Carl Jung - Archtypes and Personality Type

Jung uses the idea of the collective unconsciousness to explain similarities in human cultural symbols such as the the madonna (mother figure , the goddess, and hero).  These ideas and myths are found in most cultures and share similarities.  

Jung downplayed the importance Freud put on sexuality, and instead suggested a more spiritual motivator.  He suggested symbols in dreams were part of a bigger longing and yearning to learn about one self.

Jung began to type personalities.  He called this typology.   

Later his work with personality types led to the development of the Meyer Briggs personality test. We will study this in more detail in the personality test book.
