Jung's System Of Personality:, Types, And. Unconscious Lecture 7 ◼Psychological Types: ◼1. Eight Psychological Types: ◼Jung suggested there are eight personality types based on combinations of attitudes (extraversion or introversion) and functions (sensing, intuiting, thinking, or feeling). ◼ Examples of Types: ◼Extraverted Thinking Types: Outgoing and Logical ◼People who are outgoing and make decisions based on logic. ◼Example: A manager who is social, likes group discussions, and makes decisions based on facts and logic. Extraverted Feeling Types: Outgoing and Values-Driven Outgoing individuals who make decisions considering emotions and values. Example: A teacher who is friendly, considers people's feelings, and makes decisions based on what aligns with personal values. Extraverted Sensing Types: Outward-Focused and Observant Outward-focused, observant individuals who prefer hands-on experiences. Example: A tour guide who is energetic, pays attention to details, and prefers hands-on experiences. Extraverted Intuiting Types: Introverted Thinking Types: Outgoing and Imaginative Reserved and Logical Outgoing individuals who Reserved individuals who perceive possibilities make decisions logically, beyond the obvious. focusing inwardly. Example: An artist who is Example: A scientist who is sociable, thinks creatively, quiet, values deep and sees possibilities thinking, and makes beyond what's obvious. decisions based on logical analysis  Reserved individuals who make decisions based on Introverted Feeling personal values. Types: Reserved and Example: A poet who is introspective, considers personal values, and expresses emotions through Values-Driven writing Introverted Sensing Reserved individuals who rely on past experiences and traditions. Types: Reserved and Example: A historian who is reserved, relies on past Reliant on Tradition experiences, and values tradition and established facts Reserved individuals who perceive hidden meanings Introverted Intuiting and possibilities. Types: Reserved and Example: A novelist who is introverted, enjoys solitude for deep thinking, and has a talent for perceiving subtle Perceptive connections and hidden meanings in storytelling. Personal Unconscious: Similarity to Freud's Preconscious: Definition: Similar to Freud's concept of the preconscious. Function: Stores forgotten or suppressed material, things you may not be aware of at the moment but can easily recall with some effort. Complexes Definition: These are like mental folders where experiences with a common theme, such as emotions, memories, or perceptions, are grouped together. For example, someone could have a "parental complex," which is a mental folder for memories and emotions connected to their parents. ◼Collective Unconscious: ◼Deepest Level: ◼ Definition: The collective unconscious is the deepest and least accessible level of the psyche. ◼ Function: It stores universal experiences of the human and pre-human species, influencing behavior across generations. ◼ This means that the function being described is a mental mechanism that stores common experiences shared by both humans and pre-human species. These stored experiences have the potential to impact behavior not only in individuals but also across generations, suggesting a collective influence on human behavior passed down over time. ◼Pre-human species" refers to animals that came before us in the evolutionary history of humans. These are not modern humans but earlier forms of human-like creatures. They include species like Australopithecus and different types of Homo (such as Homo habilis and Homo erectus) that lived a long time ago. Studying these species helps scientists learn about how humans evolved over time.  Archetypes: ◼. ◼Definition: Jung proposed recurring themes or patterns called archetypes. ◼G.K = Recurring themes or patterns refer to ideas, motifs, or elements that appear repeatedly or consistently in various contexts or situations. ◼Function: These archetypes are imprinted on our psyche through common human experiences and can be found in myths, stories, and symbols throughout cultures. ◼Example: The "hero" archetype is seen in stories worldwide, representing a journey, challenges, and growth. ◼Archetypes: ◼ Examples: Major archetypes include ◼ the persona, anima, ◼ animus, shadow, ◼ and self. ◼Persona: ◼Definition: The persona is like a mask or public face that individuals present to the world, often shaping how they are perceived. ◼ Caution = Be careful with the persona – the mask you show to the world. If people think that's who you really are, it might create a problem. There could be a gap between how you appear and who you truly are inside. It's essential to stay true to yourself and not let the external mask take over.  Anima and Animus: ◼Definition: Anima is the inner feminine aspect within men, and Animus is the inner masculine aspect within women. ◼Purpose: They exist to help us understand and get along with people of the opposite gender. For guys, it means recognizing and embracing their more sensitive and nurturing side (anima). For girls, it's about understanding and integrating their more assertive(self assured) and rational side (animus). It's like having a balanced mix of both qualities within us. ◼. ◼Shadow: ◼Definition: The shadow is like the hidden, darker part of our mind that holds instincts and qualities we might not always be aware of. ◼Duality: Think of duality like a two-faced tool. One side brings good things (important energy), but the other side might have not-so-good things. If we ignore this hidden side, it can make our personality seem a bit dull and sometimes cause emotional issues. So, it's important to understand and accept this hidden part of ourselves for a more balanced and fulfilling life. ◼Self: ◼Definition: The self is like the idea of bringing all the different parts of yourself together into one united and balanced whole. ◼Goal: The aim is to have a personality that's well put-together and in harmony. While it's not easy to fully achieve, the goal is to recognize and include every part of who you are. It's like making sure all the pieces of yourself work well together. ◼. Self and Development: Ultimate Goal: What it Means: Jung believed that the ultimate goal of life is to strive towards wholeness, symbolized by the concept of the self. Example: Imagine it like trying to become the best, most complete version of yourself. Age of Emergence: ◼ When It Happens: The self starts to emerge around middle age. ◼ What It Involves: This involves bringing together and understanding both the conscious and unconscious aspects of yourself. ◼ Example: It's like discovering and making sense of different parts of your personality that you might not have fully understood before. ◼Realization of the Self: ◼ The Full Picture: The complete realization of the self is a future goal. ◼ What's Needed: Achieving it requires self-knowledge, persistence(Continuing despite challenges), perceptiveness(Noticing things accurately), and wisdom(Making good judgments from knowledge and experience). ◼ Example: It's like working towards becoming the best version of yourself by knowing who you are, being persistent, paying attention to your surroundings, and gaining wisdom through experiences ◼.
