There Are Four Types of Introverts

fyp-psychology

Carl Jung classified four cognitive introverted functions: social introversion, thinking introversion, anxious introversion and restrained introversion. 

Find out below under which class you fall in and how it affects your mind.

Note, we must be aware that social orientation is not an issue when it comes to social anxiety disorder. Social anxiety does not make a person exclusively an introvert; even extroverts suffer from social anxiety disorder.

Researchers have carelessly assorted all other introversion forms into the social, thinking and restrained classes without considering that they are not mutually exclusive to three “types”.  The problem is, true introverts would do the same.

The Jungian definition of introversion classifies the different types of introversion into four mutually exclusive categories which we will dissect further below.

01) Introverted Sensors

Reality for sensing introverts is a mechanical process of breaking down observations, experiences, then meticulously sifting and sorting through them to find relevancy. Their detail-oriented mind constantly picks up patterns in behaviour and stores them for future perusal and use. Rules and tradition are the dictums for introverted sensors and they are keen to keep things in order- homes, selves and environment.

Left to their own devices, introverted sensors keep themselves busy to making plans for the future, tidying up their lives and contemplating the past.

02) Introverted Feelers

Introverted feelers are the tortured souls who take on the life and its ever-changing meaning on a personal and deep level. The slightest social injustice or wronged victim set them off. They can be termed as highly sensitive and judge the world based on personal moral code created from past experience. They disseminate and absorb life around them in a subjective manner and are extremely creative at heart. They often lose themselves into the arts.

Alone to surf their thoughts, introverted feelers let loose their wildest imaginations and make ideals to aspire to in the future. They use that time in isolation to merge meaning and moral together by a deeper understanding of an experience.

03) Introverted Thinkers

Logic reigns in the reality of an introverted thinker. They dismiss the deeper meaning of truths and devour knowledge and facts. Their ultimate quest is to determination true information and false information. Being the true researchers and scientists in the world, they maintaining as much accuracy as possible while assimilating objective truths.

In seclusion, they are building a framework of the mechanisms of the world in a rational and objective manner. They are sifting through a large database of information, grasping and cataloging new information in their midst, while researching tirelessly.

04) Introverted Intuitives

Intuitive Introverts see the world as a myriad of puzzles to be solved. They take great enthusiasm in solving complex problems

In their free time, intuitive introverts seek to lay down the foundations of their future and planning ahead. They research to discover new ideas to place into their pre-existing worldviews by meditating and coming up with an abstract solution. They predict, plan and ponder the wonders of the world with their intuitive perception.

Note: One of Jung’s guiding principle was that each being embodied both introverted and extroverted traits. Therefore,  an intuitive introvert maybe an extroverted feeler and vice versa. Furthermore, it was Jung’s belief that each of us possess two extroverted cognitive functions and two introverted cognitive functions. It must be kept in mind that all these functions of the extrovert and introvert are mutually exclusive.

For what it’s worth: it’s never too late or, in my case, too early to be whoever you want to be. There’s no time limit, stop whenever you want. You can change or stay the same, there are no rules to this thing. We can make the best or the worst of it. I hope you make the best of it. And I hope you see things that startle you. I hope you feel things you never felt before. I hope you meet people with a different point of view. I hope you live a life you’re proud of. If you find tha lolt you’re not, I hope you have the strength to start all over again.

The universe is not a thing that is—it is not a *thing* at all. It is the very action of its going. It is, in fact, its own dissolve, and our lives – the entire span of human existence going back and back and, if we are lucky, forward and forward – the entire span is spent within this dissolve.

So look at the fleeting stars with fleeting eyes, and feel how the earth beneath you gives. It is all a temporary manifestation of particles, and it is all unraveling back to particulate silence. The bustle of the human day will come and will go. And then, there will be night.

But how beautiful these moments within the dissolve! What a temporary perfection we can find within this passing world! Everything good ever done! Everything good that was done today, and all the good people doing it, and back and back and forward and forward, all of that beauty within a universe unraveling.

Be proud of your place in the cosmos. It is small, and yet it *is*.

sometimes you say or do bad things while you’re in an awful mental place. sometimes you say things that are rude or uncalled for or manipulative. and i’m not going to hold that against you. mental illness is hard, and no one is perfect. but once you’re through that episode, you need to take steps to make amends. you need to apologize.

“i couldn’t help it, i was having a bad episode” is a justification, not an apology.

“i’m so fucking sorry, i fucked up, i don’t deserve to live, i should stop talking to anyone ever, i should die” is a second breakdown and a guilt trip. it is not an apology.

when you apologize, the focus should be on the person you hurt. “i’m sorry. i did something that was hurtful to you. even if i was having a rough time, you didn’t deserve to hear that,” is a better apology. if it was a small thing, you can leave it at that.

if you caused significant distress to the other person, this is a good time to talk about how you can minimize damage in the future. and again, even if it is tempting to say you should self-isolate and/or die, that is not a helpful suggestion. it will result in the person you’re talking to trying to talk you out of doing that, which makes your guilt the focus of the conversation instead of their hurt.

you deserve friendship, and you deserve support. but a supportive friend is not an emotional punching bag, and mental illness does not absolve you of responsibility for your actions. what you say during a mental breakdown doesn’t define you. how you deal with the aftermath though, says a lot.

This is the most carefully-nuanced discussion of this I think I have ever seen. Thank you for writing this.
