Introduction To Personality Type

The Big 5 Personality Model

The Big 5 Personality Model defines a set of five key personality traits: openness, conscientiousness, extraversion, agreeableness, and neuroticism. It was developed by researchers who studied known personality traits and then performed factor analysis of hundreds of measures of these traits to find underlying factors of personality.

The 16 Types - A Cognitive Function Analysis

This section includes a description of each of the 16 types. The MBTI system measures preferences at a set of facets under those, specifically related to extraversion/introversion, intuition/sensing, thinking/feeling, and judging/perceiving. These descriptions focus more specifically on the underlying Jungian function descriptions including how the dominant, auxiliary, tertiary and inferior function manifests in those types.

The Jungian Cognitive Functions

First described in Jung's Personality Types, the Jungian Cognitive Functions (JCF) can be described as different lenses through which we tend to perceive and judge. Each cognitive function combines a perceiving or judging function with an attitude (introversion or extraversion), yielding eight cognitive functions.

There are different models for determining what cognitive functions an individual of a given prefers, often referred to as Type Dynamics. Most models specify a primary function (strongest and most conscious), an auxiliary function (less strong and conscious), an auxiliary functions (less strong still) and an inferior function (less strong still) for each type.
