Do you know and understand your personality type, and are you introverted or extraverted? Is being sociable really a criterion for extraversion? Would you say that extraversion is progressive and introversion regressive? Carl Gustav Jung was a man born out of season and coined these terms. His response to these questions would have been surprisingly contradictory to popular belief. His views were controversial and revolutionary during his lifetime. When comparing the theories of Freud and the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator with the originating ideas of Jung's typology in search of empirical truth, all confusion is reconciled. Today, when many are yearning to understand the psyche, his writings are more relevant than ever before. Jung and You explores the dynamics of temperament, expounding the theory of psychological types. It also aims to present Jung's concepts, however complex, in simplified metaphorical narrative. It reveals the secrets of consciousness and the unconscious. When you have come to recognise and understand your own basic attitude, all other personality traits start to fit into that core. You would know your strengths as well as your weaknesses. You may also gain insight into the process of self-development and come to respect what eludes from within.
