Type

1. Etymology

Type names a characteristic general attitude or function—the habitual orientation of libido as introversion/extraversion and as thinking, feeling, sensation, or intuition (rational vs irrational classes). Related: typology; attitude; primary-function; falsification of type.

2. Plain summary

Examples (exhaustive house list for this Index lemma — common type motifs named across Jung’s essays and standard Jungian lexica; not a claim that Jung’s CW contains only these):
characteristic attitude or function; rational vs irrational function-types; introversion / extraversion; falsification of type → neurosis; recovery of natural attitude; dual typology; psychological-types hub.

3. Academic elucidation

In analytical psychology type is the unit of habitual orientation within Jung’s typological model. Lexicon Sharp supplies the short head; Samuels exposition lives under typology. Prefer dual typology TYP-1–3; Sharp-cited CW 6 ¶835 / ¶560 for sample—do not mint unverified stamps.

4. Lexicon

Sharp (1991)

Type. A characteristic general attitude or function. [The] function-types… may be divided… into the rational and the irrational… A further division… introversion and extraversion… As a rule, whenever such a falsification of type takes place… the individual becomes neurotic later…

(Sharp, 1991) — cites CW 6 ¶835 / ¶560 in Sharp’s lemma.

typology … (full quotes live on typology)

(Samuels, Shorter, & Plaut, 1986, pp. 153–155) — dual via typology leaf.

5. CW concordance — sample, not exhaustive

TYPE. A type is a specimen or example which reproduces in a characteristic way the character of a species or class. In the narrower sense used in this particular work, a type is a characteristic specimen of a general attitude occurring in many individual forms… When any of these attitudes is habitual, thus setting a definite stamp on the character of an individual, I speak of a psychological type. These function-types… may be divided into two classes… into the rational and the irrational.
(Jung, 1921/1971, CW 6, p. 664, ¶835) Dual typology / attitude untouched.

The fact that children often exhibit a typical attitude quite unmistakably even in their earliest years forces us to assume that it cannot be the struggle for existence in the ordinary sense that determines a particular attitude… two children of the same mother may exhibit contrary attitudes at an early age…
(Jung, 1921/1971, CW 6, p. 469, ¶560) Dual attitude untouched.

Dual via typology (TYP-1–3 already stamped; no rewrite): 1936/1971.

See also: typology; psychological-types; introversion; extraversion; thinking; feeling; sensation; intuition; unconscious; neurosis.
