B) Overly friendly
C) Highly social
D) Exuberant
Ans: A
People with schizoid personality disorder are characterized as being expressively impassive and interpersonally unengaged (Millon, 2011). They tend to be unable to experience the joyful and pleasurable aspects of life. They are introverted and reclusive and clinically appear distant, aloof, apathetic, and emotionally detached. Typically lifelong loners, they have difficulty making friends, seem uninterested in social activities, and seem to gain little satisfaction in personal relationships.
