ABSTRACT
There's much talk in the type world nowadays about the Eight-Function or Whole Type Model, and the name is sometimes brought up as a pioneer in this area. Despite Isabel Briggs Myers's later reading of a single sentence in Jung's long and often contradictory book, he never made clear that the attitude type of the two functions in this two-function model of consciousness would alternate between function 1 and function 2. This model of the archetypal complexes that carry the eight functions of consciousness presents instrument for the exploration of type. More importantly, the model allows to see what position that function-attitude inhabits, and thereby points to watch for the archetypal ways in which, as a consequence of being in that position, that particular consciousness expresses itself. Jung said in Psychological Types that, if one takes into account the all-important attitudes, extraversion and introversion, they realize that there are in all eight functions, function-attitudes.
