Jung's Four-Point Compass Metaphor

Personality type isn't just about understanding differences between people—it's a development roadmap for individuation and shadow work. Episode 1 of this series explores Carl Jung's theory of Psychological Types, the eight cognitive functions, and how understanding your type supports genuine psychological transformation.

Jung identified four fundamental ways the mind operates: sensing and intuition (perceiving), thinking and feeling (judging). Each can be used in an introverted or extraverted orientation, giving us eight cognitive functions. Your particular combination of these functions forms your psychological type and reveals your specific pathway for development.

The Make it Conscious Method™ approaches type through the lens of shadow work and individuation, using character names for the eight functions to make them accessible and useful for active imagination work. This isn't about mere profiling and personal compatibility—it's about understanding how your mind works and what you need to integrate to become whole.
