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.
