Jungian MBTI seems like an oxymoron; after all, Jung himself came up with the foundational concepts of the psychological functions. Despite that, typology wasn't a thing he spent a lot of time on, but the more I explore the subject the deeper I find it goes. I've come to believe that combining the MBTI with Jungian archetypes can be a powerful method of achieving personal and spiritual growth.
The posts in this series are advanced topics. I need to write an introductory post but in the meantime, below is an excerpt from an old post I'd written on the MBTI:
A personality typing system by Katharine Cook Briggs and Isabel Briggs Myers based on Jung’s theory of the four functions of the psyche. There are 16 different MBTI types in total based on the following dichotomies: introversion/extroversion, sensation/intuition, thinking/feeling, and judging/perceiving (rational/irrational). From the beginning the MBTI has been especially popular in the world of business; Meyers herself worked with the personnel manager of a major bank who went on to found one of the first consulting firms in the US.
