...Describe and evaluate Carl Jung’s theory concerning personality types and show how they might usefully help a therapist to determine therapeutic goals Carl Jung was close friends with Freud having met in 1907 and for some time worked alongside him in collaboration developing the psychoanalytical movement. However approximately seven years later Jung ended the collaboration, as he had started to move away from Feud’s theories and disagreed with some vital areas, including the nature of libidinal energy, which Freud saw as mostly sexual and Jung saw as mostly spiritual and infantile sexuality as a cause of neurosis. There was also disagreement as to the importance of the libidinal energy, as Freud saw it as pivotal and the primary motivating force, while Jung saw it as one of several forces with equal importance. This led to Jung discarding Freud’s importance of the development of the child, as Jung was concerned with the development of the person across the life-span. From this point on he worked at developing his theory based on personality types. Here in is the beginning of Carl Jung’s theory of Personality Types, which I will now attempt to explain in my own words, but before I do I would like to use one of the infamous quotes from Carl Yung himself… "We need more understanding of human nature, because the only real danger that exists is man himself . . . We know nothing of man, far too little. His psyche should be studied because we are the origin of all coming evil...

Secondly, this essay will critically evaluate the first meeting of my team and my thoughts, feelings and behaviours. Thirdly, this essay with draw upon Tuckman’s team formulation theory to assist in the evaluation of a team meeting held on 16th August, 2009. Fourthly, this essay will also refer to the Myers-Briggs personality profile questionnaire to assist in analysing how different personalities impact on the effective formulation of team roles and responsibilities. The analysis of this critical incident will be referenced to the Kolb model that consists of concrete experience, reflective observations, abstract conceptualisation and active experimentation. On 30th September 2009, I had a significant experience where I took part in a communications exercise facilitated by my quite engaging KOLB tutor. The purpose of the exercise was to demonstrate the differences between one-way and two-way communication. Students were split into pairs where one student would sit behind the other. The student in front was given a blank A4 piece of paper and a pen. The student sitting behind them was given an A4 piece of paper with a series of shapes printed on it. The object was for the student sitting behind to tell the student sitting in front how to replicate the shapes onto their blank A4 piece of paper. The only rule was that the student listening to the instructions was not aloud...

...A Study of the INTJ Typology Utilizing the Meyers-Briggs Personality Test XXXXXXXXXXX Liberty University Online Abstract Utilizing the Meyers-Briggs Personality test, I have learned that my personality typology is INTJ. Personalities can be broken down into 4 categories, that consist of 2 types. This paper will develop each of the 4 categories in the INTJ typology (I - Introversion, N - iNtuition, T - Thinking and J - Judging), and the INTJ typology itself to confirm the test validity in determining my personality profile using the application of my personal experiences. I will also discuss aspects of Organizational behavior that were expressed in the writings of Kroeger, O.; Thuesen, J.; & Rutledge, H. Type Talk to Work, and in the power point presentation by Fisher, K (2009). A World View Perspective on Organizational Behavior. According to Carl Jung's research, everyone's personalities can be broken down into 4 categories, that consist of 2 types, E - Extraversion and I - Introversion, N - iNtuition and S - Sensing, T - Thinking and F - Feeling, J - Judging and P - Perceiving. Each person's personality is a combination of one preference in each categories. Utilizing the Meyers-Briggs Personality test, I have learned that my personality typology is INTJ. I will develop each of the 4 categories in my typology, and the combined typology while at the same time discuss their validity by using personal experiences in my life. STEP 1 I – Introversion An...

...The Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) is an assessment test based on Carl Jung’s psychological types and the attitude of introversion and extraversion. Carl Jung believed that much of our conscious perception of and reaction to our environment is determined by the opposing mental attitudes of extraversion and introversion. Extraversion is an attitude of the psyche characterized by an orientation toward the external world and other people. Introversion is an attitude of the psyche characterized by an orientation toward one’s own thoughts and feelings. According to Jung, everyone has the capacity for both attitudes, but only one becomes dominant in the personality (ENGLER, B 2014). The Myers Briggs assessment asked me a total of 72 questions about how I perceived things that have occurred in my life and my personal values and beliefs. My test result for the Jung typology test was personality type ENFJ....

