Jung's personality Theory

The psychiatrist Carl Gustav Jung was born and lived I Switzerland. His research was centered around the psychoanalyses of humans and is today very often used to coordinate and make teams in work situations.

Jung’s work is built around different personality types and analysis of dreams. During his professional life, he was very influenced by Freud and much of Jung’s work is developed on Freuds thoughts of the human mind.

In the following it will be explained how Jung saw the mind and especially how it can be used I management when different teams and workgroups are put together. Today one of the best-known personality test’ is the MBTI test which is built primarily on Jung’s personality theory. Jung meant that people was defined by their characteristics within the following three groups:

• Extraversion – introversion

• Sensing – intuition

• Thinking - feeling

If a team is put together to compliment the above areas there will, according to Jung, be an optimal team dynamic.
