Extraversion and the Four Functions 49tal attachments or mystical interests that defy all logic.In such instances, the conscious thinking process is subvertedby primitive reactions that have their source in the subject'sunconscious and undifferentiated feeling.The Extraverted Feeling TypeThe feeling of the extraverted type, like extraverted thinking,is oriented by objective data and generally in harmony withobjective values.As a rational function that determines what something isworth, one might assume that feeling would be based on subjectivevalues. According to Jung, however, this is true onlyof introverted feeling:Extraverted feeling has detached itself as much as possiblefrom the subjective factor and subordinated itself entirely tothe influence of the object. Even when it appears not to bequalified by a concrete object, it is none the less still under thespell of traditional or generally accepted values of somekind. 54It is characteristic of extraverted feeling that it seeks to createor maintain harmonious conditions in the surrounding environment.For instance, the extraverted feeling type willpraise something as "beautiful" or "good" not because of asubjective evaluation, but because it is proper to do so accordingto the social situation. This is not pretence or hypocrisy,but a genuine expression of feeling in its extraverted mode—an act of adjustment to objective criteria.A painting, for instance, is called "beautiful" because a paintinghung in a drawing room and bearing a well-known signatureis generally assumed to be beautiful, or because to call it"hideous" would presumably offend the family or its fortunate54 Ibid., par. 595.

Collective expressions of culture dependon it. Out of extraverted feeling people go to the theater,to concerts, to church and the opera; they take part in businessconventions, company picnics, birthday parties, etc.; sendChristmas and Easter cards, attend weddings and funerals,celebrate anniversaries and take notice of Mother's Day.Extraverted feeling types are generally amiable and makefriends easily. They are quick to evaluate what the outer situationrequires, and readily sacrifice themselves for others. Theyexude an atmosphere of warm acceptance, they get the ballrolling at a party. Except in extreme cases, the feeling hassome personal quality—there is a genuine rapport with others—eventhough the subjective factor is largely suppressed.The predominant impression is of a person well adjusted toexternal conditions and social values.Jung describes the typical manifestation of extraverted feelingin a woman:The "suitable" man is loved, and no one else; he is suitable notbecause he appeals to her hidden subjective nature—aboutwhich she usually knows nothing—but because he comes upto all reasonable expectations in the matter of age, position,income, size and respectability of his family, etc. . . . The lovefeeling of this type of woman . . . is genuine and not justshrewd. . . . There are countless "reasonable" marriages of thiskind and they are by no means the worst. These women aregood companions and excellent mothers so long as the husbandsand children are blessed with the conventional psychicconstitution. 5655 Ibid.56 Ibid., par. 597.
