Discuss Carl Jung's notion of extraversion and introversion.

What will be an ideal response?


A. Carl Jung's ideas of extraversion and introversion are not the same as most people's views of extraversion and introversion. To Carl Jung, an extravert is not necessarily someone who is socially outgoing; rather, it is someone who looks at things objectively-in much the same way that others look at them.

B. An introvert, in Carl Jung's psychology, is someone who takes a personalized or individualistic view of the world. An introvert is in tune with his or her subjective world, including dreams, unique opinions, biases, and fantasies. Introverts have a minority view of things and look to their own standards rather than socially popular standards.

C. Besides the levels of the psyche and the dynamics of personality, Jung recognized various psychological types that grow out of a union of two basic attitudes-introversion and extraversion-and four separate functions-thinking, feeling, sensing, and intuiting.
