A review of the relationship between the new ICD 11 personality disorder classification system and the study of cultural influences on behaviour will be presented. The ICD 11 system offers significant advantages over previous classifications and aligns with models of normal personality such as the Five Factor model, which are widely used in cultural psychiatry. A new brief screening instrument for ICD 11 personality will be presented, which has been used in population studies. The author helped develop the measure and was also on the WHO ICD 11 Personality Disorder committee.
