Jungian Typology

"Prompts 'Myers–Briggs Type Indicator' and 'Jungian cognitive functions' redirect here. For associated types, see the navigation box."

 is a cognitive theory and typology system which utilizes a set of eight information processing function of human consciousness proposed and established in the book Psychological Types by Swiss psychiatrist and writer Carl Gustav Jung.[Wp]

Myers–Briggs Type Indicator, developed based on Jung's theories by Isabel Cooks and Myers Briggs, is a questionnaire indicating differing psychological preferences in how people perceive the world and make judgements about it. There's many tests on the web you can take to find out your cognitive/MBTI type. Keep in mind - no cognitive questionnaire is completely reliable, it is recommended you instead learn about MBTI and cognitive functions yourself.

An example of personality testing in a political sense is the societal structure in the best-selling novel Divergent (2014), a dystopian world where people are separated into factions, or different communities, at the age of 16 based on their personality.

Things to note

 * No Jungian typology test is reliable.
 * The system itself is not entirely scientifically valid, or at least not accepted by most scientific organizations.
 * MBTI is about perception (as through the senses and unconscious intuitive connection) and judgement (through evaluation and logical reason) - not action, extraversion, friendliness, aggression, procrastination or any other personality trait. For actual personality traits, please refer to the [[File:FFM.png]] Big Five personality traits theory.
 * Do not preoccupy yourself with letters (i.e, if someone seems to be social then they're an E type; asocial - an I); labels like "INTJ" or "ESTP" only represent the underlying functions that create a single whole type. In short - use [[File:Jung.png]] cognitive functions.
 * Some who is introverted in their MBTI type may very well be extroverted in social terms. A basic example of that is the twitch.tv streamer RTGame, who is an [[File:INFP.png]] INFP.
 * Avoid stereotypes. Here's a basic example:
 * People with a greater [[File:Mbti-Ne.png]][[File:Mbti-Ni.png]] intuitive functions being "more intelligent" than those with greater [[File:Mbti-Se.png]][[file:Mbti-Si.png]] sensory ones. This is ultimately untrue, as both intuition and sensation are irrational and perceptive functions - one or the other doesn't make you "more intelligent".

As mentioned, using questionnaires to types yourself is very unreliable; ~However!~ if you are still interested, here are some tests which you can take:

On 16Personalities
16P is a personality assessment website which utilizes the ancient four temperaments with a more modern and scientific Big Five personality traits theory, while remarking the labeling format to match that of MBTI. The typology that 16 Personality provides can be broken down as follows:


 * Extroversion-Introversion scale, naturally corresponding to the Extroversion scale
 * Intuition-Sensation scale, pertaining to Openness
 * Feeling-Thinking scale, being Agreeableness
 * Perceiving-Judging scale, representing Conscientiousness
 * Turbulent-Assertive scale, standing for Neuroticism

"For example, an 'INFP-T' result would correspond to a 'RLUAI' (Reserved, Limbic, Unorganized, Agreeable, Inquisitive) trait combination in the Big Five."

Based on the first and last letter, the site also gives you a temperamental strategy;
 * Constant Improvement (Ixxx-T) - Melancholic
 * Confident Individualism (Ixxx-A) - Phlegmatic
 * Social Engagement (Exxx-T) - Sanguine
 * People Mastery (Exxx-A) - Choleric
