Personality as a Composite of Traits

This article is a bit longer then the ones I usually post, but I found it VERY interesting. It focuses on the difference between the diagnosis of personality types/disorders that used to be prevalent in the psychological world and the emerging scale methods which judges traits to be healthy or unhealthy depending on one's lifestyle and environment.  If you read it I would love to hear your thoughts!

Am I Normal?: A more organic take on human nature is emerging. It sees
behavior as a product of distinct personality traits that we
all have to a greater or lesser degree. In this new view, we're
all just a little bit crazy.
