By Kelley L. Ross, Ph.D. It was intriguing to read about Pauli’s relationship with Jung and his ideas about using Jung in physics. I’m not sure it works very well, which of course is Pauli’s problem, not that of the admins. Yet I have some criticisms: When you say: “As long as nobody’s looking, observing,...

Here are some of the insights that came to us through studying Jungian sources. 1: Jungian Extroversion and Introversion Being an extrovert or introvert in the Jungian system is not the same as being extroverted or introverted in behavioristic...

“No one before Plato [nor anyone] since has managed the extremely difficult art of dramatic debate on philosophic topics with such … fascinating art, aided by the union of dialectical subtlety with mystical yearnings, a subtlety which seems to give a hope to mysticism, and a warrant to transcendentalism.” – G.H. Lewes: Aristotle, Smith, Elder...

By Eva Gregersen One of the current trends in Jungian typology is “face reading,” that is, the idea that people’s types can be determined by either their physical appearance or their eye movements or facial gestures. At CelebrityTypes, we have been roundly critical of “face reading” (here, here, here, and here). However, we have perhaps...

By Ryan Smith When asked how good they are at interpersonal communication, most people think that they’re either good or about average. But in fact, if we could look at the whole of human communication from a psychologist’s perspective, it would soon become obvious that most people are abysmally bad at communicating with others. In...

By Jesse Gerroir Within the field of Jungian typology, Feeling and emotion are often thought to be same thing. While the best literature is careful not to confuse the two, I find that a lot of beginners, and even those more read, tend to be confused about what exactly is meant by Feeling within the...

We recently received an email suggesting that Bill Clinton is ENFP, rather than ESFP. Our correspondent submitted the following  arguments to us: The ESFP was called “the Performer” by Myers, and ESFPs often play the clown.