...My first think piece paper for this class is about my personality type and it is quite interesting. I have never taken this personality test before and I’m not sure if this is the same test that the military uses to determine the type of personality that we are as service members. My personality test revealed that I’m INTJ (introversion, intuition, thinking, and judgment). INTJs are one of the rarest of the sixteen psychological types and account for approximately 1-2% of the population. The MBTI assessment was developed from the work of prominent psychiatrist Carl G. Jung in his book Psychological Types. Jung proposed a psychological typology based on the theories of cognitive functions that he developed through his clinical observations. From Jung's work, others developed psychological typologies. Jungian personality assessments include the MBTI instrument, developed by Isabel Briggs Myers and Katharine Cook Briggs, and the Keirsey Temperament Sorter, developed by David Keirsey. Keirsey referred to INTJs as Masterminds one of the four types belonging to the temperament he called the Rationals. Even though Mr. Keirsey has considered my personality type as that of a mastermind, I’m sure that my superiors and peers would laugh at the thought of such a thing. I am comfortable working alone and tend to be less sociable than other people. I’ve been in the U.S. Navy for 23 years and I’m in a senior leadership position. I don’t always lead, as part of training junior personnel...

...“Describe and evaluate Carl Jung’s theory concerning personality types and show how they might usefully help a therapist to determine therapeutic goals” Introduction Carl Gustav Jung (1875 – 1961) a Swiss born psychologist and psychiatrist was the founding father of the theory and methodology known as ‘Analytical Psychology’. In his early years Jung studied with and was heavily influenced by Freud. But would later have fundamental concerns with regard to Freud’s theories going on to develop his theories and practice of ‘Analytical Psychology’. Jung’s legacy and its impact on modern day psychology and the ‘psychologisation of religion’ in particular spirituality and the New Age movement are immense. Many of Jung’s original theories and methodology still influences the way psychologists and psychoanalysts practice today. Psychological concepts such as ‘archetype’, ‘collective unconscious’, ‘the complex’ and ‘synchronicity’ are Jungian precepts. The ‘Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) which is used today to measure an individuals perception of their surroundings and how their decisions are formed, is based on Jung’s ‘Typological theory’. Jung’s father being a pastor and his mother an atheist (in modern day terms) from an early age gave Jung the opportunity to consider and reflect on both “sides” of the religious vs non-believer question, along with the subsequent impact and conflicts within his own psyche. Throughout Jung’s life he expressed a keen interest in nature and...

...Jung's Theory. The influence of both genetics and heredity factors alongside upbringing, culture and experience are recognised as influencing an individual’s personality. Jung's work in this field extended way beyond understanding this general proposition about personality and he became one of the greatest thinkers of his time to have theorised about life and how people relate to it. He drew inspiration and guidance from the ancient models like astrology and Greek theology especially in regarding the Greek "Temperament theory" or the "four humours theory." The ancient Greeks 400BC believed in 'four temperaments'', however it was works of Hippocrates a Greek physician who developed it into a medical theory. He believed that certain human moods, emotions and behaviours were caused by body fluids called "humors": blood, phlegm, yellow bile, and black bile. These four body fluids were also linked to certain organs and illnesses. Later in history a Greek physician called Galen (AD 130-200) developed the first typology of temperament of these humors in his dissertation; Detemperamentis’ In the dissertation Galen mapped a matrix (Matrix is the place or point which something else originates) of hot\cold and dry\wet types taken from the four humors. He proposed that the balance of bodily fluids in the individual influenced different behaviour and in the ideal personality with an even deposition the complementary characteristics or warm-cool and dry-moist...

...Self-Assessment/Johari Window The originators of the Johari Window, Joe Luft and Harry Ingram, developed a model to improve self-awareness and promote understanding between individuals in a group. The model consists of four quadrants (or windows) that provides information that we know about ourselves, what we do not know about ourselves; what others know about us, and what others do not know about us. They state that communication involves information; however information is not static but moves from one quadrant to another by means of awareness, insight, self-disclosure, and feedback (Johari Window, 2009). This author completed a Jung Typology Test (2013), which noted a preference toward introversion (78%) over extraversion, sensing (12%) over intuition, thinking (38%) over feeling, and judging (33%) over perceiving. The essence of Jung's psychological type theory is that much seemingly random variation in behavior is actually quite orderly and consistent due to basic differences in the way individuals prefer to use their perceptions and judgment. Perception involves how people become aware. Judgment entails coming to conclusions about what has been perceived. Systematic differences in how perception and judgment are exercised lead to corresponding differences in behaviors, interests, values, motivations, and skills. Since the basic cognitive functions of perception and judgment enter into almost every behavior, the scope of practical applications of the MBTI is very wide...

