Freud Inventory Test Results

Genital (productivity) |||||||||||| 50%
Latency (learning) |||||||||||| 46%
Phallic (sexuality) |||||| 26%
Anal (self control) |||||||||||||||||| 73%
Oral (dependence) |||| 16%

Oral: you appear to be stubbornly and irrationally against receiving
help even when it might be the more intelligent option.

Anal: you appear to be overly self controlled, organized, and
subservient to authority.

Phallic: you appear to have negative issues regarding sexuality
and/or have an uncertain sexual identity.

Latency: you appear to have a good balance of knowledge seeking and
practicality.

Genital: you appear to be stuck between a progressive and regressive
outlook on life.

Freuds theorized that there are 5 stages of psychological
development. At the oral stage the main issue is dependency, at the
anal stage the main issue is self control, at the phallic stage the
main issue is sexual identity, at the latency stage it's skill
development, and at the genital stage its creativity and productivity.

Freud theorized that psychological problems are related to problems
during one or more of these stages. For example, being too cared for
or too neglected causes someone to be orally fixated, too much or too
little control causes someone to be anally fixated, insufficient
parental role modeling causes phallic fixation.

An orally fixated person is either irrationally dependent (expects
what they want to just appear) or irrationally independent (always
refuses help).

An anally fixated person is either irrationally self controlled and
servile to authority or has no self control and is compulsively
defiant of authority.

A phallicly fixated person is either a sexual compulsive (sexually
innappropriate/promiscuous) or sexually repressed.

Freud did not classify any latent fixation but I think it is as
plausible as those at the other stages. I speculate that people that
like to learn and acquire knowledge without any purpose or people
that are compulsively non curious represent both dysfunctional ends
of the latency spectrum.

The genital stage is the final Freudian developmental stage and
according to Freud people don't all succeed at this. Freud believed
the ideal for human happiness is to be happy in love and work,
problems in one or the other cause unhappiness.

Like any personality system, Freud's developmental levels are just a
theory, so, be speculative about your results.
