Interesting List of Character Disorders

I encountered the following list from a Christian Ministry. It seems pretty comprehensive to me although the theological argument about them stemming from original sin is one that I would challenge. Nevertheless it can serve as a way of reviewing our own personal growth to help find areas we might improve in.

A partial list follows. There are 85 items on this list. I am only showing the first ten.

1. Emotional immaturity. Behavior is not age appropriate.

2. Self-centeredness. He comes first and foremost. Is insincere about real interest in other people.

3. Little if any remorse for mistakes.

4. Poor judgment.

5. Unreliability, undependability, irresponsibility.

6. Inability to profit from experience - does not learn a lesson from making mistakes.

7. Inability to postpone immediate gratification - what he wants, he wants now. Impulsive and demanding.

8. Conflict with, or defiance of, authority.

9. Lack of appreciation for the consequences of his actions.

10. Tendency to project his own shortcomings on to the world about him - frequent blaming. Never at fault.
