Classification does not explain the
individual psyche. Nevertheless, an understanding of
psychological types opens the way to a better
understanding of human psychology in general.

Preface

This book is not a critique or a defense of the model of psy-
chological types elaborated by C.G. Jung, but rather an expla-
nation. The intention here is not to simplify his model, but to
illustrate its complexity and some of its practical implications.
Jung's model of typology is not a system of character
analysis, nor is it a way of labeling oneself or others. Much as
one might use a compass to determine where one is in the
physical world, Jung's typology is a tool for psychological
orientation. It is a way of understanding both oneself and the
interpersonal difficulties that arise between people.
Other books have been written based on Jung's system of
psychological types. If there is anything distinctive about this
one, it is its close adherence to Jung's expressed views.
