Question

Describe your personality in terms of Horney’s major adjustment techniques. Do you move toward, against, or away from people with about equal frequency? If not, which of the three do you emphasize? Using Horney’s theory, attempt to explain why you use the major adjustment techniques the way you do.

Answer 1

Answer:

Self-dependent and a private person.

Explanation:

According to Karen Horney's major adjustment technique, I fall under the 'Detached Personality' as I tend to seek comfort and peace within myself. I don't like to confide my happiness in others as I am a very self-dependent and a private person.

Yes, I move away from people with equal frequency because I became an orphan at a very young age. I don't have anyone in particular with whom I make an exception.Thus, I seek for privacy and freedom to do what I want to do without any social or family pressure.
