JUNGIAN TYPOLOGY POST #5: RESOURCES FOR EASIER READING OF CHAPTER 11 OF PSYCHOLOGICAL TYPES

There are some very important topics covered in Chapter 11 of Psychological Types, that people don't know much about, because they only read Chapter 10.

Probably the most important topic covered in Chapter 11 is the differentiation of the functions. It talks about many different stages of differentiation, including stage 4 (full differentiation), and what the functions look like in those different stages. It is Chapter 11, where Jung very highly suggests, if not explicitly says, that the function order for stage 4 is eeii for extroverts and iiee for introverts. Also in this chapter, we get an introduction to Jung's 141 types! Yes, he had 141 of them. Not just the 16 we've grown accustomed to.

I know, personally, because of my brain injury and dyslexia, I have a hard time reading Jung, unless I'm reading a children's version, like I had back in the day, of Man And His Symbols.

So, I have found reading Jung on other people's blogs, with them explaining it, to be helpful. Here's 3 really good blog articles I found, that helped Chapter 11 of Psychological Types to make sense to me:

I hope these articles help you to be able to understand those very vital concepts in Jung's Chapter 11, and that you can grow in your knowledge of what Jung wanted the functions to be like, and the many different types he had. I explore 57 of the 141 types in my "True Types " section of the blog, if you want to see examples of some of Jung's 141 types. Happy typing!
