Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Schizotypal personality disorder is characterized by odd or eccentric behavior, unusual beliefs, and perceptual experiences that are not typical of normal consciousness or reality. These experiences may include hallucinations, magical thinking, or unusual sensory experiences. Schizoid personality disorder, on the other hand, is characterized by isolation, emotional detachment, and a lack of interest in social relationships. Antisocial personality disorder involves a disregard for the rights of others and a tendency to engage in impulsive and often illegal behaviors. Avoidant personality disorder is characterized by social inhibition, feelings of inadequacy and hypersensitivity to criticism. None of the other three disorders are directly associated with hallucinations or unusual sensory experiences.
