3. TITLE
Type Theory Origin
Carl Jung (1875-1961)
Swiss Psychiatrist – Freud protégé
Psychological Types (1921) among the cornerstones of modern
psychological thought and Positive Psychology movement

4. Development on Original Type Theory
Katheryn and Isabel Briggs-Myers
Myers Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI)
16 possible Types created from four
dichotomies:
Extraversion-Introversion
Sensing-Intuition
Thinking-Feeling
Judging-Perceiving

5. Development on Original Type Theory Cont.

6. “It is not the purpose of a psychological typology to
classify human beings into categories--this would be
pretty pointless.”
- Jung, Psychological Types, p. 986
Jung Quote…

7. “The classifying application was–I almost regret to say–
the first and almost exclusive way in which my book was
understood…”
--C. Jung
Jung Quote…

8. “Every individual is an exception to the rule. Hence one
can never give a description of a type, no matter how
complete, that would apply to more than one individual,
despite the fact that in some ways it aptly characterizes
thousands of others. Conformity is one side of man,
uniqueness is the other.”
• CW 6, para 895
Jung Quote…
