Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Schizotypal personality disorder is associated with beliefs in paranormal or supernatural phenomenon, as well as odd or eccentric behavior. The statement about the dead husband returning during a séance suggests a belief in the supernatural, which is a common symptom of schizotypal personality disorder. The other options do not fit this behavior as well.
