C.A. Meier was president of the C. G. Jung Institute in Zurich where he succeeded Jung himself.

In the book ‘Personality: The Individuation Process in the Light of C.G. Jung’s Typology,’ as well as in his book ‘Consciousness‘ Carl Alfred Meier offers the following typings to the reader. Meier’s typings are somewhat strange: He professes to follow Jung, but then digresses from him. And there only appears to be room for very extraordinary individuals in his treatment of typology. Never the less, here is what he thought:
