The Most Preposterous Notion in Socionics

[jason_m]

I've no doubt that some people think this way, but it really flies in the face of typology's Jungian roots. Not being aware of personal preferences doesn't mean they're non-existent; it means you have no conscious control over them.

Jung writes:



There's a lot more in Psychological Types, but you get the drift.

I find what he writes to be somewhat mystical and superstitious. The notion that one becomes altruistic when they are a thinking type, and this is always compensated for by some repressed 'dark feelings' smacks of Freudian psychology (which I suppose is similar to Jungian psychology), but I'm not sure I agree...
