Jung’s Personality Theory

• Every person carries out two kinds of mental processes:

1. We take in information

2. Then we make decisions about the information

• Everyone has preferred ways of using these mental processes

Jung observed that we all live in two worlds:

1.The outer world of things, people, and events

and

2.The inner world of our own thoughts, feelings, and reflections

Jung’s Personality Theory

• Each person has a preference for either the outer world or the inner world

Jung’s Personality Theory

• Jung believed that preferences are innate—“inborn predispositions”

• He also recognized that they are shaped by environmental influences, such as family, culture, and education
