ABSTRACT
As regards the general characterization of the two types, Furneaux Jordan emphasizes that the more impassioned type includes far fewer prominent and striking personalities than the less impassioned. Jordan describes in general merely the introvert and the extravert. But, when he goes into details, his description becomes misleading, because traits of different function-types are blended together which a more thorough examination of the material would have kept apart. Of the extraverted woman Jordan says: She is marked by activity, vivacity, quickness, and opportuneness rather than by persistence or consistency. This chapter summarizes the chief points in Jordan’s discussion of the introverted woman: She has quiet manners, and a character not easy to read: she is occasionally critical, even sarcastic, but though bad temper is sometimes noticeable, she is not habitually fitful, or restless, or captious, or censorious, nor is she a “nagging” woman.
