Jungian Psychology

Introversion are traits where a person is more mindful of their own thoughts and feelings rather than their surrounding environment. Have you ever met someone that seemed to be more reserved than others? Someone who tends to keep their emotions private? Someone who is more of a social

The article “Introversion: The Often Forgotten Factor Impacting the Gifted” by Jill D. Burruss and Lisa Kaenzig begins by giving examples of how an introvert may behave. The authors continue by explaining that introversion is in not an issue, but a personality type which differs from that of the “normal,” more outgoing and friendly personality type, extroversion. Introverts and extroverts are different personality types, most people fall into one of the two categories. Typically, an introvert’s main focus is in the internal world of thoughts, while an extrovert's main focus is on the external world of people and events. Introverts tend to enjoy alone time, working on their own, and are usually quiet, and extroverts are typically social, enjoy

Within the Jung Typology Test (JTT) it states that my type of personality is introverted, sensing, feeling and judging. The results indicated I am an introvert over extrovert, the score showed 56%. There was a marginal or no preference to sensing over intuition at 1% for this result. Moderate preference to feeling over thinking at 25%, and a strong preference to judging over perceiving at 78%. So this is saying that I am an introverted sensing with extroverted feeling.

Introverts are typically more complex characters as a whole compared to Extroverts, the dynamics between the two already a major difference. When a person hears ‘Introvert’ they think ‘Alone’, ‘Hates People’, ‘Pessimist’ and ‘Boring’, whilst thinking Extroverts, on the other hand, as ‘Happy’, ‘Friendly’, ‘Optimists’, and ‘Fun’ - two

Throughout the process of learning about my personal Jungian typology, I was able to get in contact with who I was and what certain things mean. My Jungian typology was ISTJ, this meaning I tend to think of the consequences of a situation before engaging in a certain issue. This self-assessment stated that I am an introverted person, that is partially true because I am socially outgoing but professionally reserved. I can personally say being outgoing is not always a proper solution, sometimes being outgoing can put me in pretty awkward situations , it lead me to perform certain actions that I later regretted.

When growing up I was often a very quiet child who chose not to speak to almost anyone. The idea of speaking to people scared and intimidated my little mind, which was terrified of anyone or anything that towered over me. Throughout the duration of my life I was able to grow out of this and become a “social butterfly”, according to my mother. I now associate with many people and find no difficulty in speaking with most people. Even though I’ve developed my ability to speak with people I still think of myself as introverted and following the Jung Typology Test my idea was further enforced. I strongly agree with what was presented to me at the end of the test when it deemed me as “INFP”. “I” stands for Introverted feeling which often refers to

The introverted attitude reflects a focus on an inner, private world. The extroverted attitude reflects a focus on the external world of things, events, and people. Thinking and feeling are opposing, rational functions; sensing and intuiting are opposing, non-rational functions.

An introverted intuitive thinker otherwise known as an INTP personality type is who I am.

One of the personality theories that reflect me is Carl Jungs theory also known as Psychoanalysis. Carl Jung was influenced by Sigmund Freud but also disagreed with many of Freuds views. Jung perceives two attitude types Introvert which are people who stay more to themselves and Extrovert are more outgoing and receive stimulation from their environment. My attitude is more of an Extrovert I love to go outside, meeting new people, and adventuring off. Sometimes I have my days where I want to stay to myself but, for the most part I am an outgoing person. Jung describes three Archetypes which are Persona archetype, Shadow archetype, and Self archetype. The most dominant archetype for me would be Persona archetype, public face or role presented

The term "introvert" and "extrovert" were coined by the early 1920's Swiss psychologist Carl Jung. The general definition were that extroverts were focused on the outer world while their counterparts, introverts, were focused on the inner world. Throughout the years since his discovery, introversion in particular has been diluted and has lost its meaning. In modern society introversion and shyness are lumped in the same category. Introversion as define by the Merriam Webster Dictionary is "the state of or tendency toward being wholly or predominantly concerned with and interested in one's own mental life." Shyness however is the act of feeling awkward and tense in social situations in worry the person might embarrass themselves; introversion

When people are asked to describe introverts, they often draw a distasteful picture. Glasses, acne, and pale skin often comes to mind. The average introvert has a bad reputation, and is undervalued in today’s society. Throughout the last century and continuing on today, people have believed in the extrovert ideal as the best type of personality. The ideal extrovert has been recognized for being confident and comfortable in the middle of action. Even when risky, he takes action, and socializes naturally in groups and teams. He prefers action to contemplation, has an easy time taking charge and is not afraid to speak to a crowd. Extroverts thrive on social interaction. On the other side of the spectrum, introverts have been looked down upon in

Introverted feelers are most likely to feel fear in social situations, making them appear distant and unlikable, which they are not necessarily.

Carl Jung has defined introversion as “withdrawn and often shy, and tend to focus on themselves along with their own thoughts and/or feelings.” Jung also found that everyone starts off with introversion and extroversion, but with time and life experience only the dominant one is the one that shows Therefore, for example two young children going through different life experience can both end

There were a few reasons that I chose him. First, I think it’s                   amazing his contribution to figuring out, ”personality types.” Second, I find     it interesting that he was spiritual, and   incorporated some of that spirituality to his theories. He was one of the theorists that took an approach to the

Introverts are people who spend time thinking and reflecting before they act. Their motivation is internal, which might end up closing them off from the world around them. Introverts usually prefer one-to-one relationships, and only express intimacy with a few family members or close friends. Introverts also love doing activities that allow them to be put in an organizational position. Occasionally, introverts will shut down and close off from all of those around them. Personally, I believe that is a completely accurate description of myself. I also plan out my days ahead of time, and I love being able to put things together. While I sometimes I think that it is a negative thing, I do tend to close off from my circle, which happens to be very small. If I do get to meet my goal of being a teacher, my introversion definitely yields to potential for problems. Getting out of my shell would be a challenge, without a doubt. That being said, my introversion is mostly geared towards others my age. I am usually very comfortable around people that are older or younger than I am, which makes me believe I would probably be okay. Other than having to overcome the challenge of opening up, being an introvert does have upsides, such as having an urge to get things done.
