Typically, elevations on Compulsive are not accompanied by elevations on other scales. However, when comorbid conditions do occur, the most frequent Axis I problems are generalized anxiety disorders (check Anxiety scale) and depression, particularly of an agitated nature (check Dysthymia and, possibly, Major Depression scales). Compared to other personality disorders, compulsives tend to be a better defined population as there is less overlap with other personality disorders. Nonetheless, associated eleva- tions can occur with Schizoid (see section on Schizoid), Dependent (see section on De- pendent), Histrionic (see section on Histrionic), Antisocial (see section on Antisocial), Avoidant, and Narcissistic. Concurrent elevations on Avoidant indicate that these indi- viduals would like to obtain the warmth and affection of others. However, they are ex- tremely hesitant to do so because people are perceived as unpredictable and emotional. Both these aspects of relationships are experienced as risky and are likely to arouse sig- nificant anxiety. Compulsives have learned to minimize risk by becoming perfectionis- tic and relating in a distant, aloof manner. Elevations with Compulsive and Narcissistic suggest individuals who are confident, defensive, and unlikely to concede that they have made a mistake. They strongly rely on their own ideas and are likely to have difficulty accepting the advice, suggestions, and especially the orders of others. Individuals per- ceive them as inflexible, formal, proper, and distant. As a result, they have difficulty working in supportive team environments where mutual respect and consensus building are crucial factors.
