You've probably heard of Carl Gustav Jung - a famous psychiatrist from Switzerland, the founder of Jungian psychology. Jung's works reached the peak of their popularity in the second half of the twentieth century and had a huge impact on the development of psychology. Today, tests based on his theory are widely used in personnel assessment, team building, coaching and simply for personal development.
Carl Jung is rightfully considered one of the founders of analytical psychodiagnostics. His work on the typing of personality traits became the basis for the development of many theories and scientific research. For example, the popular Myers-Briggs questionnaire is also based on Jung's typology. Jung's typology is based on the identification of dominant traits on the extroversion-introversion, logic-feelings and intuition-sensation scales.
Jung's Personality Type Test
Jung's typology implies that having learned the result on each scale, you can ultimately classify any person as a certain personality type. Each of these personality types has stable character traits, behavior patterns towards other people, strengths and weaknesses, and a predisposition to certain professions.
Why is it important to know your Jung type? Understanding your personality traits and advantages will allow you to better organize your life and make more informed decisions. Knowing your preferences in interactions with other people will allow you to avoid conflict situations and choose a convenient social circle. You will be able to better understand the underlying motives of your behavior. In addition, you will learn how suitable your personality type is for a particular profession.
Please note that there is no connection between this test and the Myers-Briggs Foundation or MBTI™.
