Since many of our visitors are having a hard time accepting that many of their favorite artists might be S types, we will now provide a Jungian argument for why that might that may be the case. We do not personally agree with Jung on this point, but we have not seen the point elaborated[…] Continue Reading

A young boy was raised on Disney. Just a few DVDs ago, the boy had no qualifications in life, but he already feels like Disney has taught him everything he needs to know. “What a great friend I have in Disney!” the boy thinks to himself as he skips down the street with a spring[…] Continue Reading
Written by Ric Velasquez – edited by the CT Admins for publication, and used with permission When it comes to determining the types of musicians, one ubiquitous problem seems to be that people don’t separate the musician as a person from the music that that person has created. But if you want your typings to hold[…] Continue Reading
In the article below, an acquaintance of ours attempts to explain the basics of oppositional function pairs. Gerroir contributes with his personal understanding of the system. We at CelebrityTypes do not necessarily agree with Gerroir on every point, but we found his article an insightful read and will now share it with you. Written by[…] Continue Reading
Articles documenting how C.G. Jung identified various people as more than one type are becoming something of a theme for us here at CelebrityTypes (Jung on Freud, Jung on Adler, Jung on his own type.) We don’t by any means blame Jung – we correct and update our own assessments quite incurably ourselves, and besides,[…] Continue Reading

V.W. Odajnyk (author of ‘Archetype and Character‘) identifies Adler as ENFP* and as having Manic-Depressive traits. Walter Kaufmann (author of ‘Discovering the Mind’) identifies Adler as an[…] Continue Reading
In an earlier post we argued why the physicist Neil deGrasse Tyson is ENFJ. And if you are into physicists that are in the habit of making science-popularizing performances, you may also be familiar with the British physicist Brian Cox, whom we estimate to be ENFP. These two men showcase how Extroverted Feeling (Fe) and[…] Continue Reading
James Graham Johnston Jung’s Compass of Psychological Types MSE Press 2011 An overlooked and unusual contribution to the study of Jungian typology was released in 2011 under the name of Jung’s Compass of Psychological Types. It was written by James Graham Johnston, who is apparently a Jungian before he is a typologist (rather than a[…] Continue Reading
Through our reading of the literature on Jungian typology, both online and offline, we have seen at least three popular actors in the field propose the idea that “Te is Deductive and Ti is Inductive.” Our argument is as follows: (1) Neither of those functions can be reduced to being merely deductive or inductive, but[…] Continue Reading
In 1941, 20 years after the publication of Psychological Types, Robert H. Loeb wrote a personal letter to Jung, postulating that if one were to make an analogy between the field of Psychology and the field of Physics, Freud would be like Newton and Jung would be like Einstein. To this comparison, Jung had the[…] Continue Reading
