Schizotypal personality disorder differs fundamentally from the other personality disorders due to its distinctive cognitive-perceptual symptoms, such as ideas of reference and sensory distortions.

These symptoms can include the belief that irrelevant events are somehow related to them, a preoccupation with supernatural phenomena, and unusual sensory experiences, like seeing things in the peripheral vision that aren't visible with a direct gaze. The disorder also involves eccentric behavior, significant social anxiety, and a preference for social isolation.
