Detailed Explanation
Carl Jung separated from Freud and presented his 'Analytical Psychology', in which he divided personality mainly into 'introvert' and 'extrovert' based on the direction of flow of libido (mental energy). Along with this, he explained the complex nature of personality by combining four psychological functions—thinking, feeling, sensation, and intuition. Furthermore, the concepts of 'collective unconscious' and 'archetypes' (such as anima, animus, shadow) are central to his theory.
