Jung’s original work: Introversion (I) and the introverted type | IIEE | Jungian attitudes

Credits to Psychological Types by Jung for definition of introversion/introverted. Introversion = internal focus; selection; intangible, universal, transcendent, cerebral, detached, slow, delayed, removed. Introvert awareness: Primary I ⥃ Auxiliary I ⇹ Tertiary E ⥂ Inferior E Introverted order: - IT / IF ⥃ IS / IN ⇹ ES / EN ⥂ ET / EF - IS / IN ⥃ IT / IF ⇹ ET / EF ⥂ ES / EN Recommended test to help find your jungian type based on Jung’s original work without extra additions: It’s important to remember than a Jungian introvert can be confident, expressive, talkative, outgoing, and quite engaged with the outside world. For example I score at around 38-40% extraversion in Big 5 (in which I score rCxa|I| leaning more to RCUAI) and in SOJT I’m Jung Ni [marginal T above F] that happens to have ADHD combined (leaning inattentive). Interesting observations by Vendrah (Typology Triad) about how Jung typed people: “So, let me do a resume and explain again how Jung types (and yeah, this is entirely based on how Jung himself types others): You first evaluate and give the person an attitude type, which are two types: The Extraverted Type and The Introverted Type (this is basically E vs I). The person can also have an undifferentiated attitude, that basically means that the person acts like an Introvert or an Extravert depending on the environment conditions, society demands and has ambivalent tendencies. Then you evaluate and give the person a function type, which are four types, one for each function: The Intuition Type (or Intuitive Type), The Sensation Type, The Feeling type, The Thinking type. A person can also be undifferentiated here, or of an undifferentiated type on the function type, meaning that the person will not have a dominant function and will use the functions according to the society’s expectation, environment demands, etc… After you decide the attitude type and the function type, you arrive in one of the eight basic types of the Jung typology – Jung has a description for each one of them on chapter X but also a description for a purely Introverted type (Introverted attitude with no function differentiation) and for a purely Extraverted type (Extraverted attitude with no function differentiation). This is the process that Jung’s use to type Schiller, so this is purely Jung with zero additives. I just explained it in my own words with more clarity (and yeah, I had some effort into deciphering this since Jung’s explanations lacks clarity). After this, there is the determination of the auxiliary function, and from there we must keep in mind that there are two ‘natures’ of functions: Rational, which are T and F, and irrational, N and S. Although there are no example in Jung’s, you determinate the auxiliary function by basically evaluating which rational function the person prefers if the person has an irrational primary function or which irrational function the person prefers if the person has a rational primary function. So, for example, if a person primary function is Sensing, then the secondary function can be either Thinking or Feeling, and you evaluate whatever the person has a higher preference for Thinking or Feeling (which predominates) or if the person simply does not have preference for any of these two (and in Jung terms, that means that the secondary function is undifferentiated), and also note that this is the secondary function: It is less differentiated, so the E/I attitude will be ambivalent and/or reactive to the environment and society expectations. After you get this process, typing others and yourself actually becomes way easier.“ “Sticking labels on people at first sight is nothing but a childish parlor game. My typology is... not in any sense to stick labels on people at first sight. It is not a physiognomy and not an anthropological system, but a critical psychology dealing with the organization and delimitation of psychic processes that can be shown to be typical. My typology is based exclusively on psychological premises which can hardly coincide with physiological or somatic qualities.”​ —C.G. Jung Do you wanna learn Jung’s original work? Do yourself a favour - go read Psychological Types by Jung. Keep in mind that motivations are enneagram territory [check Katherine Fauvre] and that agreeableness/disagreeableness is linked to heart attitude. Also remember that socionics is NOT Jung’s original work. Socio is mostly enneagram based () plus it has different definitions from Jung including Kepinski info metabolism considerations added to the mix as I pointed here: #personality #carljung #introversion #introvert #subjective
