Jung’s personality types
Jung's personality types are a set of psychological archetypes that were developed by the Swiss psychologist Carl Jung. Jung believed that everyone has a dominant personality type, which influences the way they think, feel, and behave. The four main personality types that Jung identified are:
The Sensing Type (S): People who are sensing types tend to focus on concrete details and facts. They rely on their five senses to make sense of the world around them.
The Intuitive Type (N): People who are intuitive types tend to focus on patterns and possibilities. They rely on their intuition and imagination to understand the world.
The Thinking Type (T): People who are thinking types tend to rely on logic and analysis to make decisions. They are objective and detached in their approach to problem-solving.
The Feeling Type (F): People who are feeling types tend to rely on their emotions and values to make decisions. They are empathetic and compassionate in their approach to problem-solving.
Jung also proposed that each personality type can be either extraverted (E) or introverted (I). Extraverted types are more outgoing and social, while introverted types are more introspective and reserved. Combining these two dimensions, we get the following eight personality types:
ISTJ: Introverted Sensing Thinking Judging
ISFJ: Introverted Sensing Feeling Judging
INFJ: Introverted Intuitive Feeling Judging
INTJ: Introverted Intuitive Thinking Judging
ISTP: Introverted Sensing Thinking Perceiving
ISFP: Introverted Sensing Feeling Perceiving
INFP: Introverted Intuitive Feeling Perceiving
INTP: Introverted Intuitive Thinking Perceiving
Jung's personality types have been used in many different contexts, including in psychology, education, and career counseling.
