Explanation of Facets:

Impassivity: People with schizoid personality elements often appear to be in


an inert emotional state. They are frequently described by others as lifeless,
undemonstrative, and lacking in energy and vitality. They tend to be
unmoved, impassive, unanimated, robotic, unemotional, and have a stolidly
calm expression. Moreover, many display de@cits in activation, motoric
expressiveness, and spontaneity.

Isolation: Schizoid individuals tend to be interpersonally unengaged. To


others, they seem to be indiBerent, remote, and rarely responsive to the
actions or feelings of others. They usually choose solitary activities, possess
minimal social interests, and fade into the background. They are often seen
as aloof or unobtrusive, as if they neither desire nor enjoy close
relationships. Hence, many are found in peripheral roles in social, work, and
family settings.

Impoverished Cognition: People with schizoid personalities seem de@cient


across broad spheres of mental reactions. They tend to exhibit vague and
obscure thought processes and disinterest in social information and people.
Thus, their communication with others is often unfocused; they usually
refrain from participating overmuch in social exchanges and may usually
convey their ideas in a lethargic or self-referential manner.

Complacent Self: Schizoid individuals reveal minimal introspection and


awareness of the self and its potentialities. They seem impervious to the
emotional and personal implications of everyday social life and appear
indiBerent to praise or criticism from others.
Meager Contents: People with schizoid personalities have few internalized
representations. They rarely articulate their thoughts and are largely forlorn
regarding the manifold percepts and memories of relationships involving
others. Consequently, schizoid people tend to possess little of the dynamic
psychic interplay among drives and conHicts that typify well-adjusted adults.

Intellectualization: A central schizoid trait is the tendency to describe


interpersonal and aBective experiences in a matter-of-fact, abstract,
impersonal, and mechanical manner. People with schizoid features tend to
pay primary attention to formal and objective aspects of social and
emotional events, thus downplaying or overlooking the aBective and
emotional reality of these events, relegating them instead to the domain of
thoughts and intellect.

UndiQerentiated Experience: Given their inner barrenness, schizoid


individuals tend to have a feeble drive to ful@ll their needs. Either they feel
minimal pressure to defend against or resolve internal conHicts or to cope
with external demands. Hence, many are not very motivated to pursue their
dreams.

Apathetic Mood: People with schizoid personality features tend to be


emotionally unexcitable. Others report that they often exhibit an unfeeling,
cold, and stark quality. Schizoids usually report weak aBectionate or erotic
needs, they rarely display warm or intense feelings, and they are apparently
unable to deeply experience most common aBects such as pleasure,
sadness, and anger. Hence, they may feel that nothing seems to excite them.
