Jung began with a development on a personality typology that distinguished Introversion from Extroversion. Introverts were people who preferred their internal world of thoughts, feelings, fantasies and dreams, while the extroverts preferred the outdoors and people.
In that sense, the introverts are somewhat more mature than the extroverts. Culture values extroverts but Jung warned that we value our own type the most!
Functions
Jung suggested that there are four basic ways to deal with the inner and outer world.
The first is Sensing: It means getting information via senses. Jung called this one the irrational function because it involves getting to know the world through looking and listening rather than judgement of information.
The second is Thinking : Jung called this a rational function. To think means to evaluate ideas rationally. It involves decision making rather than a simple intake of information.
The third is Intuition : Jung called it 'seeing around corners'. It is irrational like Sensing but comes from an integration of large amounts of information and not merely the act of seeing and hearing the world.
The fourth is Feeling : this is the evaluation of one's overall emotional response. It gets irrational when lack of reasoning is present.
