Use of Jung's Theory of Types in Studying Personality Traits of Professionals

Abstract

There has been a considerable number of attempts, for one reason or another, to classify working people according to the concept of psychological types. In our psychology, the typological approach is inseparably linked to the names I.P. Pavlov (1982), B.M. Teplov (1985), V.D. Nebylitsyn (1982), K.M. Gurevich (1974), and others. Foreign investigators who have worked on determining types include Kretchmer (1982), Sheldon (1982), Eysenck (1972), Roberts & Tilman (1988), and others.
