Question:

According to Jung's typology, which type of people prefer to be alone and withdraw themselves in the face of emotional conflicts?

Options:

Introverts

Extraverts

Type-A personalities

Type-B personalities

Correct Answer:

Introverts

Explanation:

Jung has proposed another important typology by grouping people into introverts and extraverts. This is widely recognised. According to this typology, introverts are people who prefer to be alone, tend to avoid others, withdraw themselves in the face of emotional conflicts, and are shy. Extraverts, on the other hand, are sociable, outgoing, drawn to occupations that allow dealing directly with people, and react to stress by trying to lose themselves among people and social activity.
