Take a quiz to determine your Personality Style and watch the TV characters whose style matches your own! Throughout history, people have looked to art and literature to discover models of human behavior. In enduring literary characters, for example, we find personality traits we relate to and learn from. The father of psychoanalysis, Sigmund Freud, made perhaps the most famous connection of all: the Oedipus complex. Today, our dominant art form is television. So, in 1963, when psychiatrist Dr. Gregory G. Young was searching for a new way to help his patients solve their problems, he turned to the TV characters whose personalities make their shows so popular. Identifying twelve distinct personality styles and the TV characters who represent those styles, Dr. Young developed his unique, effective, fascinating TV Twins Therapy.
