Freudian Inventory Results

Genital (53%) you appear to be stuck between destructive and constructive outlooks. Latency (36%) you appear to have an irrational view on the value of learning. Phallic (66%) you appear to have issues with controlling your sexual desires and possibly fidelity. Anal (50%) you appear to have a good balance of self control and spontaneity. Oral (30%) you appear to be stubbornly and irrationally against receiving help even when it might be the more intelligent option.

Now what the heck means this Latency thingy? (I can tell that I value learning almost above everything else, but what does the test say? :) Everything else, well...I don't have issues with controlling my sexuality - but maybe my surrounding *chuckles*


The theory, according to the website:
Freuds theorized that there are 5 stages of psychological development. At the oral stage the main issue is dependency, at the anal stage the main issue is self control, at the phallic stage the main issue is sexual identity, at the latency stage it's skill development, and at the genital stage its creativity and productivity.

Freud theorized that psychological problems are related to problems during one or more of these stages. For example, being too cared for or too neglected causes someone to be orally fixated, too much or too little control causes someone to be anally fixated, insufficient parental role modeling causes phallic fixation.

An orally fixated person is either irrationally dependent (expects what they want to just appear) or irrationally independent (always refuses help).

An anally fixated person is either irrationally self controlled and servile to authority or has no self control and is compulsively defiant of authority.

A phallicly fixated person is either a sexual compulsive (sexually innappropriate/promiscuous) or sexually repressed.

Freud did not classify any latent fixation but I think it is as plausible as those at the other stages. I speculate that people that like to learn and acquire knowledge without any purpose or people that are compulsively non curious represent both dysfunctional ends of the latency spectrum.

The genital stage is the final Freudian developmental stage and according to Freud people don't all succeed at this. Freud believed the ideal for human happiness is to be happy in love and work, problems in one or the other cause unhappiness.

Like any personality system, Freud's developmental levels are just a theory, so, be speculative about your results.

PASSIVE??!?!? GIVEN TO ME?!?!? Crimeny, I left home and have been working since 15. Now, I can deal with the modifier "wanting"--hey, who wouldn't pass up a free million or so?--but I can hardly see that counting.

The rest? Eh, Freud. Like a fortune cookie, vaugue enough that I won't quibble.
