Jung (Thursday, (02/16/2006, 7th Period)
"We've gone over the attitudes of introversion and extroversion, and you guys have said they seem kind of limiting. Which is absolutely right. That's why Jung came up with four functions that modify the attitudes. Those are thinking, feeling, sensing, and intuition.
A little more information on how introversion and extroversion work as regards the unconscious: Extroverted individuals are more concerned with their external world, other people, and other things. Introverts are more concerned with their own thoughts and ideas. Pretty much what you'd think. Generally, whichever one isn't dominant is unconscious, and so you're drawn to the non-dominant aspect in others as a way of expressing the unconscious side of your personality.
Now, the functions. Thinking and feeling are defined as rational functions, and they're directly in contrast with each other. I expect you'll find this stuff pretty easy to remember when we have a test, right? People using the thinking function? Use their intellectual functioning to connect ideas and to understand the world. Using the feeling function means you're making decisions based on your positive or negative feelings about subjective experiences.
The other two? Sensation and intuition. They're called the irrational functions, because they relate to stimuli, not evaluation and decision-making like the rational functions are. Sensing is physical, related to the five senses, and generally conscious. Intuition is usually about hunches and is unconscious. Everyone exhibits all four functions, but the most highly developed? Your superior function. Second most developed is the auxilliary function. Jung didn't have a term for the one that came in third, but the least well-developed function is the inferior function.
Often, your inferior function is explored through dream and creative work. Which is what we're going to be prepping to do. Ask your questions now--about today's subject or anything we've covered--because next week is all about using what we've talked about in class so far for dream analysis.
