Appendix 2A Dinner Party with the Types[The following scenario, freely adapted from the original, illustratesin a light vein how Jung's model of typology mightlook in everyday life.] 127The Extraverted Feeling TypeOur hostess is a feeling type. Who else would go to the troubleof bringing this group together? Even the invitations—elegantly handwritten on beautiful stationery—express her joyat gathering together these dear friends.She is a charming woman, warm and voluptuous as a Renoirpainting, a marvelous housekeeper, open minded, obliging,worldly. She is very attractive and hospitable, offeringfine food beautifully prepared and presented. Her home showsgreat taste.Since she tends to repeat the opinions of her husband andfather, her conversation is not particularly exciting. Sometimesher views are those of religious leaders or other wellknownpersonalities in her community. In all cases she expressesthem with the greatest conviction, as if they originatedwith her. She does not realize that her only real contributionto the evening—other than the food—is the emotional toneassociated with what she says.127 [First published in German as Das Diner der Psychologischen Typen(The Dinner Party of the Psychological Types), in Sammlung Dalp, Handschriften-deutung(The Interpretation of Handwriting) (Bern: Franke Verlage,1952).

Here he is:The Introverted Sensation TypeOur host is an art historian and collector. But thinking is forhim an inferior function, so although he collects books andowns an impressive collection, he does not delve deeply intotheir content.He is tall, dark and lean, as silent as his wife is talkative.He seems to barricade himself behind his wife's chatter. Hecannot fathom her dedication to these dinner parties whichforce him to abandon his beautiful, quiet study. However,they have agreed that she will organize the social side of theirlife and he knows from long experience that she is a master atthe art of entertaining. She is the one who brings needed extraversionto their marriage and connects them to the outsideworld.He greets his guests in an elegant way, a bit restrained, andoffers his slender hand to the well-known lawyer just comingin. In actual fact, he despises this woman, who is an extravertedthinking type. In greeting her, he mistakenly says,"Goodbye." The hostess, who observes this gaffe with horror,tries to make up for it with a double dose of friendliness.The Extraverted Thinking TypeThe lawyer is the first guest to arrive. Being very concernedwith her social position, she would never forgive herself if shewere late.Having recently graduated with honors, she is at the beginningof a promising career as a defense lawyer. Already shehas achieved some status as a speaker. Her judgment is accurateand her logic indisputable. Her arguments are based onaccepted, concrete facts, speculative ideas being alien to her.As with most extraverted thinking types, she is conservative
