Freud Inventory Test Results
Note: I was offend at the dirty words used, but after getting over that was rather impressed at the acuracy of the test. If your interested the address is http://similarminds.com/cgi-bin/freud.pl

Oral (dependence) |||||||||| 33%
Anal (self control) |||||||||||||| 53%
Phallic (sexuality) || 10%
Latency (learning) |||||||||||||||||||| 90%
Genital (productivity) |||||| 26%


Oral: you appear to be stubbornly and irrationally against receiving help even when it might be the more intelligent option.

Anal: you appear to have a good balance of self control and spontaneity, order and chaos, variety and selectivity.

Phallic: you appear to have negative issues regarding sexuality and/or have an uncertain sexual identity.

Latency: you appear to be afraid or averse to present or future real world responsibilities, this will only make your inevitable transition more difficult, so learn to deal with the real world.

Genital: you appear to have a conventional, closeminded, and regressive outlook on life. Change is an inevitable and positive part of life, learn to contribute to it, not fear it or oppose it


Freuds theorized that there are 5 stages of psychological development. At the oral stage the main issue is dependency, at the anal stage the main issue is self control, at the phallic stage the main issue is sexual identity, at the latency stage it's skill development, and at the genital stage its creativity and productivity.

Freud theorized that psychological problems are related to problems during one or more of these stages. For example, being too cared for or too neglected causes someone to be orally fixated, too much or too little control causes someone to be anally fixated, insufficient parental role modeling causes phallic fixation.

An orally fixated person is either irrationally dependent (expects what they want to just appear) or irrationally independent (always refuses help).

An anally fixated person is either irrationally self controlled and servile to authority or has no self control and is compulsively defiant of authority.

A phallicly fixated person is either a sexual compulsive (sexually innappropriate/promiscuous) or sexually repressed.

Freud did not classify any latent fixation but I think it is as plausible as those at the other stages. I speculate that people that like to learn and acquire knowledge without any purpose or people that are compulsively non curious represent both dysfunctional ends of the latency spectrum.

The genital stage is the final Freudian developmental stage and according to Freud people don't all succeed at this. Freud believed the ideal for human happiness is to be happy in love and work, problems in one or the other cause unhappiness.

Like any personality system, Freud's developmental levels are just a theory, so, be speculative about your results.
