Jungian Typology

 are 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 typelogy test (especially 16 Personalities) is reliable.
 * MBTI itself is not entirely scientifically valid, or at least not accepted by most scientific organizations.
 * Jungian typology 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:
 * [[File:InDivRe.png]] IdrLabs - Cognitive Functions
 * [[File:InDivRe.png]] IdrLabs - Jung Type
 * [[File:InDivRe.png]] IdrLabs - Jung Type 2
 * [[File:16personalities.png]] 16Personalities (!)

On 16Personalities
16P is a personality assessment website, which sought to combine the ancient four temperaments with a more modern and scientific Big Five personality traits theory, while placing it under a MBTI-esque cover. Here's what their typing corresponds to:


 * Extroversion-Introversion scale, corresponding naturally 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) result 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
