"The self is our life's goal, for it is the completest expression of that fateful combination we call individuality."

- Carl Jung

Dynamics of Personality Type takes you deeper on your journey of Self-discovery. It explains how you access and gather information and how you evaluate that information. These are the two basic processes you use every minute of every day in every situation. They are your ways of "knowing" that sustain you. They are also the tools you have to help you step outside the limits of your inborn tendencies and the environmental forces that can unconsciously shape your behavior.

The course includes a popular out-of-print book of the same title as well as some activities, quizzes, and surveys to assist you in your active participation to unlock the dynamics behind the pattern of your own individuality. Use it to help you achieve your life's goal—the complete expression of you.
