Personality "styles": the healthy version of each personality disorder

I came across something interesting that I wanted to share, which is the idea of personality "styles". This concept comes from the work of Len Sperry, who is one of the leading experts on personality disorders.

The idea is that personality exists on a continuum. For each personality "disorder", there is a corresponding personality "style" that represents a healthier, more adaptive version of that same set of tendencies that is worth aiming towards.

Here is what I appreciate about this:

• It doesn't unrealistically expect people to become something the opposite of who they naturally are.
  
• It doesn't impose a "one-size-fits-all" standard for what it means to live in a healthy or happy way.

Personality disorders are often described in terms of diagnostic criteria that represent different "maladaptive" tendencies. Below are charts that show for each tendency what the healthy or "adaptive" version of that tendency looks like.

These charts come from the 3rd edition of Len Sperry's Diagnosis and Treatment of DSM-5 Personality Disorders. Special thanks to @RarelyCharlie for finding and providing them HERE.
