Abstract

Background: Personality traits are configured in personality styles or prototypes that are more stable from adolescence onwards, influence the consolidation of adult personality and are expressed in their most pathological variant in personality disorders. Research objective: To study the prevalence of notably prominent personality prototypes (PRPND) in the clinical and general population settings. Material and method: Random sampling of general population (n = 461) and consecutive sampling in a clinical setting (n = 219). Adolescents 13-17 years old. Measuring instrument: Millon Adolescent Clinical Inventory (MACI). Prevalence cut-off point: direct scoring of the prime rate score 85 without transformation. Results: Prevalence in percentages of PRPND (first data clinical sample/ 2nd general data): Introversive (8,2 / 4,6); Inhibited (10 / 5,4); Doleful (5,9 / 3,7); Submissive (14,2 / 10,2); Dramatizing (16 / 14,8); Egotistic (21,5 / 19,7); Unruly (12,8 / 11,7); Forceful (11,9 / 6,3); Conforming (13,3 / 21,5); Oppositional (9,6 / 5,6); Self-Demeaning (9,1 / 3,5) and Borderline Tendency (9,6 / 3,7), Significant differences were observed in Inhibited, Forceful, Self-Demeaning, Borderline Tendency PRPND (higher in the clinical sample) and Conforming PRPND (higher in the general population). Conclusion: Our results reflect the reality of adolescents in PRPND in our context and represent state of alert for the clinician when interpreting high scores on the MACI.
