Which of the following is NOT characteristic of people with obsessive-compulsive personality disorder?

A) intrusive, unwanted thoughts
B) a desire for perfection
C) rigidity and inflexibility
D) preoccupation with rules and order
E) being moralistic and judgmental

Intrusive, unwanted thoughts are more characteristic of individuals with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) rather than obsessive-compulsive personality disorder (OCPD). OCPD is marked by a pervasive pattern of preoccupation with orderliness, perfectionism, and control. People with OCPD tend to be rigid, inflexible, and overly focused on rules and details, often at the expense of flexibility and efficiency. They may also be moralistic and judgmental of others. However, they do not typically experience the intrusive, unwanted thoughts or compulsive behaviors that are hallmarks of OCD.
