BrainTypes.com. JCF - Neurological Standpoint. (Pseudo?)science behind MBTI. When Carl Jung wrote about the cognitive functions, he did not have the technological resources we have today to study parts of the brain, so he relied largely on anecdotal evidence from interactions with people. Now, neuroscience has evolved to the point where we can pinpoint certain aspects of the brain that are responsible for personality and behavior. This has allowed people like Jonathan Niednagel and Lenore Thomson to expand upon Jung's original theories and give an added dimension to personality typing. However, science hasn't proven everything, and a lot of the theories surrounding MBTI are still not evidence-based as of yet.I will point out that neither myself, Niednagel, nor Thomson are neuroscientists; it is the work of others that has led them to develop their theories.

INTP. Estimated Frequencies of Types. Myers Briggs Personality Faces. Personality Types: Development & Myers-Briggs MBTI theory The Faces of Personality Type Development By Ross Reinhold, INTJ This article is an introduction to a system for understanding the dynamics of personal growth and personality development, using the language and concepts developed by Carl Jung, Isabel Myers, Katharine Briggs and the personality system that has developed around the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI)*. The Faces model is based on the theory of eight mental functions, developed by John Beebe, Harold Grant and other Jungian theorists. Readers unfamiliar with this theory can obtain an introduction by reading the Ken Green article in the "Best of the Bulletin of Psychological Type" (Volume 1, Chapter 2). Two-Faces The idea of a duality in character or personality is not new in psychology, literature, nor our everyday relationships with people.
Yet this duality of our nature has been largely overshadowed by real or fictional cases involving abnormal extremes.
