Description

The Jung Typology Test is a psychometric tool based on the theories of Carl Jung and Isabel Briggs Myers and Katharine Cook Briggs. This test was designed to assess an individual’s personality and categorize them into one of the 16 personality types of the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI).

Purpose

The main purpose of the Jung Typology Test is to help individuals better understand themselves, their preferences, and how they interact with the world around them. The test is widely used in personal development, career counseling, and team development.

Analysis

The Jung Typology Test evaluates personality based on four dichotomous scales, each of which has two opposing preferences. These scales are:
Extraversion (E) vs. Introversion (I): Preferences for external vs. internal focus.
Sensing (S) vs. Intuition (N): Preferences for receiving information through the five senses or intuition.
Thinking (T) vs. Feeling (F): Preferences for decision-making based on logic and analysis or on values and emotions.
Judging (J) vs. Perceiving (P): Preferences for a structured and organized lifestyle or a flexible and adaptable one.
The analysis of responses determines an individual’s personality type based on the combination of these preferences (e.g., INFJ, ESTP).

Scoring

Scoring of the Jung Typology Test is carried out through the evaluation of participants’ responses to a series of statements or questions related to the four scales. The responses are scored, and the personality type results from the combination of the four preferences.
Preference Scores: Responses are totaled, and scores are calculated for each scale. The scale with the higher score indicates the individual’s preference in that dimension.
