Extreme personality poses risk of ADHD, conduct disorder

inattention or impulsivity. Conduct disorder affects about 13 percent of children and adolescents and is characterized by severe misbehavior including chronic lying, setting fires, destroying property or hurting animals.

The researchers analyzed personality data from 1,438 sets of same-sex, reared-together 11-year-old and 17-year-old male and female twins who participated in the Minnesota Twin Family Study. The rate of ADHD, conduct disorder and the co-occurrence of both was about the same as is found in the general population, Taylor said. Those who did not have symptoms of the disorders served as the control group.

The connection between personality and the disorders is clear, but more research will have to be done to determine whether the personality traits are shaped by the psychological disorders or vice versa.

"Developmentally, it makes sense that the personality comes first," she said. "But to say that one causes the other is too simplistic. I think they become intertwined."
