I skimmed ch 10 but did not find it that jung suggested as you post.
Psychological Types, p 422.
When I found that quotation, I stopped. But I may have missed that anyway. So It'd be better, if all of us double checked the Psychological Types here.
Well, with all due respect, if you "did not find" the passage I quoted, you can't have looked very hard.
The part of Chapter 10 devoted to Ti consists of a grand total of 10 paragraphs, and the stuff I quoted is in the third — which starts with the words (in the Collected Works edition) "This kind of thinking easily gets lost..." (or in the edition you linked to, "This thinking easily loses itself...").
Your reply characterizes type changes as an "abnormal condition," and I didn't suggest that Jung thought otherwise. He didn't say changes of type were an ordinary thing, but he apparently thought they were possible — and again, in Chapter 1 he pointed to two historical figures (Origen and Tertullian) who he said had changed their types in very dramatic ways.
