4. The Theory
Jung’s theory divided the human mind into three parts:
 The Ego
 The Personal Unconscious
 The Collective Unconscious

5. Ego
 Jung defines this as the unconscious mind

6. The Personal Unconscious
 Anything that is not presently conscious, but can be. It includes both memories that
are easily brought to mind and those that have been repressed for some reason.

7. The Collective Unconscious
 This refers to our “Psychic Inheritance”:
 The reservoir of our experiences as a species, a kind of knowledge we are all born with (the
collective memories of the entire human race). We are not directly conscious of it but it
influences all our experiences and behaviours.
 According to Jung, this is who so many cultures have the same symbols recurring in their
myths, religion, art, and dreams. The common symbols are referred to as archetypes.

8. Archetypes
 The content of the collective
unconscious are called "Archetypes"
 Jung believed humans are not born
"clean slates". He thought we came
into this world with certain pre-
dispositions that cause behaviour.
 These behaviours were driven by
archetypes or archetypal behaviour.

14. Introvert and Extrovert
 Jung is most famous for his development of
the personality types of INTROVERT and
EXTROVERT. Introverts are people who
prefer their internal world of thoughts,
feelings, and dreams. Extroverts prefer the
external world of things, other people, and
activities.
