Jungian Functions at a Glance

In this post we are going to flesh out the difference between the directional Jungian Functions (i.e. ‘Extroverted Sensing’ vs. ‘Introverted Sensing’). This knowledge is usually only found amongst highly-trained type-scholars and as such, this post is considered an Advanced Lesson. If you are only just getting into Jungian Type, consider starting off with something more basic.

Below you will find some defining words about each of the eight functions. If you are unfamiliar with how to calculate a type’s functions, be glad that we admins at celebritytypes.com are always looking out for your interests, which is why we have compiled a Cheat Sheet for you :-)
