Extract

It is many years now since Jung first drew attention to what he believed to be of far-reaching significance in the psychological understanding of human personality: the presence of two great psychological divisions of mankind, the outwardly directed or “extraverts”, whose interests and activities turn mainly towards the outer world and whose lives correspond directly with objective conditions, and the inwardly directed or “introverts”, who are influenced more by subjective factors, and whose attitude to the outer world is an abstracting and depreciatory one.
