Personality Profile Paper According to mbtitoday.org (2015), Carl Jung identified eight patterns for how individuals carry out mental activities, which are referred to as function-attitudes. The four functions are sensing, intuition, thinking and feeling. The two attitudes are extraversion and introversion. These, along with perceiving/judging, combine to form the eight function-attitudes which are the basis for sixteen personality types listed at humanmetrics.com (2015).
