Melodrama--you need to be the center of attention.
Volatility--you're subject to mood swings.
Excessive Caution--you're afraid to make decisions.
Habitual Distrust--you focus on the negatives.
Aloofness --you're disengaged and disconnected. Mischievousness--you believe that rules are made to be broken.
Eccentricity--you try to be different just for the sake of it.
