Extraversion and the Four Functions 55and they are punctual; they don't lose keys; they remember toturn the stove off and don't leave the lights on overnight. Theyare found among engineers, editors, athletes and people inbusiness.Extraverted sensation types pay attention to the externals oflife. They are fashion conscious and like to be impeccablydressed; they keep a good table with plenty of fine wine; theysurround themselves with exquisite possessions, beautifulpeople. They love parties and active sports, meetings andcommittees. They are the kind of persons who climb MountEverest "because it's there." Those who do not share their typologicalpredilections are dubbed as stuffy and timid.In short, this type is oriented toward concrete enjoyment—"real life," lived to the full.To feel the object, to have sensations and if possible enjoythem—that is his constant aim. He is by no means unlovable;on the contrary, his lively capacity for enjoyment makes himvery good company; he is usually a jolly fellow, and sometimesa refined aesthete .... Conjectures that go beyond theconcrete are admitted only on condition that they enhancesensation. The intensification does not necessarily have to bepleasurable, for this type need not be a common voluptuary;he is merely desirous of the strongest sensations, and these, byhis very nature, he can receive only from outside. 63The ideal of extraverted sensation types is to be well adjustedto reality, things as they are—as they see and experiencethem.

They may also be excellentlovers, since their sense of touch is naturally attuned to theother's body.The Achilles heel of this type is introverted intuition. Whatis not factual, what cannot be seen, heard, touched or smelledis automatically suspect. Anything that comes from insideseems morbid. Only in the realm of tangible reality can theybreathe freely. Their thoughts and feelings will be explainedby objective causes or the influence of others. A change inmood is unhesitatingly blamed on the weather. Psychic conflictsare unreal—"nothing but" imagination—an unhealthystate of affairs that will soon clear up when surrounded byfriends.Within the subject, inferior intuition manifests in negativepremonitions, suspicious thoughts, possibilities of disaster,dark fantasies, etc. Von Franz says inferior intuition is "like adog sniffing in garbage pails." 64The most disagreeable traits of this type emerge to the extentthat the pursuit of sensation becomes all-consuming. Inthe extreme case, they become crude pleasure-seekers, un-64 Jung's Typology, p. 24.
