Sonu Shamdasani is a historian of psychology, writing primarily about Jung. There is one of Shamdasani’s claims that we must disagree with, and that is that Shamdasani appears to think that Jung didn’t care for Plato. In his 2006 book, C.G. Jung – A Biography in Books, Shamdasani writes that: “Henri Bergson once noted that to[…] Continue Reading

Articles attempting to link Jungian typology to aesthetic preferences have always been popular, but unfortunately many of them are of poor quality, along the lines of “ISTPs like Bloodhound Gang and ESFJs like roses and rainbows.” With the help of a prior study by Joan Evans, D.Litt., we will nevertheless attempt to give an outline[…] Continue Reading

Continued from Why Freud is ISTJ, Part 1. Written by the CT Admins in reply to the comment by AndrahilAdrian here. We are glad to see some elaboration for the argument that Freud is INTJ. It is clear that AndrahilAdrian has a very strong intuition that Freud is INTJ, and as we said, we used[…] Continue Reading
Comment: Freud has got to be an INTJ. It seems unlikely that an Si-dom would have invented a field as abstract, personalized, and disconnected from reality as psychoanalysis. Almost every quote on your infographic could just as easily apply to an INTJ. Freud didn’t use a data-oriented approach; he generalized from his own and his patients’[…] Continue Reading

The ‘Color Q Personality’ is yet another “MBTI by another name”, created by Shoya Zichy. We do not think it adds much to the understanding of Jungian typology, but on the other hand, it appears that Zichy has been very prolific in searching out celebrities and getting them to take her personality test. In this[…] Continue Reading
The following article assumes that the reader has some familiarity with the philosophy of Immanuel Kant and his understanding of the phenomenon/noumenon-divide. The noumenon was very important for Jung, and in Psychological Types §659 he even assumed that Ni types could see into the noumenon. But why should the noumenon even exist? Many people, especially[…] Continue Reading
SUMMARY OF THIS ARTICLE Adam Grant calls the MBTI “useless” but can’t cite a single study to back up his claim. Grant faults the MBTI for not being able to evaluate job performance. But the MBTI doesn’t claim to be able to do that. So Grant is ignorant of what the MBTI does and doesn’t[…] Continue Reading
