These questions were written to be asked in Toronto on 2019-06-24,
and should be interpreted accordingly.
On each question you may give up to two answers, but if you give
both a right answer and a wrong answer, there is a small penalty.
Please post all your answers to the newsgroup in a single followup,
based only on your own knowledge. (In your answer posting, quote
the questions and place your answer below each one.) I will reveal
the correct answers in about 3 days.
All questions were written by members of Unnatural Axxxe and are
used here by permission, but have been reformatted and may have
been retyped and/or edited by me. For further information see
my 2019-01-22 companion posting on "Questions from the Canadian
Inquisition (QFTCI*)".
* Game 6, Round 7 - Science - Complexes Made Easy
Nobody said life was simple. Complexes -- the notion of organizing
the unconscious mind around a theme -- originated with Freud
and Jung and continues in psychology today. In this round,
we'll describe some psychological complexes, and in each case,
you are asked to name them.
1. As per Greek mythology, an Oedipal (or Oedipus) complex involves
a male child with an antipathy toward his father and attraction
for his mother. What is the same syndrome -- affinity for the
opposite-sex parent -- called in girls?
2. Still drawing from the story of Oedipus, what psychological
complex is attached to a mother with an obsessive fixation on
her son?
3. A person with perceived physical shortcomings who compensates
by overachieving to an obsessive degree, particularly in areas
of leadership. This psychological complex is named after a
historical figure.
4. Difficult relationships between a father and daughter, or a
perceived absence of that father, can contribute to this
complex in which women seek out men considerably their senior.
The syndrome is named for a controversial novel. Name that
complex.
5. Another pathology named for a Greek myth, this was named
in 1949 by the French philosopher Gaston Bachelard. It is
characterized by the behavior of compulsively warning others
of the consequences of their behavior. A side-effect is the
propensity to feel other people's grief to an extreme degree.
6. This fairy-tale-based complex was described in 1981 by
Colette Dowling, who wrote about the pathology of women who
fear independence. It describes women who feel incapable
of change without outside help, usually male. Think Disney.
Name that complex.
7. Dr. Fredric Wertham wrote the controversial 1954 book "Seduction
of the Innocent", about the malign effects of comic books.
One enduring complex he identified -- an unhealthy sense of
responsibility and a desire to "save" others -- was named for
a comic-book character. Name that complex.
8. Marked by an almost complete lack of self-worth, this
complex suggests feelings of failing to measure up to standards.
Sufferers can overcompensate with extreme achievement or act
out anti-socially. Name that complex, which was defined by
psychologist Alfred Adler and is *not* named after a person
or character.
9. This complex was first described by Freud as a man's inability
to maintain sexual arousal within a committed, loving
relationship. Men with this complex tend to compartmentalize all
women as either saintly or as prostitutes. Name that complex.
10. Not officially recognized by the psychoanalytic community,
but popular in pop psychology, this complex refers to men
who avoid adult responsibility through laziness and lack of
direction. The complex is named after a famous character in
children's literature.
* Game 6, Round 8 - Geography - The State I'm In
We'll name some states, provinces, territories, cantons, or
whatever. You name the country.
1. Anhui, Hubei, Gansu, Hebei.
2. Batman, Hakkari, Samsun, Van.
3. Cordoba, Santa Fe, Rio Negro, Formosa.
4. Distrito Federale, Esperito Santo, Parana, Rio Grande do Norte.
5. Edo, Gombe, Borno, Jigawa.
6. Balochistan, Northwest Frontier Province, Punjab, Sindh.
7. Assam, Kerala, Sikkim, Nagaland.
8. Basel-Stadt, Basel-Landschaft, Schaffhausen, Zug.
9. Andelucia, Extremadura, Murcia, Balearic Islands.
10. Colima, Hidalgo, Sonora, Chiapas.
