ABSTRACT
Wheelwright, the analyst who in the years between 1940 and 1980 did so much to keep Jung's theory of psychological types alive as a clinically relevant modality of interpretation, liked to say that the ability to recognize psychological type is a 'knack'. From his observations, and perhaps influenced by what he had gathered of Jung's view, Jo was certain that the dominant, auxiliary, and tertiary shared the same attitude, counterbalanced only by the fourth, or inferior, function. Jo cited his own psychological type as evidence. A companion essay by James Hillman on the feeling function shows the number of other psychological entities that can confuse the identification of a function of consciousness and the need for clinicians to differentiate all of these. To check the assessment that this author is using extraverted intuition and introverted thinking, the reader may consider that the feeling aspect of the chapter is not its strong point.
