Asked 2 months ago · Viewed 24 times
Under Carl Jung's 'Analytical Psychology', besides the classification of personality into Introvert and Extrovert, four basic functional types used by him in determining psychological types are Thinking, Feeling, Sensation, and Intuition. Making a philosophical and scientific analysis of these, if a person prioritizes internal value-oriented feelings instead of logical analysis to reach a decision, and also focuses their energy on their inner mental world rather than the external social world, according to Jung's classification, under which of the following categories will this specific personality type most appropriately fall?
✓ Correct! Well done.
✗ Not quite — the correct answer is highlighted above.
Detailed Explanation
In his famous personality theory, Carl Jung divided personality into two major categories—introvert and extrovert—based on the flow of mental energy (libido), and coupled them with four basic psychological functions (thinking, feeling, sensation, and intuition). When an individual is introverted (absorbed in inner experiences) and their primary evaluative function is 'feeling' (i.e., making decisions based on values and emotions), they fall under the 'Introverted Feeling Type'.
