Personality Typing

This AI generated discussion of Jung’s study of personality types is interesting and informative. I didn’t know that the personality types were clearly defined and testable. I took personality tests in college classes on career paths. I am now 77 years old. I have become more introverted and the information presented has helped me realize that staying introverted as you age is not helpful. I’m am trying to understand the Shadow concept presented in this book. More than 1 listen is needed to understand all the concepts presented.

Basic information

Excellent summary of basic Jungian concepts and how to apply these for greater understanding of the process of individuation.

A long magazine article

This book might give a newcomer a sense of Jungian theory of personality but explains nothing of the intricacies. It’s mostly a series of rather superficial descriptions of terms of art.
