Freud's Legacy of Enmity Towards Typology
The idea that people do not have clearly defined personality types -- and the fear of being labeled or "boxed into" a rigid typological system -- stems from Freud. According to Freud and Jung: Years of Friendship, Years of Loss, Freud sought to undermine Jung, who he saw as a threat to his prominence, by spreading a prejudice against Jung's typology. This has lead to what we have today in a cultural prejudice against typology in the west.
