Personality: Theories & Types
Asked 3 months ago · Viewed 3,210 times
In Analytical Psychology propounded by Carl Jung, personality types are classified primarily on the basis of psychological attitudes—Introvert and Extrovert—and four basic mental functions—Thinking, Feeling, Sensation, and Intuition. In contrast, Eduard Spranger described six types of personality based on values (Theoretical, Economic, Aesthetic, Social, Political, and Religious). If a person always considers logical analysis, the pursuit of objective truth, and intellectual principles as the highest basis of their life, what will be their mental function according to Jung's classification and their value type according to Spranger's classification respectively?
✓ Correct! Well done.
✗ Not quite — the correct answer is highlighted above.
Detailed Explanation & Solution
According to Carl Jung's personality theory, individuals who prioritize logical analysis and intellectual principles belong to the 'Thinking' mental type. Meanwhile, Eduard Spranger divided personality based on human values in his famous book 'Types of Men', under which individuals dedicated to the pursuit of truth and intellectual knowledge fall into the 'Theoretical' value category.
