Evaluate the article
I think the lead section of this article is good. It starts off by defining what an addictive personality is in the first sentence. The lead section also discusses the different types of addictions people commonly suffer from. The lead section gives the reader a good general overview of what the article covers.

The content of this article is relevant to the topic. The article includes content on the factors behind having an addictive personality, personality traits associated with addiction, and the controversy around whether having an addictive personality actually exists. The content of this article also appears to be up to date.

The article additionally covers the controversy of whether having an addictive personality really exists. The article covers both sides of the argument, although the article covers more about the traits behind having an addictive personality. The article covers both sides but just spends more time talking about the traits behind an addictive personality.

The article cites 36 sources ranging in dates of when they were published. Some are relatively current dating back to 2018 while others are less current dating back to the 1990s. The links in the references do work, and they all appear to be relevant to addictive personality, what the article is about.

The article is organized well. The article is separated into sections about different aspects of addictive personalities, making it easy to find information if you are looking for a specific section. I find the article to be easy to read.

The article does not have any images or media.

The article's talk page has quite a few revision suggestions, some dating back to 2011. These suggestions relate to grammar, citations, and overall the organization of the article. It appears that many people have modified and revised the article as these suggestions have been made.

The strengths of this article are that it is informative, easy to understand, and organized. To improve this article I would suggest adding media.
