Two Types of Personality

Page 2: Carl Jung Theory of Personality

FREUD’S VIEW JUNG’S VIEW

Personal unconscious-, each person has his or her own unconscious, and although they have some similarities (the structures and defense mechanisms, for example), what is in one person’s unconscious might not be in another person’s unconscious. The hidden thoughts and ideas of one person.  

Collective unconscious- all human beings share certain unconscious ideas because we are all human and were created from similar evolutionary circumstances and common ancestors. The collective unconscious is the storehouse of hidden memory traces that were inherited from our ancestral past. It is our minds’ residue of human evolutionary development He emphasize on the study of different cultures. He believed that the similarities between cultures were an indication of what it means to be human; that is, by looking at how we are all alike, we can determine the essence of humanity.

These elements (the content) of the collective unconscious are known as archetypes.  Patterns in the people and events around us which are mostly symbols of common human social realities such as heroes, maidens, and babies.

 Projection-making factors in the brain. To project is to see something in the outside world when its actual source is inside youRepresents a common and significant feature of ancient human social environment

ATTITUDES: TWO TYPES OF PERSONALITIES

Page 8: Carl Jung Theory of Personality

Extraverts

The extraversion attitude orients a person toward the external worldoutward turning of "goal-directed energy

Extraverted people channel their life energy into activities and social involvement

Page 9: Carl Jung Theory of Personality

IntrovertsThe introversion attitude drives a person toward the inner, subjective world.

Introverts, by contrast, are turned inward, more interested in the life of the mind than the events of the outside world

RATIONAL OR JUDGING TYPE 

Some people seem to use their minds all the time, making conscious value judgments about which way to direct themselves. 

Page 11: Carl Jung Theory of Personality

The feeling type - makes decisions according to emotional evaluations 

The thinking type. The thinking type makes decisions based on conscious calculations (for example, marrying somebody who will someday be rich).

Page 12: Carl Jung Theory of Personality

IRRATIONAL TYPE

One who relies on perception or intuition to guide decision-making. They tend to be rooted in the present, and they are more likely to make snap decisions or do impulsive things.

 Some irrational types emphasize sensation. They respond to external stimuli and are quite attentive to sensory perceptions, which guide their actions in a way they would be at a loss to explain. Such a person might be found wandering in a meadow on a pleasant morning, drinking in the sights and sounds, or spending all night at a nightclub, for no reason the person could identify except "liking it."
