Jung's Psychological Types
In this influential work published while he was working on the Red Book, Jung differentiated people into two groups, extraverts (outward-looking) and introverts (inward-looking). These terms have become so common that most people do not realize that Jung formalized them into a diagnostic tool for understanding the different ways people psychologically process their experiences. Using Jungs theories, Katharine Cook Briggs (18751968) and her daughter, Isabel Briggs Myers (18971980) developed the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI), published in 1962. The MBTI is widely used in business and education to measure psychological preferences in how people perceive the world and make decisions.
