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? |
Because people don't have "features" people use to act in some certain ways more often that others... and that's all. You can be open to certain situations and closed to others, if you remain closed to every new situation... you'll probably die or so... and if you remain open for every new situation too... you'll probably die too... there are people more risky and people less risky. And the skill to risk or not is in everyone. It's like temperature... it's not "Cold or Hot"... there are degrees... and it changes... or "Black or White"
I don't see any correlation... he's just describing personality... he chooses four traits that can go to 0 from 100 in everyone, and observes how people is if they are 60-40-20-90 or other thing... If you are 60 whatever it does not mean much... but if you're 90 (or 10) whatever it means much because you have a trait very intense on you. That defines you the most.
I'm very perceiver instead of judging. I'm supposed to be an ENFP... today, or the last day I took some test... but my E is not very intense compared to the P. Every combination of the four traits intensities are different personalities. And even the same! because obviously I don't think it's all so simple but Jung wanted to talk about 4 traits only, if he used 100.... with his percentages... the test would be so long that no-one will do them... He tries to simplify...
Are you tall or short? It's not a binary thing.... "Yes, absolutely tall/short" "old/young", it's the same thing but not in physical traits but personality...
