WHAT IS PSYCHOLOGICAL TYPE?
Theory developed by Carl Jung (1875-1961) to explain some of the apparently random differences in people's behaviour.
- From his observations he found predictable and differing patterns of normal behaviour
- His theory recognizes the existence of these patterns, or types, and provides an explanation of how types develop
- Predictable differences in individuals are caused by differences in the way people prefer to use their minds
- The core idea is that, when your mind is active, you are involved in one of two mental activities
- Taking in information, Perceiving; or
- Organizing that information and coming to conclusions, Judging
