According to this article, there are 10 personality disorders. Ten distinct "types" of persons who can be classified as disordered and somehow damaged. Which applies to you? I find every one I read a blistering conviction of some aspect of me under varying circumstances. Socially avoidant? Sure..Paranoid and distrustful? Only in crowds.. Histrionic and narcissistic? Only when I don't get my way... Mystically inclined? Only on my good days. See how you fit into psychology's official list of the "10 Most Wanted".. http://www.psychologytoday.com/blog/hide-and-seek/201205/the-10-personality-disorders "Before going on to characterize these ten personality disorders, it is important to remember that they are more the product of historical observation than of scientific study, and thus that they are rather vague and imprecise concepts. For this reason, they rarely present in their pure ‘textbook’ form, and have a marked tendency to blur into one another. Their division into three clusters (A, B, and C) in DSM-IV is intended to reflect this tendency, with a given personality disorder most likely to blur with other personality disorders within its own cluster."
