Reply to comment by boomming in Nietzsche is better understood as the Father of Psychoanalysis than Existentialism; his philosophy has two components: the diagnosis of our culture's Decadence (under the Ascetic Ideal) and a prescription for health in the Dionysian Counter-Ideal by thelivingphilosophy

They were trained by psychologists, genius. 🙄

All's I did was Google personality theory and the first one that came up with psychoanalytic which does contain id ego and the superego so I think you're wrong 🤷‍♀️

How do you know they were trained by psychologists? All the psychologists I know, people who were actually working in scientific research, said that Freud was never that important to actual psychology and was always much more popular in the public consciousness. Wilhelm Wundt and William James are the early pioneers of scientific psychology.

And googling personality test is not a good way to judge the support of scientific theories, as anyone intelligent might tell you.

I didn't Google personality test I Googled personality theory.

I would suggest that you look up the required studies of a substance abuse counselor to answer your own question.

I believe I was discussing psychoanalytic theory as opposed to clinical research.

So are you denying that the concept of the ego, superego, and id are part of the mainstream modern thinking about personality?

You have a double negative there, but yes, I am denying that modern psychology supports the hypothesis of an id, ego, or superego.

And I corrected prior to 3 minutes, how desperate are you to discredit rather than discuss?
