Psychological Types: Or, the Psychology of Individuation

Psychological Types: Or, the Psychology of Individuation
By Carl Gustav Jung (1875 - 1961)
Translated by Helton Godwin Baynes (1882 - 1943)

Curious about the theoretical foundation behind the widely used Myers–Briggs Type Indicator Personality Test? Carl Gustav Jung’s Psychological Types: Or, the Psychology of Individuation presents the seminal ideas that laid the groundwork for modern personality theory. In this groundbreaking work, Jung introduces three key psychological dichotomies—extraversion/introversion, sensation/intuition, and thinking/feeling—as a way of understanding the diverse ways individuals perceive and interact with the world.

Published as part of his effort to reconcile the differing psychological theories of Sigmund Freud and Alfred Adler, Jung's typology became a cornerstone of both depth psychology and personality theory. His insights into human consciousness and the process of individuation offer a profound exploration of how individuals develop their unique psychological identities.
