Description of symptoms/presentation	Personality Disorder Type
Some people with this personality disorder tortured animals when they were young	Antisocial Personality Disorder
Rigid and inflexible, these folks are extremely preoccupied with control and perfection in themselves and others. Devoted to work and no play, they neglect social relationships and get so lost in the details that they can't see the big picture.	Obsessive Compulsive Personality Disorder
More common in men than women, these folks are preoccupied with fantasies of unlimited success and power. Hobbies include fantasizing about their superior intelligence, belittling others, and reflecting on their stunning beauty.	Narcissistic Personality Disorder
Studies suggest that approximately 25 to 50 percent of prisoners suffer from this disorder. These folks experience intense emotional reactions, have trouble regulating their emotions, have a tendency toward angry outbursts and often engage in self-destructive behaviors.	Borderline Personality Disorder
These "loners" often prefer mechanical or abstract activities that involve little human interaction and appear indifferent to both criticism and praise. Emotionally, they seem aloof, detached, and cold. They do not form close relationships with others and present as oblivious and socially inept.	Schizoid Personality Disorder
People with this disorder are intensely afraid that others will ridicule them, reject them, or criticize them. This leads them to avoid social situations and to avoid interactions with others.	Avoidant Personality Disorder
These folks are known for being drama queens and exhibit excessive emotionality, dislike being alone, are uncomfortable when they aren't the center of attention, and often dress in a provocative or showy fashion.	Histrionic Personality Disorder
Proccupied with the fear of being abandoned and the need to be "taken care of," these folks present as "clingy," cannot stand being alone, will go to great lengths to avoid conflict and have great difficulty standing up for themselves.	Dependent Personality Disorder
Much like the "Doomsday Preppers," these folks are excessively proccupied with global disasters and conspiracy thories. They tend to assume that others are out to harm them, take advantage of them, or humiliate them in some way.	Paranoid Personality Disorder
These folks tend to be socially isolated, reserved, and distant, feel acute discomfort in social settings and are limited in their ability to connect with others. They also have odd or eccentric beilefs that are outside of cultural norms.	Schizotypal Personality Disorder
