Jungian typology, also known as

Jungian cognitive functions or Myers-Briggs

Type Indicator (MBTI), is a system of
personality assessment based on the
theories of Carl Jung, aSwiss psychiatrist
and psychoanalyst.

Jung proposed that there are eight basic

psychological functions:

" Extraversion (E) vs. Introversion (|):

How we direct our energy. Extraverts
gain energy from interaction with
others, while introverts gain energy
from spending time alone.
"Sensing (S) vs. Intuition (N): How we
take in information. Sensors focus on
concrete details and facts, while
intuitives focus on possibilities and
abstract concepts.
" Thinking (T) vs. Feeling (F): How we
make decisions. Thinkers prioritize logic
and objectivity, while feelers prioritize
values and emotions.

" Judging (J) vs. Perceiving (P): How we

dealwith the world. Judgers prefer
structure and planning, while
perceivers prefer flexibility and
spontaneity.

These eight functions can be combined in 16

different ways, resulting in 16 different
personality types. For example, an ENFP
personality type is someone who is
extroverted, intuitive, feeling, and
perceiving.
Here are some of the benefits of using
