How Freud Sees Me
I am very hungry in this class. However it is wrong and rude to eat while the teacher is talking. I will eat right after the period is over or the teacher stops talking.
Costa and McCrae have the idea of the big five personality traits. These are openness to exposure, extraversion, conscientiousness, agreeableness and neuroticism. I consider myself agreeable.
How Eysenck sees me
Adler believes that birth order effects ones personality. I am the youngest so I am funny and outgoing.
How Horney Sees Me
I am showing compassion and love
Freud believes in the id (primitive desires), superego (morality), and ego, the middle road of the two. Here the id is telling me to eat during class. The superego says to not do so due to it being rude. The ego says to wait until the teacher is done or class is over.
Eysenck believes that our personality is based upon two dimensions of extraversion vs introversion and emotional stability vs instability. I consider myself fairly introverted. This means I gain energy from the inner world.
Horney believed that the interaction between parent and child determined your personality. If one does not receive the love they need they may withdraw from people.
