Within a battery of personality tests, questionnaires FR-3, developed for eliciting fixations of the libido, destrudo and fugido, as well as the bases of paranoid and depressive position (M. Klein), and improved translation of Eysenck's 103-items EPQ, were administrated to the sample of 384 respondents, of various age, sex and education. The respondents' answers to the individual items were included in the canonical correlational analysis as variables. Obtained were five pairs of significant canonical factors (p<.01) with successive canonical correlation coefficients of .895, .870, .854, .842 and .828.
It was attempted to interpret the results with starting hypotheses that to the apparent Eysenck's E corresponds sublimated libido, to the apparent P - mortido in interaction with superego, and to the apparent N - fugido (energy of fear - anxiety).
The results are different.
