Patients often present distinct personality traits and psychopathological patterns associated with symptom severity. Objective: To examine psychopathological profiles in FM patients based on functional, physical\u2013somatic, and emotional impairment domains, as well as on cumulative disease severity. Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted with 70 women clinically diagnosed with FM at a specialized Fibromyalgia Unit. Psychological functioning was assessed using the Personality Assessment Inventory, and disease impact was measured with the Fibromyalgia Impact Questionnaire. Hierarchical cluster analyses were used to classify participants into mild and severe clusters across FIQ domains, and psychological profiles were compared. Results: Patients with severe functional impairment had more affective dysregulation (76.43 vs. 70.20, p &lt; 0.01) and somatic complaints (85.57 vs. 79.76, p &lt; 0.05) than those with mild impairment. The severe\u2013physical cluster showed greater mood instability, somatization, and suicidal ideation (60.94 vs. 53.61, p &lt; 0.05). The severe\u2013emotional cluster had higher rates of major depression (85.71% vs. 64.28%) and persistent depressive disorder (76.19% vs. 70.61%, p &lt; 0.05). Severe showed more emotional instability and somatization, distinguishing it from mild. Greater cumulative severity intensified depressive and somatic disorders. Discussion: Findings support FM\u2019s biopsychosocial profile, where emotional distress may relate to psychological and physical symptoms, reinforcing the need for personalized, multidisciplinary care and comprehensive assessment.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/ejihpe15080149","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,8,1]],"date-time":"2025-08-01T06:37:47Z","timestamp":1754030267000},"page":"149","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Personality Assessment Inventory in Fibromyalgia: Links to Functional, Physical\u2013Somatic, and Emotional Impact"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"15","author":[{"given":"Andrea","family":"Doreste","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Clinical and Health Psychology, Universitat Aut\u00f2noma de Barcelona, 08193 Barcelona, Spain"},{"name":"MRI Research Unit, Radiology Department, Hospital del Mar, 08003 Barcelona, Spain"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jesus","family":"Pujol","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"MRI Research Unit, Radiology Department, Hospital del Mar, 08003 Barcelona, Spain"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6796-7660","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Eva","family":"Penelo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Departament de Psicobiologia I de Metodologia de les Ci\u00e8ncies de la Salut, Universitat Aut\u00f2noma de Barcelona, 08193 Barcelona, Spain"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"V\u00edctor","family":"P\u00e9rez","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Neurociences Research Unit, IMIM\u2014Institut Hospital del Mar d\u2019Investigacions M\u00e8diques, 08003 Barcelona, Spain"},{"name":"Department of Experimental and Health Sciences, Pompeu Fabra University, 08002 Barcelona, Spain"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Laura","family":"Blanco-Hinojo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"MRI Research Unit, Radiology Department, Hospital del Mar, 08003 Barcelona, Spain"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8948-4918","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Gerard","family":"Mart\u00ednez-Vilavella","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"MRI Research Unit, Radiology Department, Hospital del Mar, 08003 Barcelona, Spain"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6734-9288","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Fabiola","family":"Ojeda","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Rheumatology Department, Hospital del Mar, 08003 Barcelona, Spain"},{"name":"Cell Research on Inflammation and Cartilage, Programa de Recerca Cl\u00ednica Tanslacional, Research Mar, 08003 Barcelona, Spain"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jordi","family":"Monfort","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Rheumatology Department, Hospital del Mar, 08003 Barcelona, Spain"},{"name":"Cell Research on Inflammation and Cartilage, Programa de Recerca Cl\u00ednica Tanslacional, Research Mar, 08003 Barcelona, Spain"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3305-2662","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Joan","family":"Deus","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Clinical and Health Psychology, Universitat Aut\u00f2noma de Barcelona, 08193 Barcelona, Spain"},{"name":"MRI Research Unit, Radiology Department, Hospital del Mar, 08003 Barcelona, Spain"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,8,1]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Adawi, M., Chen, W., Bragazzi, N.
