The Next Level in the Evolution of Jung’s

Typology & the MBTI®

The Next Evolution of Jung’s Theory

• Jung’s Theory of Psychological Type, made useable by the MBTI®, has stood the test of time

• Jung defined eight different functional patterns of behavior or “types”

– MBTI uses four dichotomous scales, rather than the 2 identified by Jung

• Jung’s Theory incorporated the notion of development and individuation

– MBTI is solely a psychometric instrument

The Next Evolution of Jung’s Theory

• The Striving Styles Personality System goes further with Carl Jung’s Theory by including:

– psychological needs that must be met

– the role of emotions in driving behavior

– how the brain develops through functional integration and rewiring of neural pathways

– a complete system for development

• By incorporating the SSPS’s neuro-psychological approach, practitioners can leverage their understanding of type based

on MBTI or other Jungian-based personality assessments

The Next Evolution of Jung’s Theory

• Including both an assessment and framework for development, the SSPS is a complete system for achieving potential which shows:

– how the brain is organized,

– how needs and emotions influence behavior,

– how to break free of behaviors that limit development and growth,

– how to access and use all natural abilities and inclinations,

– how to strengthen the authentic self through literally remapping the brain and satisfying the predominant need

The Next Evolution of Jung’s Theory

• Four mental functions: Thinking, Feeling, Intuition & Sensing

– Located in four distinct areas in the brain: quadrants

– Each plays distinct role in our personality

– Each is necessary to achieve our potential

Thinking

Sensing

Intuition

Feeling

• 4 quadrants in the brain

– each performs a different function

– each has specific talents & abilities

• Born hard-wired to use or favor one over the other three

The Next Evolution of Jung’s Theory

• Development system that incorporates neuro scientific advances and integrates learnings from the MBTI, Hermann Thinking Styles and Emotional Intelligence – to name a few

• SSPS sees behavioral preferences as a part of the whole human experience - needs, fears, emotions, conditioning

• SSPS focuses on development of the self – that which builds self-awareness and learns emotional self-management

• Breaks the taboo of speaking about people’s defensive strategies (self-protective behavior) and emotional reactions as more than a “stress style”

• Teaches people to use emotions, not avoid them

Leveraging Your MBTI Knowledge

Leveraging Your MBTI Knowledge

Leveraging Your Knowledge

2. Relate Jung’s 4 functions to the 4 quadrants of the brain

• Upper left rationale – Thinking

• Upper right rationale – Intuition

• Lower right emotional/limbic – Feeling

• Lower left emotional/limbic – Sensing

3. Shift to talking about the introverting or extroverting of the function (attitude)
