Here is a list and a brief description of four different Freudian 'oral' personality types that you may or may not bump into in your day to day life...
1. The 'Oral-Nurturing' Personality Type: The 'nurturing motherly or fatherly' type...often become 'counsellors', 'therapists'', 'nurses', 'child care workers', 'community workers'...
2. 'The Oral-Biting (or Sadistic)' Personality Type: A little more 'sarcasm' and 'bite' in this personality....Watch out for the 'sharp teeth' in what these type of people say...
3. 'The 'Oral-Narcissistic (Addictive)' Personality Type: Like to 'consume' things -- often big eaters or big drinkers, or drug users, often like to 'buy' things, 'have' things, 'be catered to', 'treated like a king or queen', 'have people centre around them, and do things for them', good at 'demanding' things, and/or 'seducing' people in order to get what they want...but not always good at being independent and getting or doing things themselves without help...
4. The 'Oral-Receptive' Personality Type: Very 'approval-seeking', 'wanting to please', wanting to do things for other people, wanting to be liked/loved, don't like conflict/ confrontation, usually easy to talk to, easy to approach, not very protective of their self-boundaries, expect the best in people, expect good intentions, have trouble reading the 'bad' in people...often get 'used' and 'abused' by people because they don't adequately protect their self-boundaries...
