animus \AN-uh-muhs\, noun:

1. Basic attitude or animating spirit; disposition; intention.
2. A feeling of ill will; animosity.
3. In Jungian psychology, the inner masculine part of the female personality [cf. anima].

Hey wait a minute....
Does this mean that masculinity is animosity?

Nope. Plus Carl Jung had some interesting idea, none which I'd call fact.

Indeed. There isn't much to psychology that can be called fact.

To be fair, most of it can be used effectively in predictive terms.

I enjoy psychology. I'm thinking about going for a bachelor's in child psychology.

Well this much explains the inspiration for the aeon Anima in Final Fantasy 10 at least.
