1. The effect of anger on perfectionism
2. The need to feel superior
3. The link between anxiety and perfectionism
4. The need for medication
Answer: 3
Explanation: Individuals with obsessive-compulsive personality disorder strive at all times to keep the world predictable and organized. These individuals suffer from excessive fear and anxiety. Anger is not a prominent characteristic of obsessive-compulsive personality disorder. Medications are not a first line of treatment for personality disorders. Feelings of superiority are associated with narcissistic personality disorder.
