Talk:Szondi test

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

(I studied the Szondi test in the 1950s, so do not dare to correct what I think is a major misunderstanding in Wikipedia's Szondi test article by editing it.)

Based on how I understood Szondi's Schicksalsanalyse in the early edition then available, he took sadism with "homosexuality" as its opposite pole, and the katatonic-paranoiac and the manic-depressive polarities, to be present in various strength and in various proportions in perhaps all human individuals, their extremes creating psychiatric disturbances that, according to Szondi, were reflected in the psychiatric patients' faces. Yhe faces you liked were reflecting an extreme degree of a drive that you accepted/liked in yourself; the faces you disliked reflected a drive or tendency inside you that you feared or were endangered by. You would neither much like nor dislike a person similar to you in his/her emotional setup. Svato 03:12, 18 February 2007 (UTC)
