Type differences in aging

[lavos]

Merry types usually will appear more youthful while they are young, but at the time of senescense, they will suddenly experience a drop in youth and vitality.

Serious types, on the other hand, will appear older or more time-worn up until they start to become elderly, at which point they will sort of stabilize and age much slower than merry types.


This is of course if unhampered by other factors.

With aging a brain works worse. The have Jung type means to concentrate on one and to suppress the opposite info processes.
Brain's degradation may reduce Jung type, as to have more expressed type should take more of resources.

Also with aging often are easier social conditions. In more relaxed situation of lesser requirements a human may feel lesser need to use more assured strong functions, what allows for weaker functions to be lesser suppressed and hence more expressed.

So after some age weaker functions may become more expressed, while stronger ones lesser. This would be lesser accentuation of Jung's type.

P.S.
Reinin traits are baseless.

I agree completely with this point of view, except the point of about Reinin (The names are baseless, but they exist).

I've changed a lot with age. I'm not as emotional as I used to be. I'm a lot more logical. And yet, my Imagination looks upon the stories of love.
