Personality Disorders

I'm gathering patterns here. Keep in mind that we all have traits in several personality disorder categories. We just typically don't have enough to meet criteria for one diagnosis. Also, it is required that these traits impair your functioning in the world. Plenty of folks are annoying or annoyed and also doing just fine.   

Jane Rekas, LCSW

I am using celebrities as an illustration of possibilities. It is not possible to diagnose personality disorders by conjecture.

"ESTP and ENFJ can suffer from Histrionic personality disorder, a disorder in which individuals crave attention, are dramatic, have unstable emotions, think they are closer to people than they really are, and have strong opinions. This is a result of their strong desire to be liked and be the centre of attention." source

Schizotypal




 By PsychReel

Mark Zuckerberg
FF-Ti/Ne-CS/B(P)
Joel Olsteen, ISFJ
MF-Si/Fe-BS/P(C)

"A): INTP and ISFJ

Schizotypal personality disorder belongs to Cluster A of personality disorders that are characterized by odd, eccentric thinking or behavior. Because of their great affinity for an interior fantasy world coupled with introversion, INTP and ISFJ are thought to have this disorder. 

The introverted intuitive types were more likely to test as schizotypal because INTP leads with intuition, which has the least attachment to the realm of sensation. They have a particular set of beliefs and habits that make it difficult for them to fit in socially."


"Schizoid personality disorder (A): ISTP and INFJ (same as above article)

A schizoid personality disorder is again a part of Cluster A of personality disorders. Because they are more distant and live in their abstract notions, ISTP and INFJ are considered to struggle with this disorder. 

These two functions have a proclivity for dreaming elaborately about the future and its ramifications. They rarely, if ever, try to stress the need of putting their ideas and plans into action."

"Paranoid personality disorder (A): ISFP and INTJ

Individuals with paranoid personality disorder have an extreme need to be self-sufficient and a strong sense of autonomy because they lack trust in others. They must also exert a great deal of control over those around them. 

The ISFP and INTJ personality types are believed to have this illness since they are typically inflexible, judgmental of others, and unwilling to collaborate, despite having a hard time receiving criticism. They may place blame on others for their own failings. They may be litigious and frequently become involved in legal battles as a result of their eagerness to counterattack in response to threats they sense around them."

Borderline

 
Pete Davidson is a
MF-Ti/Se-CP/B(S) decider
 
Pete Davidson has publically disclosed he has been diagnosed with Borderline Personality Disorder.

"Borderline personality disorder (B): ENFP and ESTJ

A borderline personality disorder is characterized by the switching of personality traits. It’s similar to bipolar disorder in that one will have high episodes of mania and depression, switching between the two. 

They will also have difficulty forming and maintaining relationships due to their switching emotions. This is a personality condition that will be much more closely associated with ENFP personality types or ESTJs in general because introverted feelings and extraverted intuition will be much more closely aligned with this type of conduct.

Narcissistic personality disorder (B): ESFJ and ENTP

Narcissistic personality disorder belongs to Cluster B of personality disorders and is characterized by an extreme craving for attention, but not the same elevated level of self-absorption as a narcissist. 

This condition is most likely connected with extroverted sensing dominant types like ESFJ and ENTP because it is marked by an intense craving for attention rather than a grandiose level or grandiose depiction of the self.

Histrionic personality disorder (B): ESTP and ENFJ

Histrionic personality disorder belongs to Cluster B of personality disorders. When they are not the center of attention, they experience discomfort or feel disrespected. 

This disorder is thought to affect ESTP and ENFJ people because they are typically animated and dramatic, and they like to bring attention to themselves. They may first charm new acquaintances with their excitement, apparent openness, or flirtatiousness.

Avoidant


Avoidant personality disorder (C): INFP and ISTJ

Avoidant personality disorder belongs to Cluster C of personality disorders and is characterized by social inhibition, sensitivity to criticism or rejection, emotions of inadequacy. 

This disorder is thought to affect INFP and ISTJ personality types because they have poor self-esteem and are hypersensitive to rejection, which is linked to limited interpersonal engagement. These people are prone to be isolated, and they rarely have a significant social support network to fall back on in times of need. 

They want to love and seek approval, and they may fantasize about idealized relationships. Because these persons tend to avoid the types of social settings that may be necessary for satisfying the basic demands of the job or for development, avoidant behaviors can have a negative impact on occupational functioning.

Obsessive-compulsive personality disorder (C): ESFP and ENTJ

Obsessive-compulsive personality disorder belongs to Cluster C of personality disorders. Because of their extreme fixation with details, orderliness, and regulations, the ESFP and ENTJ are believed to have this disease."
