Hello everyone, and welcome to this supplementary website/blog dedicated to Jungian Typology. Here you will find a number of miscellaneous projects related to my YouTube channel, including a number of scripts to my videos not already featured on CelebrityTypes.com, a 'transcription' of Jung's Psychological Types in an attempt to make it more readable, and (*gasp*) my personal opinions on the types of fictional characters, because I just couldn't help myself.
I should make a few things clear, however: my priority is the YouTube channel, meaning I can't promise I will respond to any queries concerning the blog as promptly as I answer questions on the channel. I also do not have a set update schedule for this blog: it will unfortunately be a bit free form and erratic as I get adjusted to it. Also, this is not really going to be a "blog", but more like a website, with updates for the various pages.
Two more important points:
1) The "readable Psychological Types" is meant as a spring board to better understanding the original text by Jung. Reading my 'transcription' means you are, though objective I have striven to be, actually reading "Psychological Types", written by both Carl Jung and Michael Pierce. In order to help the text make more sense, I have literally added in sentences and taken some away that I felt were necessary or unnecessary. For those of you who are familiar with the original text, this will possibly send you into convulsions; that's why if you really want to study Jung, only use this as a way to help you possibly break some road blocks on your path to navigating some of the most unnecessarily convoluted language ever translated into English (sorry, just my unprofessional opinion).
2) Let's say that I'm examining the personality
type of BBC's Sherlock Holmes for my fictional typings. The character I am assigning a type here is a
portrayal performed by Benedict Cumberbatch, of a character created by Sir
Arthur Conan Doyle, reimagined by Steven Moffatt and Mark Gatiss and the rest
of their writing staff, which means, of course, that the character seen on
television is the result of many probably conflicting personalities trying to
portray one person. While I find patterns in the BBC Sherlock's behavior that resemble my own understanding of personality types, the personality I am examining here is much
more difficult to pin down with certainty. However, I am not doing this to once
and for all settle any characters' types. I am
doing it because I think it provides a more entertaining way to show people
Jungian Typology in general.
So that should be it. Enjoy, and thank you for the support!
