This is an excerpt from the post Jungian Personality Types
Type yourself
Nature vs. Nurture
When typing yourself, try to differentiate between your natural preferences (nature i.e. personality) and learned behaviors from your environment (nurture).
Nature refers to your innate mental processes and preferences. Nurture covers behaviors you’ve adopted - due to family upbringing, expectations or requirements; cultural expectations, or societal pressures.
This is especially important for women, as social conditioning often encourages certain cognitive functions (eg. being very caring etc.)
Focus on how you naturally act and process information, not just how you’ve been taught to behave. Be honest with yourself.
- I recommend watching this for context Why MBTI Is Bad and We Don’t Use It - YouTube (Optionally, I also highly recommend this 20min vid for understand test results better)
- Type your self via the Type Grid. (I would stop at the “Your Armaments”, but you can go further if you’d like)
- Do a personality test. (Instead of one personality, you will see probabilities of personality results)
Because tests are inaccurate, the right way to go about this is to look into each likely personality description, from the type grid and test results, and see which one is the most accurate.
For short descriptions, I recommend looking up “udja (your type)” or, for videos, “EgoHackers (your type)” on youtube.
Although knowing what “Cognitive Functions” are, can be helpful. (See the first 6 min)
If you want to learn more about the type grid, have fun watching this 45 minute video.
For more content I recommend looking into Carl Jung, Jungian Psychology, Depth Psychology and C.S. Joseph - YouTube.
