Well, this is a bit of a stretch. Basically now you would have to proclaim that personality quirks or other such distasteful behavior composes a mental disorder. This is just a twisted way to view things, basically what we do is this.
As a human develops, they can pick from let's say a 'pool' of personalities, there are a finite amount in the pool, you can pick and choose as many as you like and mix and match them to your pleasure. You can return them to the pool or retain them and hone them for use.
At the end of the day a mental disorder should be reserved for cases where the mental processing one uses and the outcomes one obtains are not inline with logic or reason. That is a mental disorder.
Anything else is just making people uncomfortable and frankly, thinking one must completely conform to some specific behavior patterns is in itself a form of mental disorder.
You just made up a bunch of shit...and said that is hould be that way.....no reasons...
Sorry but your assumptions are not accurate...and you cannot assume that so easily.
You assume that only X types of people can. Exist.....so....already I have a problem with your simple assumption
..... You need a rename. Mindless irrationality.
You clearly do not understand the analogy I provided which describes how human personalities are operated, I could care less if you agree, it is a statement and it is based on the experiences many people have had, for you to proclaim it is made up, reveals your lack of information on the matter.
If there we even 100 personalities, it is a very large combination.
And I fundamentally disagree...you can try to reduce human kind to 100 people types, but that merely shows your ability to measure 100 types....for another may see 20....and another 1000....
The idea that it is reductionist is flawed....you can model it. Sure....but it isn't the case....and is not anything other than what the model is limited to showcase.
Allow me to give you an example of the combinations available in a choose 100 system. so you pick personality 1, and then you pick personality 3 you mix them together, you are not the same as 1 or 3 you are a combination. So you can pick as many as you want and you can operate them together or separately.
As you can see, tons of combinations are available, but still constrained to some small number (100 is just an example, there is no empirical limit here)
Once you are traveled enough, to have met enough people you will understand this to be fact.
Implying you are highly likely to keep meeting some basic personality features embedded in people, but it does not disclose their entire personality capability.
This is far more complex than you are letting on.
