(2013) conducted a study to determine if the various personality disorder clusters—Type A (Schizoid, Odd), Type B (Narcissistic, Anti-social) and Type C (Avoidant, OCD)—were solely detrimental in terms of life outcomes for the individuals with these personality disorders (PDs), or if they instead presented their sufferers with various potentially adaptive benefits, such as more plentiful sexual and social opportunities. | ||

A further questionnaire designed to broadly measure various life outcomes such as number of sexual partners, employment, income, and health was also administered. | ||

The researchers also found that those higher in cluster B had 39% more children than those lower in cluster B traits. | ||

It can be surmised that these personality traits, with all their concomitant adverse outcomes, both for the bearers of these disorders and their potential victims, are most likely being significantly sexually selected for in various modern societies. | |||
