==Personality Typology==
The [[concept]] of [[personality]] type refers to the [[psychological]] classification of different types of [[individuals]]. Personality types can be distinguished from personality traits, which come in different levels or degrees. Types involve qualitative [[differences]] between people, whereas traits involve quantitative differences.[1] According to type theories, for example, introverts and extraverts are two fundamentally different categories of people. According to trait theories, introversion and extraversion are part of a continuous [[dimension]], with many people in the middle. While typologies of all sorts have existed throughout time the most influential idea of psychological types originated in the theoretical work of [[Carl Jung]], published as Psychological Types in 1921. Other typologies such as Socionics, MBTI, and Keirsey Temperament Sorter all have roots in Jungian philosophy.
