Practice question · Select all that apply
Select every statement that is TRUE about psychoanalytic views of personality.
Hints
- Only one option is false; find the misattribution of introversion-extraversion.
- That concept came from Jung, not the Big Five.
Show the answer
- A. Freud tied personality to the balance among id, ego, and superego.
- C. Horney's three neurotic trends are moving toward, against, and away from people.
- D. Someone whose conscience never stops speaking becomes rigid and moralistic.
- E. Jung introduced the introversion-extraversion dimension.
Why
The id/ego/superego balance, Jung's dimension, Horney's three trends, and the superego-dominant personality are all true. The Big Five did NOT invent introversion-extraversion (Jung did) - the one false option.
