Before going further into the theoretical aspects of the basic functions and relations between them, the types are briefly described in terms of behaviour, which for example can be observed during a meeting. This way a quick understanding of the four basic types, the foundations of Jung's typology, is obtained. The feeling type focuses himself particularly on the feelings that exist between people. He attaches importance to fine relations between the members of the assembly. It is the type that wants to keep people together.
Results are of less importance.
The rational type focuses himself particularly on substantial research results. He is the type that wants to have a firm, objective and analytic research to be done before he decides anything. The intuitive or contemplative type wants to see the subject of the meeting in a larger, more inclusive and strategic context. This type hates rash action, and is as such opposite to the next type. The sensational or pragmatic type wants to actually put something into effect, and do it as fast as possible.
