Four Preferences of Jung • Extraversion and Introversion • Sensing and Intuition • Thinking and Feeling • Judging and Perceiving
Extraversion and Introversion • We are extraverting when we: • Talk to other people • Listen to what someone is saying • Cook dinner, or make a cup of coffee • Work on a car • We are introverting when we: • Read a book • Think about what we want to say or do • Are aware of how we feel • Think through a problem so that we understand it
Sensing and Intuition • We are “Sensing” when we: • Taste food • Notice a stoplight has changed • Memorize a speech • Follow steps in a plan • We are “Intuitive” when we: • Come up with a new way of doing things • Think about future implications for a current action • Perceive underlying meaning in what people say or do • See the big picture
Thinking and Feeling • Thinking Mode • Research a product, buy the best one • Do “The Right Thing”, whether we like it or not • Choose not to buy blue shirt, we already have 2 • Establish guidelines to follow for performing tasks • Feeling Mode • Buy something because we like it • Refrain from telling someone something, in case of upset • Decide not to take job, don’t like work environment • Decided to move to be close to someone we care about
Judging and Perceiving • We are using Judging when we: • Make a list of things to do • Schedule things in advance • Form and express judgments • Bring closure to an issue so that we can move on • We are using Perceiving when we: • Postpone decisions to see what other options are available • Act spontaneously • Decide what to do as we do it, rather than forming a plan ahead of time • Do things at the last minute
Understand What’s Important To You
Recognize Weaknesses • Determine appropriate preference in situations (i.e., Feeling & Thinking) • Recognizing others’ behaviors as a preference rather than an annoyance or flaw
