Carl Jung

If you haven’t heard of Jung Personality test, or have and don’t know your type, take 20 minutes out of your day to complete the test. I completed the test and was amazed how accurate the outcome was. I found it also helpful doing it alongside someone who knows you really well to help you determine your answers, sometimes we aren’t the best judges of ourselves.

A little bit about the test: The Jung personality test created by Carl Jung, a Swiss psychiatrist was the founder of analytical psychology. He believed that the human psyche is “by nature religious” and explored it in depth. He was also well known for dream analysis. Jung's work on himself and his patients convinced him that life has a spiritual purpose beyond just material goals. Our main task, he believed, is to discover and to fulfill our deep innate potential, much as the acorn contains the potential to become the oak, or the caterpillar to become the butterfly. Based on his study of Christianity, Hinduism, Buddhism, Gnosticism, Taoism, and other religious traditions, Jung perceived that this journey of transformation, which he called individuation, is at the mystical heart of all religions. It is a journey to meet the self and at the same time to meet the Divine. Unlike Sigmund Freud, Jung thought spiritual experience was essential to our well-being and also our work environment.

When breaking down the test there are four temperament categories: Guardians, Artisans, Idealists and Rationalists. Then there are four sub categories for each key temperament. This will determine your personality on several different levels. You can complete the test by clicking on this link.
