B) there is overlap among the traits associated with different personality disorders, so people are often diagnosed with more than one personality disorder at the same time
C) personality disorders appear to have very little in common with normal personality, so calling them "personality" disorders does not make sense
D) more than 75 percent of the population could be diagnosed with a personality disorder, which makes the diagnosis meaningless
