INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE TEST


    This test produces a Freudian analysis for men.  After twenty
 years of doing psychotherapy Sigmund Freud candidly admitted
 that he simply didn't understand women and I can't say I really
 do either.  Of course women can take this test but they will be
 evaluated as men.
     You might be able to get a personality profile of friends by
 answering the questions as you think they would answer them.
  Such scores should not be taken too seriously since how you
 think they would answer and how they actually would answer may
 be wildly different.
     Come to think of it don't take any scores, yours or friends,
 very seriously.  Unlike tests you've taken in school to see how
 well you've mastered a subject psychological tests point rather
 than measure. Psychological professionals use tests to find
 areas that MIGHT be good places to start counseling (or
 therapy.)

    The test is made of multiple choice questions.  Try to answer
 all the questions.  The more questions you answer the better
 your personality can be evaluated.
     Be honest since dishonest answers will give you a dishonest
 result.
     It is important that you copy the numbers of the final
 result since they are the key to scoring your psychological
 profile.

WHAT DOES IT ALL MEAN?

     Freud said that we are all mixtures of three personality
 types.  An ideal person would have an equal portion of each type
 making up his personality.  This person would have the greatest
 chance of getting along well and finding happiness.
 Psychologists estimate that only one or two people per hundred
 are actually like this.
     So what about the rest of us?  Life is one challenge after
 another and the better we can handle the challenges the better
 we can get through life.  Each personality type has a fairly
 rigid way of taking on challenges.  If their way doesn't match
 the challenge then the challenge overcomes them.  Having a
 balanced personality means being flexible enough to meet
 challenges.
       The sections following this introduction describe the
 personality types.  I'll generally call them the f1, f3 and f5
 types since those were the keys you used to answer the
 questions.  To get an idea of how to evaluate your psychological
 profile let's look at an example of Joe's scores.
      Imagine scores scores of 15 for f1, 24 for f3, and 9 for
 f5.  An ideal score would be 16 for each.  Since the f1 score is
 almost perfect Joe has little to worry about there.  If a
 situation came up requiring an f1 type solution he could handle
 it.
     F3 and f5 are pretty far off.  From reading the explanations
 Joe sees that an f3 personality is very dependent and has low
 self esteem.   An f5 is very rigid but has the self confidence
 to stick by decisions no matter what.  Joe interprets the test
 results as meaning that he is more capable than he gives himself
 credit for (but because of the high f3 component doesn't believe
 it.)  The low f5 score shows that he sometimes gets so caught up
 in the small parts of issues that he never decides if they are
 right or wrong.
     That's certainly not a very complimentary view is it?  It's
 not supposed to be.  If Joe wants to improve my life he wants to
 change the negative parts rather than the positive ones.
     This brings up the hardest part of the test: HONESTY.  If a
 statement turns you off or actually offends you is it because it
 doesn't apply to you or because it applies exactly and truth
 hurts?


TYPE f1   PHALLIC (DON JUAN)

     This type of man is least likely to believe this test and
 will actually be insulted by it.
     Freudians call him a "phallic narcissist" or Don Juan.
  Early in life he was trained to receive inordinate amounts of
 praise.  The need for praise and acceptance is still the driving
 force in his life.
     This man is a make-out artist and is very charming.  He is
 so because he has devoted so much time to becoming that way.
  Sex instruction books are probably his favorite reading.
  Chances are that he has a large collection of pornography.
     He sees himself as being a god and other people as things to
 be used.  Behind the charm he projects is a core of solid
 self-centeredness.  He has a basic insecurity that craves
 attention and acceptance by others.  If this need can't be met
 he may retreat to fantasies and daydreams.  The fantasy world
 may be more important to him than the real world.
     This man is a natural leader and, under the right
 conditions, can become a hero.  Under the wrong conditions he is
 a minor tyrant who will find admiration through ANY means
 available.  If this man can't be head of things he tends to sulk
 and act like a spoiled child.  He needs immediate reward and
 can't abide postponed gratification.
     He is excited by new sex partners and the idea of getting a
 new partner is more exciting than sex itself.  Sexual relations
 tend to fall apart since his joy is in the chase rather than th
e victory.  If he is heterosexual he will seek multiorgasmic
 woman since they help him project his manly image.  If he is
 homosexual then he is the swishiest type.  In either case the
 drive is for exhibitionism and he loves to talk about his sexual
 exploits.
     He will rise fast in a corporate structure -- provided his
 boss praises him adequately and his subordinates show that the
y realize how brilliant he is.  He can't tolerate criticism at
 all.  Interestingly enough he will not be aware of this.  This
 man can lead a company to riches or just as easily destroy it.
  It is almost impossible to get him to pass on bad news if it
 reflects on his previous decisions.  Rather than accept bad news
 he may sulk or go into a fantasy world, either of which can
 destroy a company.
     He will NEVER admit to being neurotic or having any
 psychological problems. If he sees a psychotherapist it will
 probably be when he is in his midforties.  He will go because of
 psychosomatic medical problems (migraine headaches are the most
 common problem) which doctors can't treat.  Usually any type of
 psychotherapy will be ineffective since this type of person,
 rather than gain insight, will simply decide that
 psychotherapists are stupid.  This is the general defense
 against anyone who tries to make him take an honest look at
 himself.

