Psychological Types

A prime example would be one’s communication with one another. If someone knew his personality type, he or she will know how to respond or act with someone and understand what someone may be seeing in them when they act. A test to find out one’s personality is called the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator. The purpose of this test according to Myers & Briggs Foundation is to make a model of psychological types using the Jung concept and how it is used in life. The five categories in which personality is

The Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) is based on the Jung’s theory of psychological types. This is a self-report questionnaire that gives insight into how people interpret the world around them. This can be significantly important, as it can help someone better understand themselves, as well as their relationships, education, career, and role in the workplace. The MBTI was developed by Katharine Cook Briggs together along with her daughter Isabel Briggs Myers. Where published/ Availability Katharine

Myers-Briggs Type Inventory, better known as the MBTI, is based off C. G. Jung or Carl Jung’s theory of eight psychological types. These “eight types” explained by Jung, fall under one of the four functions; sensing, intuition, thinking, or feeling and are combined with one of two attitudes; extraversion and introversion (“Carl Jung” n.d.). The MBTI has 16 personality types that make Carl Jung’s psychological type understandable and practical. After completing the MBTI, you are given a four-letter type in

The two attitudes and the four functions form eight psychological types, which have been studied by a number of researchers since Jung. 10. Psychic energy, or life energy, powers activities such as attending, thinking, willing, and striving. 11. Psychic energy follows the principles of equivalence and entropy:

My major is Human Factors which is the incorporation of psychological ideas into a design. In order to design systems that are functional for all different types of people, one must first understand the basics of psychological disorders. I have decided to look deeper in psychopathy. Psychopathy testing has accepted the use of a moral questionnaire, but for a group of people known for being deceiving, that may not be efficient. The goal of this research is to develop an activity that identifies psychopaths

I've always been one of those “silently judging you types”. You know, the ones that make you feel a little uncomfortable and vulnerable because it feels like they can see inside your soul. I try to stop myself, truly I do... but I just can’t. My urge to know what people are thinking and feeling is almost primal. I NEED to understand why they think and behave the way that they do. However perhaps judgement isn’t the correct way to describe it. It's more of an act of observation, an invasive one at

Psychological Causes of Depression The actual causes of depression are still unknown today but there are a few theories that could help explain them. It is widely believed by psychologists and scientists that all mental disorders are brought about by a complex correlation of psychological, biological, and social factors.

Depression can be caused by a combination of genetic, biological, environmental and psychological factors but can also occur in people without any family history (NIMH, 2016). Many people with depression do not seek help either because they are depressed or they do not want to be categorized as having depression. Treatment options range from

Depression is defined as, “a mood disorder marked especially by sadness, inactivity, difficulty with thinking and concentration, a significant increase or decrease in appetite and time spent sleeping, feelings of dejection and hopelessness, and sometimes suicidal thoughts or an attempt to commit suicide” (Merriam Webster). A close friend of mine battles depression and would describe it is, “a debilitating mood that makes it hard to get out of the bed in the morning, a desire to sleep all the time
