Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
Impulsive sexual activities are characteristic of histrionic personality disorder. Low self-esteem is more indicative of avoidant behaviors. Inflexible methods are usually seen in obsessive-compulsive personality disorders. Alternating between charming and blaming de-scribes some behaviors commonly seen in antisocial personality disorders.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
There is a need for more research relating genetics and brain dysfunction to personality dis-orders. Although there are some biologic markers, none of the other options are true.