In extreme cases, this need is so strong that standard give-and-take relationships are deeply unsatisfying to them; however, most ISFJs find more than enough with which to occupy themselves within the framework of a normal life. (Since ISFJs, like all SJs, are very much bound by the prevailing social conventions, their form of "service" is likely to exclude any elements of moral or political controversy; they specialize in the local, the personal, and the practical.) ISFJs are often unappreciated, at work, home, and play. Ironically, because they prove over and over that they can be relied on for their loyalty and unstinting, high-quality work, those around them often take them for granted--even take advantage of them. Admittedly, the problem is sometimes aggravated by the ISFJs themselves; for instance, they are notoriously bad at delegating ("If you want it done right, do it yourself"). And although they're hurt by being treated like doormats...

...Why an MBA University of Phoenix MGT/521 May 31, 2010 I could not decide if I wanted to go after my Master’s in Business Administration, or just stop at my bachelor’s degree. It took me 26 years to decide to go back to school to pursue my AA in Accounting, despite all the pressures, and pushing that I had received from my parents and my family members. So in 2006 I decided that it was time, I looked around to a variety of different colleges and decided that I wanted to attend University of Phoenix Online because I did not want to deal with going to classes, instead I preferred to stay home and be comfortable. After my associates in accounting I decided that because I could still not find a permanent job, I would go ahead and pursue my bachelors of arts in accounting as well. When I was in my last class of my bachelor’s degree, I was toying around with going after my master’s in business administration, and then what will I specialize in. I had been looking for jobs for quite some times on the Internet and in the papers for quite some time and have been sending out hundreds of resumes and have received no responses. I figured that if I went for a master’s degree it would open many more doors in the future. It was a tough decision on whether I wanted to pursue that master’s in business, after all I had been going to school now for the past four years, or if I should just stop at my bachelor’s degree and look for a job. It turned out that finding a job was not working out...

...[pic] CARL JUNG 1875 - 1961 Dr. C. George Boeree [pic] Anyone who wants to know the human psyche will learn next to nothing from experimental psychology. He would be better advised to abandon exact science, put away his scholar's gown, bid farewell to his study, and wander with human heart throught the world. There in the horrors of prisons, lunatic asylums and hospitals, in drab suburban pubs, in brothels and gambling-hells, in the salons of the elegant, the Stock Exchanges, socialist meetings, churches, revivalist gatherings and ecstatic sects, through love and hate, through the experience of passion in every form in his own body, he would reap richer stores of knowledge than text-books a foot thick could give him, and he will know how to doctor the sick with a real knowledge of the human soul. -- Carl Jung Freud said that the goal of therapy was to make the unconscious conscious. He certainly made that the goal of his work as a theorist. And yet he makes the unconscious sound very unpleasant, to say the least: It is a cauldron of seething desires, a bottomless pit of perverse and incestuous cravings, a burial ground for frightening experiences which nevertheless come back to haunt us. Frankly, it doesn't sound like anything I'd like to make conscious! A younger colleague of his, Carl Jung, was to make the exploration of this "inner space" his life's work. He went equipped with a background in Freudian theory, of course, and with an apparently inexhaustible...

...CHAPTER 6 A CRITIQUE OF THE EIGHT PSYCHOLOGISTS Sigmund Freud While Freudian theory is vulnerable to criticisms of being unscientific and too reductionistic (though behaviorists criticize it for not being reductionistic enough), classic psychoanalysis does offer a comprehensive system of personality, pathology, and therapy that has made a lasting contribution to an understanding of human behavior, especially in such areas as defense mechanisms, the reality of unconscious mental dynamics, and the psychodynamics of dreams. Freud’s work was characterized by originality, boldness, and power of communication. In his theory of neurosis, he captured the tragic dimension of human existence, particularly in the selfdestructive antithesis of instinctual conflict. The locus of these destructive impulses is internalized in the individual and not merely derivative from civilization. In this respect, Freud’s portrayal of the human condition has more depth than romantic humanism and yields significant points of correlation with the Christian understanding of sin, guilt, and the need for redemption. Regarding Freud’s theory of personality, there appears to be no unified structure or functional unity between the id, the ego, and the superego, and these personality components are described in intuitive and literary terms that elude scientific analysis. Instead, they are often personified as homunculi that operate in monochromatic ways, yielding a theory...
