Introduction
Jung, (1971), in his theory of psychological types, it is possible to characterize humans based on their preference or attitude in general, say, extroverted versus introverted; preferences for either of the two perception functions, that is, sensing (S) versus Intuition (I); or their preferences of one of the two judging functions, which are, thinking (T) versus Feeling (F).
The abovementioned three cohorts represent an impression of duopoly, or rather, bipolar dimensions with every pole representing a particular preference. Jung (1971) also proposed that of the four functions, that is, sensing, intuition, thinking and feeling, that one of them is predominant in a perception, such that the person is predisposed to perceive or think. It is from this predominance of one personality function that Isabel Myers, (2010) proposed a fourth dichotomy in Jung’s theory, that of Judging (J) versus Perceiving (P).
