'''Schizoid personality disorder''' is the personality disorder that results when a person is completely without God, when the light (per Matthew 5:14) is completely absent from them. It is the personality of the most unreachable, incorrigible atheist naturalist nerds. It is the extreme form of the '[[incurvatus in se]]' spoken of by [[Martin Luther]].

Schizoid personality disorder is described by the American Psychiatric Association's Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM) as:
*A. A pervasive pattern of detachment from social relationships and a restricted range of expression of emotions in interpersonal settings, beginning by early adulthood (age eighteen or older) and present in a variety of contexts, as indicated by four (or more) of the following:
**1.neither desires nor enjoys close relationships, including being part of a family
**2.almost always chooses solitary activities
**3.has little, if any, interest in having sexual experiences with another person
**4.takes pleasure in few, if any, activities
**5.lacks close friends or confidants other than first-degree relatives
**6.appears indifferent to the praise or criticism of others
**7.shows emotional coldness, detachment, or flattened affect
*B. Does not occur exclusively during the course of schizophrenia, a mood disorder with psychotic features, another psychotic disorder, or a pervasive developmental disorder and is not due to the direct physiological effects of a general medical condition.

Schizoid personality disorder is described by the World Health Organization's International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems (ICD) as:
*It is characterized by at least three of the following criteria:
**1.Emotional coldness, detachment or reduced affection.
**2.Limited capacity to express either positive or negative emotions towards others.
**3.Consistent preference for solitary activities.
**4.Very few, if any, close friends or relationships, and a lack of desire for such.
**5.Indifference to either praise or criticism.
**6.Taking pleasure in few, if any, activities.
**7.Indifference to social norms and conventions.
**8.Preoccupation with fantasy and introspection.
**9.Lack of desire for sexual experiences with another person.

In both manuals, schizoid personality disorder is denoted by the disease code number 301.2.
