Okay. I understood that. But how, in first place, does define A and define B?
Why in the world should a person who is "usually more open to new situations and dangerous environments" necessarily have the other features that Jung would categorize under the tag "extrovert"?
And why would a person who usually "thinks rather than acting" be an "introvert"?
Where did Jung take the freedom to make those connections/correlations?
