As someone who's taught Jung's Psychological Types theory I ought to know what i'm on about and Amzolt is presenting a very creative interpretation here. As far as I'm aware it has no support from either the text in question or subsequent interpretations by the ''Post Jungians''. The few Psychologi...

Fair enough, Instead of repeating myself twice, let me rephrase the statement. Your inferences from Carl Jung's vast body of eclectic work may be right on some level, however, because Jung drew from so many eclectic resources you could also be wrong on many other levels. I have one question for you ... Forum: Philosophy & Science Topic: Temperament & Psychological Types [Revisited]... Replies: 39 Views: 24011 Mon Apr 27, 2009 7:31 pm Jump to post
It seems to make sense on paper, but perhaps Jung defined his Types outside the boundaries of 'just astrology', and had more of a shamanic 'ideal' in mind when it came aligning polarities.

The Air element, which is conventionally aligned with Thinking, is displaying this quality as a 'compensatory effect' spurned on by Sensation.

compensation What I'm getting is: The observed 'effect' is a 'compensatory process' springing from the primordial cause.
