Question

When considering personality disorder–trait specified, traits like grandiosity, deceitfulness, and manipulativeness would all fall under the trait of?

Answer 1

Grandiosity, deceit and manipulation are treats commonly associated with a narcissistic personality disorder.

People who display this type of disorder consider themselves uniquely special and superior to others. They may often talk about fantasies of their beauty, intelligence either to likeminded people they may be drawn to or potential admirers. Sufferers feed their egos on praise and may display manipulative behaviours if their demands for attention are not properly met.

Deceit can come in the form of deliberate crafting of stories or excuses as ways to evade signaling against a perfect self-image.

Both the causes of this disorder and ways to treat it effectively remain subjects of study given the multitude of converging factors and natural challenges for self-examination respectively.

Answer 2

The personality disorder-trait in which this symptoms fall under is Antagonism. According to the DSM5 (The most current versión of the diagnostic & statistical manual of mental disorders), Antagonism is one of the five broad personality trait domains. People with the antagonism trait are individuals who exhibit an exaggerated sense of self-importance, and strong antipathy for others feelings and needs, including a strong tendency to the manipulation of others for their own selfish purposes.
