As per Oxford dictionary Psyche means: THE SOUL, THE SPIRIT or THE MIND Psychology means: The study of the mind and How does
it work; Mental Characteristics The part I would like to stress upon is that when we
collect data two of the methods employed are a.
Observational b.
Census All aspects of psychology are based on certain
Hypothesis, a perception of a great individual. Then this individual performs
an Experiment or Survey. Usually he uses a closed ended Questionnaire as it
serves his interest better. Once the result is published it becomes the
Biblical manna, as business world is desperate to change contrary to common
perception. Of course people have become a bit skeptical, as things haven’t
delivered as they were supposed to do. Reasons behind this are very obvious. 1.
Chronology – Most of the data available is outdated. It is based on research
done on people who were hardly educated. There was a mammoth difference
between Nobel and common people then. Implementing data derived from these
research is in our companies today is insane. 2.
Unrealistic Tests – The tests are based on past research and haven’t been updated as per
the new times. It is still administered with a belief that everything about
the individual who takes the test can be identified. Take for example MBTI.
If it were administered in an organization of 1600 employees at least 100
people would be of the same type if not more. Have we ever come across two
people with the same attributes in a lifetime? 3.
Mushrooming New Jargons –Instead of adding what has been already worked upon, people using
their creativity derive new concepts by fudging the old ones. Let me compare
for you Transactional Analysis and Neuro Linguistic Programming. As per Parent ego involves instruction passed on to us. It isn’t any learning or
experience of the individual. On the contrary these are learning’s (or
experience) of any individual in the Past which is coming down generation
after generation. Child ego is experiences registered by an individual but aren’t defined i.e. we
haven’t used any language/words to characterize this. To understand this we
need to understand how the Brain records information. Brain records
information in the form of visuals.
Any repetition of the situation forces us to react in the same way. Adult ego involves analyzes of a situation and then reacting. NLP doesn’t boost of anything new. In this Neuro represents the way our mind processes a given data. Linguistic represents the way brain communicates with its environment. Programming represents the way we shall react to a given situation at a given
time and every time. It’s a mere convergence of Parent ego and child ego. |
