An individual methodically wears a specific set of clothes for each day of the week; rarely deviates from a very detailed, neatly organized, written daily schedule; and has been "let go" from several jobs due to an inability to complete all the
details of assignments by the scheduled deadlines. This individual is MOST likely diagnosable with: a. avoidant personality disorder
b. antisocial personality disorder
c. borderline personality disorder
d. obsessive-compulsive personality disorder
D
Obsessive-compulsive personality disorder (OCPD) would be the most likely diagnosis for this individual. Individuals with OCPD have a pervasive preoccupation with order, cleanliness, control, and perfectionism. In many cases, individuals suffering from OCPD appear highly inflexible. They become so focused on rules, detail, and procedures that they lose focus on the reasons for the procedures and instead focus solely on the pattern.
