Question: 1 / 400

Who proposed that individuals can be classified into three personality groups: compliant, aggressive, and detached?

Sigmund Freud

Carl Jung

Alfred Adler

Karen Horney

Karen Horney proposed this idea while Freud, Jung, and Adler all had differing ideas about classification and personality. While Freud focused on the unconscious and sexual instincts, Jung focused on the collective unconscious and Adler focused on the individual's drive for superiority. Horney's theory of personality emphasized the importance of social and cultural factors in shaping an individual's personality, rather than relying solely on internal drives or instincts. Therefore, the other options are incorrect because they do not align with Horney's specific theory of personality groups.
