Psychoanalytic Personality Assessment
Sigmund Freud is said to be one of the greatest psychologist of all times. Although he has a different outlook on understanding how people act is quite intriguing. He is considered the father of psychoanalysis. Sigmund Freud was a medical doctor, a physiologist, and an influential thinker.

In comparison and contrast, the psychoanalytic theories of Freud, Jung, and Adler are very different and unique. However, Freud, Jung, and Adler are not at all alike. Freud based most psychological things on sexuality. Jung promoted the concept of archetypes, and Adler believed in the “will power” theory and that fundamentally, human beings are self- determined (“Theoretical Positions of Freud, Jung, and Adler,” n.d.).
Freud is big on self-conscious, Jung said “the aim of life to know oneself, and to know one is to examine the depths of the unclear seas of not only the personal unconscious as well.” Adler stated that “individual psychology based on the idea of the indivisibility of one’s personality” (“Notable Quotes,” n.d.).

I chose the learning theory because our behavior changes according to our surroundings. Our behavior also changes according to our environment as well. Sometimes our behavior can also be brought along with us as we grow older, meaning behavior can be how one was treated as a child well as how one is treated today.
The characteristic I do not agree with the cognitive development theory. I disagree with the cognitive
