the behavioral norms for a certain group; big deal. However, since you scored so highly on Paranoid, Avoidant, and Borderline, I will recommend that you see a therapist. People who have these disorders tend to be very unhappy and lead chaotic and unfulfilling lives, and you don't deserve to be miserable.

Geez it's an online personality disorder test. Relax. To correctly diagnose a personality disorder it takes months sometimes years of observation and historical evidence. Your personality test online was what, 100 questions? I almost guarantee on the test there was a disclaimer about the results.

I wouldn't worry too much about it it said its not to determine. I just took the test myself to see and I got much of the same heck because i believe in the paranormal IE ghosts etc it said i was very high for schizotypal. It's just something to get you to go to the Dr's and buy their meds i think.

Yes, I can. DO NOT TAKE A TEST ONLINE LIKE THAT TO DETERMINE YOUR MENTAL HEALTH!
I will bet that some drug company put that out there, right?
You should be evaluated by a licensed counselor to determine if you have any sort of disorder.
