who wereassigned to oneof fivestudy cells: Borderline, Schizotypal,
Avoidant,and pulsive Personality Disorder, and a Major
Depressionwithout personality parison group. Patients

manyrelationships between personality traits and disorders were ob-

parison group involved. In general,the differences between the
personalitydisorder patients munity norms were far larger than
thedifferences between the specific personality disorder groups. Also, for
avoidantpersonality, it appeared that statistical interactions between
personalityfactors are needed to betterdifferentiate it from otherperson-
alitydisorder groups. The four personalitydisorder groups studied could
eachbe distinguished munitynorms on the personality dimen-
sionsof thefive-factor model. However,differentiating among the four
groupsproved more difficult, as each shared the configuration of high
Neuroticism,low Agreeableness,and low doesnot
