Yeah I've seen research out of Iran on this before. There's another study they have that shows a link to narcissism.

Course since it's from Iran most people will just dismiss the findings outright, that's a great time to pull out the "you are racist/islamaphobic card" to derail the conversation since it's gonna get derailed anyway so you might as well put them on the defensive.

I mean, these cluster B's are on full display and anyone with even a rudimentary understanding of them can see it immediately in these people. This just confirms what everyone who gets it has been saying. Good luck getting any "woke" establishment to give it any credence though.

It's important to remember that not everyone who is considered to have a Cluster B personality disorder is necessarily a bad person. In fact, many people with these disorders can be very successful and charming. However, it's also important to be aware of the potential risks associated with these disorders, and to take steps to protect yourself if you're in a relationship with someone who has one. One of the biggest challenges in dealing with someone with a Cluster B personality disorder is that they may not be aware of their own behavior, or they may not be willing to admit that they have a problem. This can make it difficult to get them the help they need. Additionally, people with these disorders may be manipulative and controlling, which can make it difficult to maintain a healthy relationship with them. If you're in a relationship with someone who you believe may have a Cluster B personality disorder, it's important to seek professional help. A therapist can help you to understand the disorder and its impact on your relationship, and they can also provide you with strategies for coping with the challenges that you may face.

I do think we should discount all from Iran . So it had a study you agree with? Will you discount ones you disagree with, like I bet they have studies showing whites are infidels and sharia is good.

Sure but again it's all gotta be evidence. I very much doubt that the evidence for such a study would be convincing to me but there's probably still some interesting data to be gleaned from it.

There's all sorts of christian studies that purport similar findings that just so happen to coincide with a traditionalist christian viewpoint, which naturally you need to be critical of the study and analyze the methods used, but if we simply throw out the study in the first place simply because it was put out by people we may disagree with we really are no better than what we claim to be against.

In the case of Iran, I would be very critical of their findings, but it's important to recognize that as they are kinda outside the western bubble and have due to their religious beliefs and a quirk of their culture accepted transition as an acceptable alternative to death for homosexuals for a long time now, they probably have a lot of useful data from an entirely different perspective than the west does.

Have you actually read Iran's supposed study. I doubt it'd be English for one thing.

Clearly you haven't.

I'll take that as a no. Starting to doubt it exists.

Did you even look at the link? It's clearly not in farsi.

[–]Jiminy 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (1 child)

There's no link

There's a study in the main link it's in English.

Here it is again.

Here's western research.

Still high on the personality disorders but leaning more to BPD, maybe because it's a more popular diagnosis in the states.
