The following are cluster B personality disorders :

(1) Schizotypal
(2) Borderline
(3) Histrionic
(4) Antisocial

  • A.(1) and (2) only
  • B.(1), (2) and (3) only
  • C.(2), (3) and (4) only
  • D.(1), (2), (3) and (4)

Answer: C

The cluster B disorders listed are (2), (3) and (4) only.

DSM groups personality disorders into three clusters. Cluster B, the dramatic, emotional or erratic group, contains antisocial, borderline, histrionic and narcissistic personality disorders, so borderline (2), histrionic (3) and antisocial (4) belong to it.

Schizotypal personality disorder (1) is in cluster A, the odd or eccentric group, with paranoid and schizoid personality disorders. Any option that includes schizotypal is therefore wrong.