     Exhibitionism is important to him and he will always be in
 the latest style.  There is not much chance that he will become
 a drug addict or alcoholic.  However he may drink to excess at
 times to show he can hold as much alcohol as anyone.  He will be
 the first to want to try a new drug.
     He prefers sex with the lights on.  Due to his active
 fantasy life he will probably continue masturbation after
 adolescence even though he has a reliable lover.  His fantasies
 will possibly include mild sadism and having a harem.  He loves
 oral sex.
     He may feel that, in the words of David Merrick, "It is not
 enough for me to succeed, it is also necessary for others to
 fail."  His ultimate goal is praise and his ultimate fear is of
 not being the best.  At his worst he will screw over anybody to
 get what he wants.  At his best he is a model citizen, faithful
 husband, good father, and excellent leader.
      Even though this man is a sexual athlete he will probably
 marry eventually.  This is because marriage is in style,
 especially corporate style, and he feels he should.  If his wife
 and children can give him the praise and attention he needs the
 marriage will go well.
      In a good marriage he may feel secure since his needs for
 attention are being met.  If he achieves this feeling he may be
 able to take a hard look at himself and start to grow.  True
 growth is achieved only when he becomes a mature adult rather
 than plastic god.
      He seeks people-oriented jobs and positions that let him be
 a leader.


TYPE f3   ORAL

      This type of man is most likely to believe this test,
 especially the negative parts.
       Freudians say he has an "oral personality".  His life is
 dedicated to finding love and proving himself inferior.
       He always seems to have something in his mouth: food,
 cigarettes, his own fingernails, pencils, etc.  His personality
 formed in early childhood either from a mother who was neurotic
 and overindulged him or a mother who rejected his normal
 dependency needs.  It seems he spends his life looking for a
 mother.
       He is a good partner for a Don Juan (type f1) since he is
 sincere in his flattery.  If such a relationship breaks down,
 the Don Juan claims he is fed up with having to solve all of our
 man's problems.  The oral personality then feels betrayed and
 the relationship ends.  If the relationship is homosexual the
 trust-betrayal game is played to the hilt.
      If the man is heterosexual he will tend to treat a woman as
 a goddess.  He usually doesn't have potency problems though he
 tends to worry about potency a lot.  During sex the fact that
 his partner cares for him is more important than anything else.
      He will never really believe he is good at sex.  If a lover
 tells him he was good he feels she says it to avoid hurting him
 with the truth.  If she says he was bad it simply confirms his
 self doubts.  Due to his self doubts he feels any fault is his
 rather than his partner's.  This is the opposite of the Don
 Juan.  The oral personality has strong masochistic elements.
      He feels inferior to everyone and tells the world he is
 inferior.  He broadcasts the message that he is below everyone's
 league so he should be treated with special care and
 consideration.  Interestingly enough most of the world believes
 him and acts accordingly.  He actually gets along quite well.
  His major strength is his weakness.
      In a difficult situation a Don Juan (type f1) will quickl
y convince himself he is in control even if he isn't.  The oral
 man will simply expect to lose and promptly admit defeat.  Since
 he doesn't like difficult situations anyhow the instant defea
t keeps him out of them.  This is a major psychological victory.
      This man is easily cheated and will generally not react to
 the situation.  If circumstances are such that subconsciously he
 realizes that the cheater cheated unintentionally (innocent
 broken promises, etc.) then he will probably throw a temper
 tantrum.
      Friends are very important to him and he tends to form very
 deep warm friendships.  He has a huge need for support and love
.  No matter how well loved he is he will always feel undeserving
 of the love.  He lives in constant fear that the love may be
 withdrawn.  He is good at giving unselfishly.
      He has little inclination towards using any kind of drug
 but if he should be talked into trying something he may well
 become addicted to it.
      If he has artistic talent he is fortunate since he can then
 use it to live in a fantasy world of his own creation.  Knowing
 that his art, like anything he produces, is inferior he won't
 show it to the public.  If friends take it from him and display
 it to the public he will remember only the bad reviews (often
 for years.)
      In a typical marriage his wife will be the one to make all
 the decisions both in and out of bed.  His best marriage bet is
 with an oral personality woman.  The partners then take turn
s playing either Mother or Inferior Person.  The personality i
s such that playing Mother is easy.  Things will be fine unless
 both decide to play the inferior role at the same time.
      Cunnilingus is absolutely his favorite form of sex.
      This type of person is capable of flashes of astounding
 psychological insight.  Usually he keeps insights to himself but
 once in a while they slip out.  Perhaps he's a bit drunk at a
 party and his guard drops.  The insights into other's
 personalities hit like a nuclear missile and the victim may feel
 the man is telepathic.
      This man lives in psychological hiding afraid to face the
 world.  He does a great deal of nonproductive self-analysis and
 is a sucker for the latest pop psychology fads.  He is a very
 good follower, especially of someone who claims to be godlike
 (Hitler for example.)
      Of course this review of his personality is harsh.  However
 in his infinite capacity to think badly of himself an oral man
 would happily accept it and memorize the worst parts for future
 use.


