understanding ourselves
c.g. jung's psychological functions
Preface
"When I first discovered psychological type it provided me with
so many answers: why two people would react so differently to the same
situation; why they would approach the same task from completely different
angles; why something would appeal to one and repulse the other; how
they could completely misunderstand what each other was saying. . .
. [Then] came the questions. Why are some people flexible and adaptable
with their type, while others are trapped and restricted by their type?"
--Angelina Bennet, The Shadows of Type 9 (Lulu, 2010)
"Much as one might use a compass to determine where one is in
the physical world, Jung's typology is a tool for psychological orientation,
a guide to understanding both oneself and many of the difficulties that
arise in relationships . . .
Jung's model [of psychological types] is concerned
with the movement of psychic energy and the way in which one habitually,
or by preference, orients oneself in the world.
. . . . Jung differentiates eight typological groups:
two personality attitudes--introversion and extraversion--and
four functions (modes of orientation)--thinking,
sensation, intuition and feeling--each
of which may operate in an introverted or extraverted way.
* * * *
Introversion and extraversion are psychological modes of adaptation.
In the former, the movement of energy is toward the inner world. In
the latter, interest is directed toward the outer world. In one case
the subject (one's own inner reality) and in the other the object (things
and other people, outer reality) is of primary importance.
* * * *
The function of thinking refers to the process of cognitive
thought; sensation is perception by means of the physical sense
organs; feeling is the function of subjective judgment or valuation;
and intuition refers to perception by way of the unconscious
. . . .
* * * *
[I]n practice the four functions are not equally at
one's conscious disposal; that is, they are not uniformly developed
or differentiated. Invariably one or the other is more developed, called
the primary or superior function, while the rest remain inferior, relatively
undifferentiated."
--Daryl Sharp, Jungian Psychology Unplugged: My Life as an Elephant
10, 11 (Toronto: Inner City Books, 1998)
"For the truth is, full human consciousness has still to be won.
It is waiting to be born from a marriage that has not yet taken place,
that only can take place at the deepest level of the psyche--the
marriage between thinking and feeling. In everyday life these two functions
tend to be antagonistic except in certain moments of high crisis. And
while this is so, human consciousness is a crippled thing."
--Alan McGlashan, Savage and Beautiful Country: The Secret Life
of the Mind 55 (New York: Hillstone, 1967)
