Psychological Types
Define “Psychology”
………………………………………
“Study of the mind”
Jung's unique and broadly influential approach to psychology has emphasized understanding the psyche through exploring the worlds of dreams, art, mythology, world religion and philosophy. Although he was a theoretical psychologist and practicing clinician for most of his life, much of his life's work was spent exploring other realms, including Eastern and Western philosophy, alchemy, astrology, sociology, as well as literature and the arts.
Jung is famous for many things that he did for psychology. The work he did was important for measuring what kind of personality people have. The test called the Myers-Briggs Personality Inventory is based on his ideas.

The Meyers Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) is a set of questions based on psychology. By answering the questions people can learn about how they tend make choices. They can also learn about how they view the world. [1] After answering the questions in the Meyers Briggs Type Indicator people are placed in one of sixteen groups. These groups are based on theories by Carl Gustav Jung in his book Psychological Types which was published in [2]

DEFINITION:
A dichotomy is a division of two mutually exclusive groups, or in this case, type preferences.
Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) is a personality test designed to assist a person in identifying some significant personal preferences. Katharine Cook Briggs and her daughter Isabel Briggs Myers developed the Indicator during World War II, and its criteria follow from Carl Jung's theories in his work Psychological Types.[1]
The preferences (
Dichotomies Extraversion Introversion Sensing iNtuition Thinking Feeling Judging Perceiving A dichotomy is a division of two mutually exclusive groups, or in this case, type preferences.
Introvert and Extravert are referred to as ATTITUDES (outlook) and show how a person orients and receives their energy. In the extraverted attitude the energy flow is outward, and the preferred focus is on other people and things, whereas in the introverted attitude the energy flow is inward, and the preferred focus is on one's own thoughts, ideas and impressions.
Sensing and Intuition are the perceiving functions (or ways of gathering information). These are the nonrational functions, as a person does not necessarily have control over receiving data, but only how to process it once they have it. Sensing people tend to focus on the present and on concrete information gained from their senses. Sensing prefers to receive data primarily from the five senses. Intuitives tend to focus on the future, with a view toward patterns and possibilities. These people prefer to receive data from other people and meanings that cannot be tested.
Thinking and Feeling are ways people make decision. They both strive to make rational choices, using the data received from their perceiving functions, above. Thinking people tend to base their decisions on logic "true or false, if-then" connections and on objective analysis of cause and effect. Feeling people tend to base their decisions primarily on values and on subjective evaluation of person centered concerns. Feelings use "more or less, better-worse" evaluations. It could be said that thinkers decide with their heads, while feelers decide with their hearts. When Thinking or Feeling is extraverted, decisions tend to rely on external sources and the generally accepted rules and procedures. When introverted, Thinking and Feeling decisions tend to be subjective, relying on internally generated ideas for logical organization and evaluation.
Judging and Perceiving reveals the specific attitudes of dealing with others. J or P records which of the strongest of the judging functions or perceiving functions is outwardly displayed. People who prefer judging tend to like a planned and organized approach to life and prefer to have things settled. People who prefer Perceiving tend to like a flexible and spontaneous approach to life and prefer to keep their options open.
