Which cluster is associated with odd or eccentric behaviors?

• A. Cluster A
• B. Cluster B
• C. Cluster C
• D. None of the above

Answer: (A)

Odd or eccentric behaviors map to a cluster of personality disorders described as odd or eccentric in thinking and social interaction. This cluster includes paranoid, schizoid, and schizotypal personality disorders, which are characterized by peculiar thoughts, distrust or detachment, and unusual ways of relating to others. The other clusters describe different patterns—one with dramatic, unstable, and attention-seeking traits, and another with anxious or fearful patterns. So the cluster associated with odd or eccentric behaviors is the one that includes paranoid, schizoid, and schizotypal types.
