a. eccentric
b. jovial
c. warm
d. controlled
A
Eccentric is the most appropriate descriptor of a person with schizotypal personality disorder. Such individuals have great difficulty forming close relationships with others; therefore they would not likely be referred to as "warm." The odd behavior, appearance, and statements made by such people would most certainly not be described as "controlled," but would most definitely be described as "eccentric." Individuals with schizotypal personality disorder are also not known to be particularly jovial. Other terms used to describe a person with schizotypal personality disorder are odd and peculiar.
