Detailed Explanation
Carl Jung's Psychological Types
Carl Jung, in his influential book Psychological Types, classified personality primarily into two attitudes: Introversion and Extroversion.
Furthermore, he combined these two attitudes with four fundamental psychological functions:

- Sensation

By combining the 2 attitudes with the 4 functions, Jung derived a total of 8 distinct psychological personality types.
