By Sigurd Arild and Ryan Smith “…it is often very difficult to find out whether a person belongs to one type or the other…” – Jung: Psychological Types §3 A popular means of assertion to back up one’s own type assessments in an argument is to state that someone is “obviously” a certain type instead of producing...

By Guilherme Varela and Ryan Smith Disclaimer: This article relies on a methodology that we usually caution our readers against, namely confounding mental processes (functions) with mental contents (specific positions and beliefs). Therefore, if someone were to protest the method employed here, we would immediately have to grant them the point. Nevertheless, in the absence...

By Ryan Smith I once knew an INTJ. He was amongst the five best people I’ve ever known when it comes to determining other people’s types. For the most part, we were in complete agreement as to people’s types, but once in a while, in complex or atypical cases, we disagreed on how to operationalize or...

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...

One is fed from unconscious premises, governed by what is important to the individual (Ti), and one is fed from external data and direct sense-perception (Te). Extroverted functions are oriented to external data and to cognizing external data objectively,...

In this...

Since then, other schools of personality studies have emerged, and now modern science seems to be converging on the idea of the trait theory and the Big Five personality traits. As such, with regards...
