Jungian Type & Views of Psychology
Posted By Michael On 10th November 2006 @ 01:10 In psychology | No Comments
There are generally two types of people: the Jungian “Feeling” types that are very suspicious of psychology because they are simply “too unique to be put into a box” (like all the other people who can be categorized into that same group, ironically enough) and who believe that psychology exists only to impose external, arbitrary, restrictive boundaries on the nature of humanity (these are quick to point out that humans are so different that they are hardly categorizable); and the Jungian “Thinking” types, who are suspicious of psychology because it is so soft and subjective a science, such a framework that allows so much play in comparison to, say, biology. Both are right and wrong; isn’t that interesting! Where do you fall on the continuum?