TYPE f5   THE ANAL PERSONALITY

       This man will probably believe all the other parts of this
 test but only the sections of this part that deal with strength
 of character.
       This is the most inflexible of the personality types and
 the most authoritarian.  His main drive is making sure that he
 is moral.  He believes that his way of life is absolutely right
 and that everyone should live by his moral standards.  He is
 most comfortable in situations that require clear cut choices
 that are either plainly right or wrong.
       In a corporation this man will probably be either in the
 financial or science department.  In education he is the teacher
 who flunks the most students.  He can happily be a policeman,
 clergyman, or social activist.
      Since he feels he can make judgments that are absolutely
 right (ie moral) he tends to make harsh, unpopular decisions.
  He can be a nuisance especially as a religious or political
 fanatic (Lenin is a good example.)  On the other hand since he
 can stick to decisions against all odds he can do a great deal
 of public good.
      He is carrying on the tradition of his parents who were
 probably both as authoritarian as he is.  As a child he always
 seemed older than his peers simply because he was more reserved
 and less spontaneous.  If he rebelled against his parents and
 their morals he simply adopted a different set of morals and now
 adheres to them as strongly and inflexibly as his parents did to
 theirs.
      He feels it is his duty to run other's lives his way.
  Interestingly enough he can be very immoral in the way he seeks
 to make other's follow his morals.  The immorality he sees in
 others is simply a subconscious projection of his own unwanted
 sex drive.  To him the world is populated with scapegoats.
      This man is good researcher, especially when producin
g lists, but is not very creative.  In an argument he tends to
 flatten the opposition by listing the points in favor of his
 view.  Usually these points are counted off one at a time on the
 fingers.  He does not understand any of the other psychological
 types.  He feels Don Juans (type f1) are too impulsive and lack
 control.  Oral personalities (type f3) are seen as being too
 shy.  He may tend to punish either type because he doesn't agree
 with them.  In a corporation he tends to hold back those who
 make impulsive decisions and sees that weak and unproductive
 people are fired.  He can't work in any position that requires
 creativity or vision.
    This man can't reconcile pleasure so he must rationalize it
.  For instance he couldn't swim for fun.  He would have to
 rationalize it to Keeping-In-Shape before he could do it.  Sex
 also has to be rationalized.  Since he can't ever really relax
 he tends to ejaculate prematurely or simply be impotent.
    Some women shy away from his authoritarianism while others,
 oral types, see a strong father image and are attracted.  Since
 oral types are dependent and anal types want others to be
 Adults, an oral-anal relationship probably won't last.  Having a
 frigid wife probably wouldn't bother him.  If he is homosexual
 he will be in a monogamous relationship and probably quietly
 contribute money to gay activist groups.
    Probably he would show little interest in sex that was the
 least bit kinky.  He tends not to drink or use drugs.
    As he reaches middle age he may realize that he has lived his
 life in a prison he has built around himself.  He may be able to
 kill this realization and continue life as before or he may
 enter psychoanalysis.  Or he may decide he has missed life and
 that he needs to make up for lost time.  If this happens he will
 start to live out everything he has repressed.  This can destroy
 his marriage and lifestyle.
    While Don Juans (type f1) deny all weaknesses, and oral
 personalities (type f3) feel weaknesses are permanent, the ana
l personality both sees and fights weaknesses.  Unfortunately the
 weaknesses in himself that he fights or either minor or simply
 nonexistent.  He spends a great deal of time fighting.  His
 major weakness is that he, like everyone else, is simply human.
  He denies this and constantly reaches for some ill defined and
 unachievable moral goal.
