    Do you carefully read the preface and background of the Red Book? I got the Red Book now and it's pretty clear that he is not Ni-leading.

    He began a self-experiment that became known as his “confrontation with the unconscious” and lasted until 1930.
    This is the background of this book. He was actually trying to analyze his unconscious. He deliberately wiped out his mental information trying to record the unconscious ones and then analyze them.

    Personality NO. 1 wanted to be free of the melancholy and isolation of personality NO. 2. When personality NO. 2 entered, it felt as if a long dead yet perpetually present spirit had entered the room.
    This is introduced by the editor as the background. Notice that Jung thinks he has a No2 personality, this personality seems dead but also seems perputually spirit. It's actually most related to the demonstrative or background function. For LII, they exactly has 4D Ni in their shadow.

    The fog dream of Jung support this:
    NO. 1 was himself bearing the light, and NO. 2 followed like a shadow. He took this as a sign that he should go forward with NO. 1, and not look back to the world of NO. 2.
    It implied that his so-called No2 personality is a subdued vital function.

    Nietzsche’s Thus Spoke Zarathustra made a great impression on him. He felt that his own personality NO. 2 corresponded to Zarathustra, and he feared that his personality NO. 2 was similarly morbid.
    He connected his No2 personality (demonstrative) with Nietzsche. Isn't it pretty clear that he typed himself as Ni-demonstrative?

    He deveopped techniques to record unconscious. He analyzed them. You cannot say that since he analyze it he has Ni in his ego.

    Of course he explored his vital functions deeply. He was just exploring his superid and id blocks. He tries a lot to analyze his No2 (demonstrative) and Anima (suggestive). But his ego analysis is in a Ti manner. He is quite clear about this.


    -------Started a seperate thread to discuss Jung's descriptions of the Demonstrative: https://www.the16types.info/vbulleti...-Demonstrative
    Acutally the preface and background of the Red Book supports his self typing as a LII.
