Psychological Types
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Psychological Types is the title of the sixth volume in the Princeton / Bollingen edition of the Collected Works of Carl Jung.[1] The original German language edition, "Psychologische Typen", was first published by Rascher Verlag, Zurich in 1921.[citation needed] In the book Jung categorized people into primary types of psychological function.
Jung proposed that there were four main functions of consciousness, two of them being perceiving functions:
And two being judging functions:
The functions are modified by two main attitude types: extraversion and introversion.
Jung theorized that whichever function dominates consciousness its opposite function is repressed and will characterize unconscious behavior.
The eight psychological types are categorized as follows:
- Extraverted Sensation
- Introverted Sensation
- Extraverted Intuition
- Introverted Intuition
- Extraverted Thinking
- Introverted Thinking
- Extraverted Feeling
