Asked 2 months ago · Viewed 3,094 times
Under Analytical Psychology proposed by Carl Jung, psychological types of personality are classified on the basis of Introversion and Extraversion. Additionally, Jung included four fundamental psychological functions—Thinking, Feeling, Sensing, and Intuition. If a person relies entirely on their internal thoughts, arguments, abstract principles, and self-analysis to solve a philosophical or scientific problem, and cares minimally about social approval from the outside world, according to Jung's classification, under which specific type will their personality fall?
✓ Correct! Well done.
✗ Not quite — the correct answer is highlighted above.
Detailed Explanation
According to Carl Jung's theory of personality, when the 'Thinking' function is internally directed and the individual focuses heavily on their own conceptual framework, principles, and arguments rather than external facts or social norms, it is called the 'Introverted Thinking Type'. Such individuals possess philosophical, theoretical, or scientific tendencies and remain occupied in their inner intellectual world.
