> Dear Rich,

> Millon on page 504 describes the D-M personality as 'unconsciously encouraging others to take advantage of them'; so I would suggest that its - as the name implies - a maschochistic personality with depressive traits.
***** I agree with you about this. Edward had a rep as international playboy, in the 1920s & 1930s. Its just that looking at the Various Millon subtypes for both the dpressive, and masochsitic, I didn't see one that seemed to excatly apply....

> The ascetic Depressive Personality seems to be on the other side of the 'border' in the continuum; the plodding on and ascetism definitely has a self-suffering tinge!
***** This part, I can see in myself; the asetic part, the masochisitic part, NO.... The HOME should always be comfortable & supportive! Rich

> All character styles are interrelated more or less, and the more I use the Oldham questionnair, the more I get convinced that one style is really only the top of the mountain, with 2-4 styles being very important too (either very high or very low).

> The Oldham questionnair is really very helpful in seeing if a person is disorderly; most healthy people have scores However I have used the Oldham questionnaire only 15 times now, which clearly is to little to say something definite on this.
