And I worded my post badly. I didn't mean to imply neuroticism as a personality trait implied neurotic disorder. I was actually referring to pop-psychological empahasis on neuroticism and introversion. It's one of my pet bugaboos -- the common idea that if one is introverted or neurotic (or both), then they are not mentally well adjusted.
BTW: I'm aware of a number of studies in the past decade that show personality isn't necessarily as fixed as Adler, et. al. believed. Is the repeated emphasis on personality as static just bad reporting or is this still the consensus view?
