Jung's Extended Typological Scales

MBTI testJung's Extended Type Scales are an alternative to the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI test). Carl Jung (1875-1961) was a Swiss psychiatrist who proposed a theory of psychological types. Katharine Briggs and her daughter, Isabel Myers, took up and developed his theory. Passionate about personality, they studied his work in depth. They thus developed the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator. This classified people into 16 different types based on four dichotomies: introversion-extraversion, sensing-intuition, thinking-feeling, and judging-perceiving. The first three were adapted from Jung and the last one developed by Myers-Briggs. So, for example, a person could be extroverted-sensing-feeling-perceiving (ESFP) or introverted-intuition-thinking-judging (INTJ). Jung's extended typology scales offer us a free, reliable, and open-source alternative to the MBTI test. The test takes between 5 and 7 minutes.
