ABSTRACT

Carol Shumate, PhD (ENFP), teaches the course Psychological Types at Pacifica Graduate Institute in Carpinteria, CA. She was introduced to Beebe’s eight-function model by Bob McAlpine in 2005 at a conference of the Association of Psychological Type. Soon thereafter, she joined McAlpine’s company, Type Resources, where she co-developed training and course materials on the eight-function model, including the Function-Archetype Decoder. In 2010, together with Mark Hunziker, she launched the online quarterly journal Personality Type in Depth to provide a platform for scholarship at the intersection of psychological type and depth psychology. Previously she used psychological type to teach writing and humanities at the college level. She received her doctorate in comparative literature at the University of Colorado, Boulder, where her thesis focused on enantiodromia in medieval texts.
