|
|
| Are strong egos associated with immaturity, poor social skills, and excessive dependence on others? I think strong dependence on others does not show a super ego association. Personality conditions linked to aggression, impulsivity, and neuroticism are called -- psychopathy or neurotic? -- paula |

| A1 First, the term "neurotic" has been dropped in recent years from formal psychology. One of the reasons is because of abuses by overgeneralization and its subsequent negative connotations which were inappropriately applied. Secondly, you cannot paint such a broad brush when trying to define this concept of a "strong ego." For example, some healthy types still exhibit social aptitudes which are quite deficient compared to other types. Another example is that some types are naturally inclined to seek a lot of input from other people in order to form their own assessments, which may or may not reflect the dominant attitude around them. There is a reason why psychologists spend years of study learning behavioral diagnosis before they can practice, and even then, there is no guarantee that one in particular even may really know what he's talking about. Personality disorders have until this point been very poorly researched and delineated. This section of the DSM-IV is the most unscientific, unverified through studies, and contains the most potential for error. A heavier reliance on understanding the different types of cognitive metabolism rather than old terminologies will probably end up reducing the amount of deficit labeling that is currently in practice and shed some real insight into how people can become more balanced. By the way, do you by any chance test as an ISFj? -- blahblahblah |
