It is absolutely amazing that you are both engaging in ad hominem attacks in the Philosophy subreddit, and also seem to think that Freud was the originator of the subconscious/unconscious. He was not, which a cursory google search, which you apparently use to judge the validity of scientific theories, would show you.

How do you know they were trained by psychologists? All the psychologists I know, people who were actually working in scientific research, said that Freud was never that important to actual psychology and was always much more popular in the public consciousness. Wilhelm Wundt and William James are the early pioneers of scientific psychology.
And googling personality test is not a good way to judge the support of scientific theories, as anyone intelligent might tell you.

Where is your evidence that these ideas are at all ingrained in modern psychology? 3 discrete parts of the subconscious, each with their own purpose in guiding your behavior sounds like a very specific hypothesis and I have never encountered any modern psychology who purports that there is any evidence of it.
>And these were not trained psychologists they were treatment counselors
You are missing the conclusion that they believed in this unsupported hypothesis because they are not actual psychologists. Why would I trust them to actually know real psychology if they aren’t even psychologists!

Freud used the term unconscious mind, and thought it functioned in specific ways that modern psychology does not support. And to my knowledge, modern psychology does not support traumatic repression either.

> Do we not still use the concept of the id, superego and ego?
No. The modern consensus in psychology absolutely does not support in any way, the existence of an ID, Ego, or Superego.

> So are you denying that the concept of the ego, superego, and id are not part of the mainstream modern thinking about personality?
You have a double negative there, but yes, I am denying that modern psychology supports the hypothesis of an id, ego, or superego.
