Carl Jung’s theory of Psychological Type posits that each of us has a preferred primary or principal mental function that focuses and filters our understanding of the world. In this workshop, we will examine the 6 basic components that comprise this dominant mental function and give structure to each of his 8 psychological types.
Jung’s first distinction is between the two Attitude-Types of the Extraverted Type and the Introverted Type as a function of whether one’s energy is drawn to engage with objects in the outer world (Extraverted), or whether one’s energy tends to withdraw or disengage from objects in the objective world and focus on the inward, subjective impression within ourselves (Introverted).
Once we’ve established our preferred Attitude-Types, we will examine Jung’s descriptions of the four Function-Types – Thinking, Feeling, Sensation, and Intuition – and discuss how we may resonate with and employ each in everyday situations. Then we will look at how each of these Function-Types combines with each of the Attitude-Types to create 8 distinctive conscious orientations that characterize separate psychological types when differentiated into a dominant or principal function.
Lastly, in conversation as a group, we will share experiences and insights and develop some takeaway points for each of Jung’s 8 dominant functions.
