MOE:多疑慮、疑心重。

Take this excerpt from a story about 曹操 for example:
『曹操是一个多疑的人,他总是怕人暗杀他,他说,他睡觉的时候容易做出奇怪的事情,让别人在
他睡觉时别靠近他。有一天,曹操睡着了,他的佣人照顾他,他突然跳起来把这个人杀死了。』

Editor: "skeptical" seems a bit off the mark -- it was probably copied from dict.cn.
But it's not as bad as nciku. They say it means "To be too misgiving; to be like a suspect" !
Well, at least I learned that misgiving can be an adjective ;-)
And I guess you could say that 曹操 was very much "like a (murder) suspect" after that episode ;-)
