Jungian foundation
¶
The
Jungian foundation
(
базис Юнга
in Russian) refers to the original four dichotomies proposed by
Jung
and adapted somewhat by
Augusta
:
Extraversion / Introversion
(sometimes called ‘Extratim / Introtim’)
Sensing / Intuition
(Sensing is sometimes called ‘Sensory’)
Ethical / Logical
Rational / Irrational
(occasionally called ‘Shizotyme / Cyclotyme’ or ‘Rigid / Labile’)
One trait of each dichotomy is dominant for each type. Any combination of these traits is possible, producing 16 types (24 = 16). Two of Jung’s dichotomies – rational/irrational and extraverted/introverted – are uniform across all types. In other words, an IEE is just as extraverted (in the Jungian sense!) as an SLE. The other two dichotomies – sensing/intuitive and ethical/logical – are non-uniform. In other words, an ESE is not sensing in the same way that an SEE is, and an ILI is “more” intuitive than an LIE.
