Psychological Types: Or, the Psychology of Individuation

by Carl Gustav Jung

English· 22:11:21· 77 chapters
Ever wondered if there is any "theoretical basis" for the well-known Myers–Briggs Type Indicator Personality Test? In this groundbreaking work of typology, Jung proposes three key dichotomies - extraversion/introversion, sensation/intuition, as well as thinking/feeling - as an attempt to reconcile the differing theories of Sigmund Freud and Alfred Adler. - Summary by Cao Yuqing
