General question: Would an ILI put so much effort into promoting personal creativity as a way to connect with your inner self/unconscious?
ILI
according to wikisocion:
"ILIs naturally possess a strong command of logical systems such as formal logic and mathematics.
However, they tend to be very skeptical of extensively systematic explanations of real-world phenomena. While they readily acknowledge the usefulness of many proven systematic, mathematical, and symmetrical systems in science, they tend to be disdainful of theoretical and practical models that describe an absolute reality or that do not have some empirical basis. The ILI vision of reality, scientific, philosophical, or otherwise, is that of
one self-contained universe of too many processes and mysteries to count."
Jung is famous for his 'larger than the self' theories - like the collective unconscious as an extension of the personal unconscious.
Isn't that the main criticism of Jung in academic circles, that he is too 'mystical' [draws too far going conclusions from personal experiences] rather than 'scientifc' [completely based on empirical evidence]?
Wikisocion has an interesting take on the ILI role in life:
The mystic or spiritual philosopher who is into all things mystical, esoteric, or eastern and makes little sense to the material-minded.
Ok, after having rambled (sorry T types) my way here I think Jung is ILI. (I realized I had problems typing Jung as ILI because of a schewed image of what ILI's can be)
