Psychological Types

Psychological Types is the title of the sixth volume in the Princeton / Bollingen edition of the Collected Works of Carl Jung. The original German language edition, "Psychologische Typen", was first published by Rascher Verlag, Zurich in 1921. In the book Jung categorized people into primary types of psychological function.

Jung proposed four main functions of consciousness:
 * Two perceiving functions: Sensation and Intuition
 * Two judging functions: Thinking and Feeling

The functions are modified by two main attitude types: extraversion and introversion. Jung theorized that the dominant function characterizes consciousness, while its opposite is repressed and characterizes unconscious behavior.

The eight psychological types are as follows:


 * Extraverted sensation
 * Introverted sensation
 * Extraverted intuition
 * Introverted intuition
 * Extraverted thinking
 * Introverted thinking
 * Extraverted feeling
 * Introverted feeling
