Psychological Types: Or, the Psychology of Individuation
Listen free to the public-domain LibriVox recording of Jung’s major work on introversion, extraversion, psychological functions, and individuation.
About This Recording
Psychological Types presents Jung’s influential account of introversion, extraversion, and differentiated psychological functions. The argument is broader and more demanding than modern personality-type summaries often suggest.
The recording offers access to a historically important text, but its categories should not be used as fixed labels or substitutes for clinical assessment. Jung’s descriptions concern patterns of orientation and function, not eight immutable boxes.
Listening Guide
Listen in sections and keep a glossary for attitude, function, differentiation, and inferior function. Compare the original discussion with the site’s psychological types and MBTI pages. Pay attention to passages that complicate popular online type descriptions.

Psychological Types
Jung’s psychological types combine two attitudes—introversion and extraversion—with four functions: thinking, feeling, sensation, and intuition.
Individuation
Individuation is Jung’s term for the lifelong process of becoming a more differentiated and integrated psychological whole.
Introversion
Introversion is a Jungian attitude in which conscious energy and motivation give greater priority to the subject’s inner impressions, ideas, and standpoint.
Extraversion
Extraversion is a Jungian attitude in which conscious energy and motivation give greater priority to external people, events, objects, and shared conditions.
