What personality type is Depersonalized Schizoid? Depersonalized Schizoid is an personality type in MBTI, 9w1 - sx/sp - 954 in Enneagram, in Big 5, SLI in Socionics.

"This variant of the schizoid is notable by the individual’s dreamily distant qualities. Upon initial observation, one might think that these schizoids are enjoying the contemplation of some inner vision, some inner reality that draws them more and more into their isolated state. As with other schizoids, they are extremely inattentive and disengaged from the real world. But more than the others, they have not only deteriorated into a state of obliviousness, appearing as if they were preoccupied inwardly but, in fact, they are preoccupied with nothing in particular. Though present in the world of others, they appear to be staring into empty space, relating neither to the actions and feelings of others, nor to those that emanate from within themselves. These features bring this schizoid into a close amalgamation with the schizotypal personality such that many of their characteristics blend and unite. As with many others who experience depersonalization, these schizoids are very much ‘‘outside observers,’’ viewing themselves as distant objects, disembodied and vacant as phenomena unconnected to their own feelings and thoughts. They have drifted into a state in which they ignore not only external phenomena but those that emanate from within themselves. Disconnected from whatever is tangible and real in the world, including their own corporeal being, they are also not preoccupied with their own imagination and fantasies. They are much like sleepwalkers who have a physical presence but are totally unaware of what they are doing and what they are thinking or feeling. Despite their inward turning, thoughts and feelings are little more than a diffuse vagueness, an unclear and fuzzy set of disconnected ideas, an inchoate woolgathering, if you will. Not only are their internal processes undefined and diffuse, but their obscurity and their inability to relate leads others to sense increasingly that something is missing within them. Not only are they a million miles away, unrelated and unfocused in their human interactions, but their inner world appears equally distant and obscure, if not largely absent."
