Psychoticism

Psychoticism is a personality trait associated with a tendency toward impulsivity, hostility, and sometimes unconventional or eccentric behaviors. It reflects a person's inclination towards traits like aggressiveness, mistrust, and a lack of empathy, which can be linked to certain mental health conditions such as psychosis. While not everyone high in psychoticism will develop such problems, they may be more prone to experiences like delusional thinking or social alienation. It's one aspect of personality used in psychological assessments to understand individual differences in behavior and thought patterns.
