PSYCHOLOGY AND SOCIOLOGY
I refuse to endure months of expensive humiliation from a psychoanalyst only to be told that at the age of four I was in love with my rocking-horse.

PERSONALITY TESTS by Robert Allen
Much of literature and film is based on the unconscious expectations we form surrounding a character, and this is based on ancient ideas about personality types. Freud and Jung developed personality theory further by the introduction of the ego and the unconscious, while in our own day the Myers-Briggs analysis is
frequently used in therapy, distinguishing between whether judgment or perception is dominant. The author addresses issues such as whether a person can change, ways of creating a test, and the principles of graphology. The 49 tests cover areas common in professional psychometric testing, but go beyond it into happiness, fulfilment, religion and sense of humour. The tests conclude with group games.
