Szondi Test "Uni-tendencies" as tool to study personality by exaggerated examples.

Szondi Test "Uni-tendencies" as tool to study personality by exaggerated  examples.\\ A uni-tendency is repsented, as an avoidence projection pared with a like or dislike "decided" coice. In each SZ Vector their are four such possabilities do to the way the test grid is structered. To understand the 'exaggeration' It is useful to see this setting as representing a shift of the control or influence inherent in that SZ factor to the direction set factor paired with it. [0][+].

Dr. Szondi speculated, that there was an intuitive language of choice, a preverbal mode of communication, left over from mankind's ancestors, which made the like and dislike of facial photos of gene set hereditary lines reacted to, as if a mirror of the personality of the subject observing them, when they were viewed in a certan sequence procedure that is to be followed to get the data properly positioned into a psychogram, he called a 'profile', and which, once correctly arraingced, as belonging to eight psychiatric types, can be  then interpreted by persons knowledgeable in this method. A data base of thousands of such psychograms were taken across many differed populations and clinical case types, to serve as keys for decoding when decoded, then may serve to reflect a persons drives, which in turn reflect that person's strivings, traits and needs. This then when correctly understood represents that person's larger psychological drive aspects, his vercisitudes. The Szondi test therfore is to be conceptual as both a drive/impulse psychology and an analysis of vercisitudes.In a further intuitive jump he offered that a person's choice of love mates, friendships, occupation types, and symptoms were driven by one's gene ancestors deermined drives existing  within the constraints of his environment, hence also his thoeories were a measuring of a persons trajectory to his ultimate fate and forms of existence. Thus also a "fate analysis". . At times, he called this approach "Fate-Analytic", to make clear its difference from Freudian and Jungian Psychoanalysis very dominant  in psychiary and psychology at the time. One choice each side is still considered as being an 'open'.  The main Perils of the unbalanced drive outcomes in any Szondi Vector are that if active for long periods and not satisfied, the otherwise basic and natural strivings will lead to conflict with the constraints of reality, and as well, the psychiatric condition for which the 'SZ factor' is named may then become potentially an aspect of that person's thinking, feelings and behaviors, unless compensated and balanced by the other Szondi Test  SZ   psychiatric names 'factors'. That such personality dynamics can be demonstrated by the Szondi Test is one feature that keeps interest in the Szondi Test alive despite various objections to its theoretical basis. In the Szondi Test System. each of the four Vectors, has four uni-tendencies as displayed in the Szondi Test grid. Uni-tendencies represent that a particular Szondi defined 'factor' has become active at one pole of its spectrum of strivings, traits or needs. This is a natural result of an drive need asserting its drive power. It is assumed that the drives of humans repsent an effect similar, if not the same, as the instincts of animals, except they far more flexagle and modifiable than is the case with any known animal species  Uni-tendencies because of their easy to recognize influence, can serve as examples useful to define the particular strivings a  'SZ factor'  represents. It is the somewhat exaggerated or clearest focus that uni-tendencies represent's which generally match observed  behaviors, makes them useful to explain many features of personality.  Back to home page---[X] Then explore pages and post top right.
