117 | Jungian Typology - 04 - INFJ

Here is a short four-part series in which some of the core essentials of Jungian typology are distilled. In part 1, we look at the issue of attitude (extroversion and introversion); in part 2, we unpack the perceiving/learning functions (sensation and intuition); in part 3, we look at the judging/deciding functions (feeling and thinking); and in part 4, we use the INFJ as a case study to explore how Jungian typology may help us to think about type and growth. The aim of the series is to get past the usual caricatures of Jung's thinking that we find in some Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) descriptions. For those who want to take this a little further, here are some resources that you might find helpful:

Naomi Quenk's 'Was That Really Me?' is also very useful for exploring the significance of the so-called "inferior function of each type."
