Catherine Briggs, inspired by Carl Jung's insights, sought to translate complex psychological theories into accessible concepts, leading to the Myers-Briggs framework. Her strong enthusiasm for Jung's work motivated her to adapt and simplify his ideas for a wider audience, including the introduction of additional preference pairs like judging and perceiving, which were absent from Jung's original model. This illustrates how personal passion can drive the evolution of academic theories into popular formats, albeit sometimes at the expense of fidelity to the original work.
