- W2592451981 abstract "Unlike psychological instruments in general, the Myers–Briggs Type Indicator is, as its name suggests, designed to indicate to a theory – C.G. Jung's theory of psychological types. This is a key reason why feedback is required as part of taking the MBTI. Furthermore, while its structure reflects core principles of Jung's theory e.g. • scales with a mid-point; and • the ends of each scale being equally preferable opposites, not extremes; the core of his theory of types lays outside the MBTI itself. The four letter codes or formulas devised by Isabel Myers report a person's preferences as recorded on the MBTI. They are designed also to interpret those results in terms of the dynamics of the type theory, based on the interaction of the functions (S–N;T–F) and the Jungian attitudes (E–I). J and P, of course simply refer to which function is extraverted, or used in the outer world and is a key method of Isabel Myers for making Jung's theory practical by asking the question does this look like in the outer world? Isabel emphasised the importance of type dynamics by writing her type descriptions in the order of dominant to inferior preferences. She also structured her Type Table so that those with the same dominant function were either adjacent to each other, or on opposite boundaries of the Table. It's important to note that there are various ways of describing Jung's theory. It's a theory of opposites, as mentioned above. It's also: • Jung's theory of perception and judgement; • Jung's theory of consciousness; and • Jung's theory of individuation All of these ideas overlap one another, as well as with Jung's idea of personality as a vocation or calling – who you are and who you are meant to be. Purpose is quite important in type theory. Vocation of course is outside the narrow notion of a career, although there can be a strong relationship. What is type dynamics? Essentially it's the interaction of a person’s type preferences, preferred and non-preferred, occurring throughout their lifetime. This interaction has a developmental focus, and is contingent on a person's level of Jung’s idea of consciousness, which seems to be related to an awareness of self, and purpose Type theory presumes that initially all the functions are unconscious in a human being. Whether development of consciousness starts in the womb or occurs at birth is uncertain, but current scientific research would indicate that consciousness of some sort begins in utero. Jung in any case believed that we are born with an innate predisposition to type and that our life saw the interplay of the functions according to that predisposition. This depended, of course, on whether or not the person’s environment supported and acknowledged those innate preferences. This is a potential activity: not everyone is conscious (in Jung’s terms), nor is everyone a type. The level of consciousness is determined by the exercising of the functions and their differentiation i.e the conscious preference for the use of one function (e.g. Sensing) over its opposite (iNtuition). Jung considered this differentiation occurred in an hierarchical pattern across the life-span. It is a major explanation for mid-life crises or issues, a field of research in which Jung was a pioneer. Using the example above as a starting point, this is how it works: As a child develops from a baby, it naturally seeks its own identity. Part of this search involves the development of preferences for interacting with the world. If the child develops a preference for Sensing at this stage, it will prefer more practical situations related to tangible things: action oriented and hands on if extraverted sensing. If this is the case, then extraverted Sensing (Se) may become that child's dominant function. The dominant preference can be apparent quite early in life, but more certain around 6 or so years. There's no specific time, but a broader time-frame such as occurs in child development. In observing children, you'd be looking for consistent patterns in their interests and behaviour." @default.
