About

Hello everyone, my name is Jacob and thank you so much for watching my YouTube channel. On Fireside Personality Chats, I try to bring the theory of Jungian typology more down to earth through portraits and stories, thereby making typology more relevant and applicable to the everyday person.

Holistic versus Analytical Approaches to Jungian Typology

There are two approaches to MBTI: the analytical approach and the holistic approach. The analytical approach revolves around a cognitive functions framework, while the holistic approach is more whole-person based. Both approaches have their benefits, and neither is in all cases superior than the other.

The Self-Concept: Another Way to Approach Personality Typology

We should approach personality tests, and personality typology more broadly, as a means of determining the self-concept, and not as objective psychometrics. In this manner, typology can be used to recognize and then eliminate self-imposed road blocks to self-growth.
