Jung proposed that there were four main functions of consciousness: Two of them being perceiving functions:
*Sensation and Intuition And two being judging functions:
*Thinking and Feeling

The functions are modified by two main attitude types: extraversion and introversion.

Jung theorized that whichever function dominates consciousness its opposite function is repressed and will characterize unconscious behavior.

The eight psychological types are categorized as follows:

*Extraverted Sensation
*Introverted Sensation
*Extraverted Intuition
*Introverted Intuition
*Extraverted Thinking
*Introverted Thinking
*Extraverted Feeling
