IQ:

Did you appear as a young man in the movie A Dangerous Method?

Once again your obsession with all things Keira Knightley has served you well, EH.

Yes, I am Swiss psychiatrist Carl Jung. Well done.

426

Good one. I wouldn’t have gotten any closer to the solution with the DQs I had left. :slight_smile:

Thanks! Good one, Prof. P. (and yes, I have seen A Dangerous Method - good movie, and an excellent cast including Michael Fassbender as Jung, Viggo Mortensen as Sigmund Freud, and… oh, yeah, Keira Knightley as Sabina Spielrein).

Just read a bit more about Jung in Wiki (Carl Jung - Wikipedia) and was interested to see this: “Jung was in contact with Allen Dulles of the Office of Strategic Services (predecessor of the Central Intelligence Agency) and provided valuable intelligence on the psychological condition of Hitler. Dulles referred to Jung as ‘Agent 488’ and offered the following description of his service: ‘Nobody will probably ever know how much Professor Jung contributed to the Allied Cause during the war, by seeing people who were connected somehow with the other side.’ Jung’s service to the Allied cause through the OSS remained classified after the war.”

July thread (still almost a week to go) coming up shortly.
