Histrionics can be warm, colorful, interesting, engaging, and emotionally responsive; typically, they have a good sense of humor. They easily adapt to new situations and, at least superficially, appear to have little difficulty interacting with and becoming close with others. Elevations on Histrionic are associated with an above-average number of positive life events, low levels of distress, and good social adjustment. As a result, if Histrionic is the only elevated scale, it should not be used to suggest a personality disorder, but more a style of adapting.
