What types of personality disorders are there?
Currently, psychiatrists tend to use a system of diagnosis that identifies ten types of personality disorders. These are grouped into three categories.
A
Cluster A Personality Disorder
Odd or eccentric behavior
People here may seem socially awkward, withdrawn, or suspicious. Their thinking can feel unusual or disconnected from reality, which often leads to isolation.
Common traits
- Distrust
- Detachment
- Unusual beliefs
B
Cluster B Personality Disorder
Dramatic, emotional, or erratic behavior
This group is marked by intense emotions, unstable relationships, and impulsive actions — traits that can drive ups and downs in both personal and social life.
Common traits
- Emotional intensity
- Impulsivity
- Attention-seeking
C
Cluster C Personality Disorder
Anxious or fearful behavior
People here tend to wrestle with overwhelming fear or a strong need for control. Their behavior often revolves around worry, insecurity, or a wish to please.
Common traits
- Anxiety
- Fear of rejection
- Perfectionism

Which Personality Disorder Test Should I Take?
If you're not sure which test fits, that's the most common place to start — and a sensible question, because the ten disorders are grouped into three clusters by the kind of pattern they involve. Notice which description below sounds most like what brought you here. You can always take more than one.
A
Cluster A
Start here if it's mostly about detachment, suspicion, or feeling "different." Odd or eccentric patterns — deep mistrust, emotional distance and a preference for solitude, or unusual beliefs that set you apart.
B
Cluster B
Start here if it's mostly about intense emotions, unstable relationships, or impulsivity. Dramatic or erratic patterns — volatility, a shifting sense of self, low empathy, a need for admiration, or impulsive behavior.
- Borderline Personality Disorder Test — intense emotions and fear of abandonment
- Narcissistic Personality Disorder Test — grandiosity, need for admiration, low empathy
- Histrionic Personality Disorder Test — attention-seeking and emotional expressiveness
- Antisocial Personality Disorder Test — disregard for others' rights, rules, and boundaries
C
Cluster C
Start here if it's mostly about anxiety, fear, or a need for control. Anxious or fearful patterns — fear of rejection and inadequacy, an overwhelming need to be cared for, or preoccupation with order and perfection.

Importance of Early Identification
Personality Disorders often begin in early adulthood and can significantly impact various facets of life, including interpersonal relationships and overall quality of life. Early identification by a licensed mental health professional can facilitate timely intervention, potentially mitigating the disorders' impacts.
The Role of Mental Health Professionals
PsyMed's personality disorder tests are designed to be the first step in understanding one's mental health landscape. However, they are not diagnostic tools. Diagnosing personality disorders, such as Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) or Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD), requires a comprehensive evaluation by licensed mental health professionals, such as psychologists, psychiatrists, or clinical social workers. Healthcare providers can offer a more nuanced understanding of the symptoms and recommend appropriate treatment plans.
