Study Notes

Carl Jung's Psychological Types

Jung sought to synthesize the theories of Freud and Adler, concluding his own perspective was distinct.
He proposed four main conscious functions: Sensation, Intuition, Thinking, and Feeling.
Sensation receives physiological stimulus, while Intuition transmits mental associations.
Thinking utilizes logical concepts, while Feeling makes subjective value judgments.
Jung identified two main attitude types: Extraversion and Introversion.
- Extraversion focuses on the objective environment.
- Introversion focuses on the subjective psyche.
Jung believed each individual's conscious state is characterized by a dominant function and attitude, while its opposite is repressed in the unconscious.
Psychological Types are eight combinations of function and attitude:
- Extraverted Sensation / Introverted Sensation
- Extraverted Intuition / Introverted Intuition
- Extraverted Thinking / Introverted Thinking
- Extraverted Feeling / Introverted Feeling
Extraverted Rational Types judge according to societal standards of rationality, suppressing subjective perception and reason.
- Examples include compulsive pleasure-seeking (repressed sensation) or suspicion of evil (repressed intuition).
Extraverted Irrational Types are guided by present events and experience, suppressing subjective judgment.
- Examples include calculating behavior (repressed thinking) or ruthlessness (repressed feeling).
Introverted Rational Types judge according to their own internal principles, suppressing objective judgment.
- Examples include inflexibility and egotism (repressed objective judgment).
Introverted Irrational Types are guided by their subjective inner world, suppressing objective perception.
- Examples include delusion and loss of touch with reality (repressed objective perception).
Secondary Functions can influence the dominant function, adding complexity to the types.
- A thinking type might have a well-developed feeling function that influences their perspective.
Jung believed primitive peoples have a more uniform awareness of all four functions.
