The Weigl Color-Form Sorting Test as an index of cortical function/ Tamkin AS.
Evaluated the Weigl Color-Form Sorting test as an index of cortical function and dysfunction by observing the effects of several factors known to influence brain function (age and education) and to accompany dysfunction (Verbal IQ, Bender-Gestalt recall and Similarities). In Experiment 1 the Ss were 46 psychiatric patients, 20 males and 26 females. One-half the Ss could shift on the Weigl and one-half could not. No sex differences were associated with ability to shift. All t tests were significant, which shows that all the study variables either affected or accompanied ability to shift. Experiment 2 used 71 psychiatric patients, 27 males and 44 females. All the findings of Experiment 1 were replicated.

America is a mistake, a giant mistake.
-Sigmund Freud/ www.quotationspage.com/quotes/Sigmund_Freud
America has never been an empire. We may be the only great power in history that had the chance, and refused – preferring greatness to power and justice to glory.

Is the subject of jokes worth so much trouble? There can, I think, be no doubt of it. Leaving on one side the personal motives which make me wish to gain an insight into the problems of jokes and which will come to light in the course of these studies, I can appeal to the fact that there is an intimate connection between all mental happenings - a fact which guarantees that a psychological discovery even in a remote field will be of an unpredictable value in other fields.
-Sigmund Freud/ from "Jokes and their Relation to the Unconscious" (1905) [SE, VIII, 15]
Human civilization, by which I mean all those respects in which human life has raised itself above its animal status and differs from the life of beasts - and I scorn to distinguish between culture and civilization - , presents, as we know, two aspects to the observer. It includes on the one hand all the knowledge and capacity that men have acquired in order to control the forces of nature and extract its wealth for the satisfaction of human needs, and, on the other hand, all the regulations necessary in order to adjust the relations of men to one another and especially the distribution of the available wealth. The two trends of civilization are not independent of each other: firstly, because the mutual relations of men are profoundly influenced by the amount of instinctual satisfaction which the existing wealth makes possible; secondly, because an individual man can himself come to function as wealth in relation to another one, in so far as the other person makes use of his capacity for work, or chooses him as sexual object; and thirdly, moreover, because every individual is virtually an enemy of civilization, though civilization is supposed to be an object of universal human interest.
-Sigmund Freud/ from "The Future of an Illusion" (1927) [SE, XXI, 5-6]
