The aim of all the tests is to differentiate between the several subtypes of schizophrenia, but not everyone fits in a specific category. The five common types of schizophrenia include 1) paranoid, 2) catatonic 3) disorganized 4) undifferentiated and 5) residual.
The majority of patients have the undifferentiated subtype whose dominant symptoms may be from any one of the other subtypes. The paranoid schizophrenia subtype is characterized by delusions and hallucinations, and has the best chance of improvement.
