Jungian Typology Continued - The Four Functions

January 17th 2008 11:50
To recap, Thinking is assessing an object quantitively and Feeling is its qualitative assessment. Both these functions use a reflective conscious process to make their assessments, which is why they are called the "rational" functions.

Sensation

Sensation is concerned with the object itself; how it looks, feels, smells, tastes, the sound it makes, its particular shape, colour, texture etc and how it fits with the other objects around it. All these things are immediate perceptions, and whilst they are not raw but mediated by processes which act beneath consciousness, they are apparent without the need for assessment or investigation. Thus sensation is considered an "irrational' function, in that its mechanisms act beneath awareness and the data they supply is apparent to consciousness without the need for further reflection.


Intuition

Intuition is essentially sensing via the unconscious. Tha data provided by intiution are also immediate within consciousness, as they apear fully formed as either objective or subjective possibilities , offering possible variants to the object or its situation. These products of Intuition appear within consciousness as images, ie, products of what we commonly term imagination. These images might be visual, aural or verbal in nature, sometimes even taking an ineffable form that can only be imaged "after the fact" by consciousness. Because of its mediation via the unconscious, possibly even in concert with biological factors, Intuition is also termed an irrational function.

Tomorrow we will start looking at the way the differing levels of adaptation of these four functions within individual consciousness effectively creates the sixteen personality types recognised by the MBTI.
