Synopsis

"Psychological Types" is Jung's pinnacle work and the core theory of Jung's analytical psychology. Jung believed that a person's personality depends on eight individual psychological tendencies, and people with different psychological tendencies exhibit greatly different behavioral patterns. After the book was published, scholars from various countries also conducted research on these eight psychological types and explored these psychological tendencies from more angles. The Briggs mother and daughter in the United States developed the now very popular MBTI personality assessment tool based on Jung's psychological typology; David Kelsey in the United States used the same dimensional structure as MBTI to create Kelsey's temperament type; a Lithuanian psychologist applied Jung's psychological typology to create the Socionics theory.

Reader comments

The content of the first three chapters contains a lot of content about philosophy and religion. If you have difficulty reading and want to understand psychological classification, you can skip the last chapter. They are not closely related and do not affect reading.

This book is very interesting! It mentioned that human personality is determined by 8 psychological tendencies, which gave me a greater understanding of my own behavior and the behavior of those around me. The book also introduces some of the development of psychology, which is very interesting. For example, Jung said, "People at that time always liked to observe and evaluate their fellow humans from a biological perspective." This sentence was really enlightening and made me realize that there is a big difference in the evaluation of people in ancient times and modern times. I think this book is worth reading and will make you think more deeply about psychology.

The previous part involves philosophy, which is a bit difficult to understand, but the last chapter is relatively easy to understand.
