Schicksalsanalyse: A Guide to Profiling

Look at people’s faces. It’s quite possible you won’t like those frozen grimaces, but you still need to choose the least unpleasant grimace… Why? Because the choice will determine your life path, your spouse, your work, or your friends. Every person has a dark, criminal side. Over each of them, to a greater or lesser degree, prevail archetypes and symbols imposed by society. The first to speak about this was the famous student of Freud, Carl Gustav Jung. Leopold Szondi learned to identify these archetypes and leading behavior models not through years of psychoanalysis, but with a simple five-minute test. The great psychiatrist, Leopold Szondi, created a unique test, which became the beginning of criminal profiling. Its essence was to choose the least offensive face among ugly and unpleasant ones. Building on Jung’s work and the results of his own research, he created the concept of “life-diagnosis,” according to which one could not only analyze a person’s past, but also predict quite accurately all of their future problems. Szondi’s method made it possible to identify potential sadists, killers, and robbers in a crowd long before those people would commit their first crime.
