The Lenore Thomson Exegesis Wiki

Psychological Types

Psychological Types is a book by Carl Jung. In Psychological Types, Jung proposed the basic distinction between extraversion and introversion, and further proposed that there are four functions through which we have conscious experience, each capable of being directed in an extraverted or introverted way.

Jung proposed eight psychological types, each with a different dominant function:

Four "rational types":

An Extraverted Thinking type.
An Introverted Thinking type.
An Extraverted Feeling type.
An Introverted Feeling type.

Four "irrational types":

An Extraverted Sensation type.
An Introverted Sensation type.
An Extraverted Intuition type.
An Introverted Intuition type.

How much commonality is there between Lenore Thomson's stuff and Carl Jung's? That's an open question and a great topic for posting to this wiki.
