Psychological Types

Psychological Types (1921) presents a groundbreaking theory of human personality and cognition, exploring the concepts of introversion and extraversion, alongside four cognitive functions—thinking, feeling, sensation, and intuition. It offers a comprehensive framework for understanding individual differences in how people perceive the world and make decisions.

Carl Jung (1875-1961) was a Swiss psychiatrist and psychoanalyst who founded analytical psychology. He authored numerous influential works, including The Psychology of the Unconscious (1912), Psychology and Religion (1938), and Synchronicity (1952) and held the position of first president of the International Psychoanalytical Association. Jung's contributions to psychology earned him honorary doctorates from multiple universities, including Harvard and Oxford, and his ideas continue to influence fields ranging from psychiatry and anthropology to literature and religious studies.
