Freudian Personality Test

Your Freudian Personality Style is: Phallic-Compensative*

Self-controlled, sober, and seemingly mild-mannered, you have great facility with analytical arguments, which you use as a double-edged sword, pointing them as much at yourself as you do at others.  Socially, you are a bit impassive and vacuous, and you may attach yourself to someone (such as a significant other or female parent) whom you perceive to be better at social interaction and 'all the emotional stuff' than you are, thus neglecting the development of yourself in that area.  Metaphorically, your personality style may be likened to a five-year-old who is aware that he is not the favorite child in the family but at the same time wishes that he were.  As a result of this envy, you have developed a compensative attitude where you dismantle the dominance of others by analytically picking apart their activities, laying bare their weaknesses and exposing the special treatment that they have received and the double standards they live by.  However, while it may seem like you are just being equitable and even-handed, your true motivations are nevertheless personal envy and a longing to compensate for your frustrated need to dominate.  One proof of these ignoble motives that underlie your seemingly noble actions is that you sometimes go overboard in your exposition when exposing the flaws of someone whom you perceive to be 'mightier' than you, and that when doing so you can even become a bit moralistic and persecuting, in marked contradistinction to your usual easygoing self.

Premise 1: You are a badass with megalomaniacal tendencies.
Premise 2: You attract multiple incompatible mates.
Ergo,
Conclusion: You must have a big back yard. <EEP!>

Does the term "Praying Mantis" mean anything to you?

That's pretty much the exact opposite of what I mean. I'm a team-based player in relationships (all relationships - work, family, friends, romantic, etc.) and have no desire for either a dominant or submissive (or eat-the-other-person) role, but I often have to defend against others trying to dominate me because they misjudge my fighting spirit due to an incongruent outward appearance.

No, I'm a free-range megalomaniac. I have no yard...

I'm usually a very funny guy.
People laugh at me all the time.
Though I do tend to push the boundaries of humour more than most.

Oh... thanks for the clarification. I wasn't initially able to grasp the implied logic at all, so my deduction was to think he meant my dating pool must be pretty broad for guys to not warn among themselves to not get involved with me. Which would be true as I move around a lot and have lived primarily centered around major metropolitan areas.

Now I am in a small town, though, prioritizing family and other life needs over dating potential, and feeling a lot of stress over the interconnectedness dynamics that I'm not used to, so that's probably why my sensitivities went there.



It's ok, I can take a joke if I know it's a joke. I'm not offended in any way. Was more worried that I was miscommunicating what I meant somehow.

If it did happen, they probably deserved it.
