Essay On Jungian Typology

Improved Essays
I have learned so much through my self assessments and from reading the material the first week of this course. It has helped be a guide for me to think about how I am going to develop and build skills to add to my personal and professional tool box. Some of the things I have learned are as follows.
My Jungian typology results showed that I am INFJ- Introvert (12%) iNtuitive (19%) Feeling (47%) and Judging (31%). INFJ Types are distinguished by our complexity of character and unusual range and depth of talents. I am a planner, a doer, and a dreamer. The combination of vision and practicality often results in INFJs taking a disproportionate amount of responsibility in various causes. This is the story of my life. I currently work three (3) jobs, attend school, and manage a household. INFJs will suddenly

This apparent self-contradiction is a necessary escape valve for INFJs, providing both time to rebuild depleted resources and a filter to prevent the emotional overload to which we are so susceptible to us as inherent "givers." I found this statement so very true and dead on for me. I have trouble taking care of myself. Finding a balance is something I hope to achieve some day. The Fs present empathy and can serve as a classic example of how we can have emotional overload. feelings of empathy can be strong enough to cause discomfort or pain in negative or stressful situations. I think empathy is one of my greatest gifts even though at times those feelings evoke a negative response within myself. Through my learning style assessment I I learned that my primary learning style is visual at 45%. I need to draw pictures, summarize main points through charts, and take careful notes. I always say hand to brain. Second was auditory at 35%. Knowing this now has really helped me not only in learning with academics, but learning at a new job. My score for my productivity assessment was lower than I

    Psychologist Carl Gustav Jung defined several archetypes that are based in the observations of different but repeating patterns of thought and action that re-appear time and again across people, countries and continents. “Archetypes are ancient or archaic images that derive from the collective unconscious. They are similar to complexes in that they are emotionally toned collections of associated images. But whereas complexes are individualized components of the personal unconscious, archetypes are generalized and derive from the contents of the collective unconscious” (Feist, Feist, & Roberts, 2013, p.109). These are basically defined as a way of organizing human experiences that gives collective meaning.…

    In almost every story since the beginning of human history, storytellers used certain tried and true characterization methods essential to any story: archetypes. Carl Jung first identified these universal archetypes and tropes prevalent in almost every story since The Odyssey. Jung believed that these archetypes existed in the psyches of human beings, which explains why people recognize archetypes so easily when hearing/reading a work of literature. However, as time went on, people noticed these archetypes and fictional works started to look indistinguishably similar. Evident through the archetypal storyline of the “Hero’s Journey”, Joseph Campbell deems that usually all ends well for the primary protagonist.…

    Zarah, Thank you for sharing your impressions and experiences from this class. You are very detailed in recapping what we covered how it benefited you and why it did. I had some personal rough spots in some of what we covered in the class as well. Just like you did with ethical morality.

    The four skill builder concepts that I feel pertained to my experiences this quarter were other-centered messages, initiating conversation, clarifying supportive intentions, and describing feelings. Starting with other-centered messages I feel that I used this skill throughout this quarter. A particular example that comes to mind with my utilizing of this skill is just recently when I had a conversation with my sister, Danielle. My sister Danielle is currently taking a break from classes from BC as the last semester she spent there was very stressful for her, in which she became unsure of what she really wanted to do as well as if the current academic set up is efficient for her. We were in my car when she started discussing with me how she…

    Coming to Carleton in September I thought I had a decent grasp on general business know how and how business worked, but after taking this course I have learned how little I knew, and how much there was for me to learn. So far in the course I would say I have learned a ridiculous amount, from business language to the skills you need to have a successful interview. In this memo, I will be covering a number of lessons I have learned, and these fall into three categories. The first being what I learned from the course, mostly what I learned in lectures and doing Learnsmart questions. These lessons have been predominantly the knowledge I have acquired through the professor and the textbook.…

    Jung believed that a human being is deeply whole but most of us humans have lost touch with some of the most important parts of our selves. Through waking imagination and listening to the messages of our dreams, we can link and reintegrate our different parts. Life’s goal is individuation, the process of coming to know, giving expression to, and balancing the different components of the psyche. If we understand our uniqueness, we can forgo a process of individuation and start to understand our true self. Each individual human being has a specific calling and nature that is uniquely his or her own, and unless these are fulfilled through a combination of conscious and unconscious, the individual may become sick.…

    According to Carl Jung, the archetype anima and animus states that human are essentially bisexual. He also believes that these archetypes must be expressed in every human, and if it is not expressed, the person will experience one side of personality. This belief stirred my thinking. If Jung was right, would all humans have the tendency to be attracted to both man and woman? Would it mean that same sex marriages would be more common?…
