Young Jung

Those of you into Jung (I like him better than Frued) probably have heard of the Myer-Briggs personality test. (MBTI)

You know the one, where it figures out where you are on 4 continuums:

Extrovert or Introvert
iNtuitive or Sensor
Thinker or Feeler
Playful Pack-rat or Judgeful Junk-tosser.

Okay, that's NOT what the J and the P stand for, exactly, but it's certainly in the right ballpark.

"Please Understand Me" is an easy read and a good read on this - and NO I am not in anyway associated with the book or the theory, or any of it, I just like it, and it is one of the few books that actually help, not just entertain.

It helps explain your boss, your friends - or lack there of, your kids, your spouse or potential spouse. You can teach the method to children. I builds respect between people. It explains our differences.

I've never been to one of their parties, where you get clumped with other people who have the same 4 letters that you do - the quiz puts you into one of 16 basic human personality types, and teaches you to see that most people fit into one of these 16 personality groups.
