All I remember is he comes after Freud, some of his followers are annoying, there’s a Marxist podcast that likes him called ‘the return of the repressed,’ and I don’t think Lukacs liked him.

He’s invoked and cited to lend credibility to a lot of pseudoscience in commercial team building training courses. That’s my main exposure to him and it makes me very sceptical of his work’s value.
Fair enough. I had an insane teacher that forced everyone to take some personality test and talked about how important it was for her to work with one of the numbers. Then she never mentioned it again after a couple weeks.
I dont mean to dismiss his body of work, which I’m largely unaware of, just to say that his name gets tagged on to Meyers Briggs and resold as summer kind of psychoanalytical science.
Like for what kind of stuff?
Personality tests. Getting gr groups of people to stand in different areas on a large floor map like a pentagram with different colours associated with different personality types.
“That’s such a blue thing to say!”… when you say something…
That sounds painful
Three days of it.
