Myers-Briggs Typology vs. Jungian Individuation: Overcoming One-Sidedness in Self and Society

Myers demonstrates how overlooked aspects of Jung's developmental theory can be greater applied by users of Myers-Briggs typology. This book provides an understanding of the main differences between Myers-Briggs typology and Jungian individuation, and describes eight principles to reconcile and overcome those differences. It also describes practical ways in which the principles can be used in personal, professional, group and cultural contexts. The book concludes with a look at common criticisms of the MBTI instrument, the main defences against them, and practical suggestions for incorporating Jungian individuation into coaching and workshops.
