What Is LIVIDO ?

Dear All,

During a recent interview, one of the very senior HR personnel asked a question about LIVIDO. Can anyone clarify this? Positive replies in this connection are solicited at an early date.

With best regards,

He asked the same during the HR interview, so this might be connected with HR functions/point of view.

Awaiting further replies.

Dear Prakash,
Is it possible that you did not hear the word correctly? An HR person could have asked you about LIBIDO, the dictionary meaning of the same is as mentioned below:
li·bi·do (l-bd, -b-)
n. pl. li·bi·dos
1. The psychic and emotional energy associated with instinctual biological drives.
2.
a. Sexual desire.
b. Manifestation of the sexual drive.
Best regards,
Deepak

Hey Deepak,

That would be a question if you are being selected for HR in a pharma company. 😄

As Mr. Deepak, you may be correct; the interviewer is basically from Orissa, and I, being a Keralite, may have been heard wrongly. Can you please help me further in this subject matter from an HR point of view? That might help me in the future.

Regards,

Dear Prakash,

Libido, if seen in conjunction with Freud, has definite manifestations in the behavior patterns of individuals. This is why it is critical to HR.

Freud conceived of the mind as having only a fixed amount of psychic energy, or libido. Though the word libido has since acquired overt sexual implications, in Freud's theory, it stood for all psychic energy. This energy fueled thought processes, perception, imagination, memory, and sexual urges. In Freud's theory, the mind, like the universe, could neither create nor destroy energy, but merely transfer it from one form or function to another. Because the scope of the mind's capabilities was thus limited by the amount of psychic energy freely available, any process or function of the mind that consumed excess energy debilitated the ability of the mind to function normally. Repression, he held, demanded significant amounts of energy to maintain; even then, a repressed thought might come perilously close to becoming conscious, only to be redirected or defended against by a defense mechanism. Additionally, a fixation on a past psychosexual stage of development could permanently sap this libidinal energy, causing, in extreme cases, neuroses or worse.

The dynamic interaction between the id, ego, and superego, with each contending for as much libidinal energy as possible, illustrates the importance of the functions of the mind. A man who invests most of his libidinal energy into the cravings of his id will act and live much differently than the man whose guilt-inspiring superego consumes most of his libidinal energy. This constantly changing balance and interaction between the various functions of the mind, in Freud's theory, determines personality.

Best regards,

Deepak
