Some Readings

Well, the obvious reading is Volume 6 of Jung's Collected Works

This is hard going though, so start with the appendix - Four Papers on Type: this is much more clearly written than the rest.

The following books are also recommended.   They are not the most recent, but they are among the best.

Bayne, R.,  1995.   The Myers-Briggs Type Indicator.  Chapman & Hall.

                The Myers-Briggs Type Indicator is the most-used measure of personality types.   There is a

                 vast literature available on this test.    But the test in this website is recommended for the

                 reasons stated there.

Spoto, A.   1995.   Jung's Typology in Perspective.   (Chiron).   Has a foreword by Robert Johnson.

von Franz, M.L. and Hillman, J.  1971.   Lectures on Jung's Typology.   Spring (Dallas).

 

The Australian Association for Psychological Type is (if it is still going) dedicated to the understanding of Jung's type theory.    Should be easy to find on the web.
