Jung<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p>With this article, we continue our series on the \u201cshadow\u201d or \u201cinferior\u201d types.<\/p>\n<h4>Realistic Sensation<\/h4>\n<p>Extraverted sensation is the type most fully oriented to what we normally think of as \u201creal\u201d\u2013sensual perception of the tangible world at large.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNo other human type can equal the extraverted sensation type in realism. His sense for objective facts is extraordinarily developed.\u201d (CW 6, par. 606)<\/p>\n<p>Details, abundant details, are accurately recognized and recorded. What is considered real is anything perceived through the five senses.<\/p>\n<p>Enjoying the moment of sensuous reality\u2013an engaging sunset, a fresh breeze in the morning, dinner in a fine restaurant\u2013is a perpetual aim.<\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2208\" src=\"https:\/\/yourlifeatlas.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/leon-300x233-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"233\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Earnest Hemingway may have carried an orientation to this type, for he seemed compelled not just to write, which would be a more introverted activity, but also to experience the sensuous life to the full\u2013enjoying a \u201cclean well lighted place\u201d in Paris, driving an\u00a0ambulance in Italy, going on safari in Africa, fishing in the Caribbean, watching bull fights in Spain.<\/p>\n<p>Extraverted sensation engages an individual with life\u2013life in the moment and life lived \u201cout loud\u201d in the world.<\/p>\n<h4>Extraverted Sensation in the Shadow<\/h4>\n<p>When this orientation is submerged in favor of other conscious lead types (often introverted intuition), then it acquires special oppositional attributes that we could consider primitive or undeveloped.<\/p>\n<p>A person might find it difficult to stay grounded, to stay in close touch with the concrete facts of practical life. The joke goes: \u201cIf you tell him to hit the ground, he\u2019ll miss.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Details may be hazy, overgeneralized, and ambiguous. The individual would be less aware of tangible detail and more aware of the holistic experience with images in the inner life.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2209\" src=\"https:\/\/yourlifeatlas.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/albert-einstein-300x250-1.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"250\" \/><\/p>\n<p>It is easy to envision Albert Einstein walking down a street in Princeton, NJ with his head figuratively in the clouds. So much engaged with ideas inwardly, he might lose track of the route to his destination. Extraverted sensation in the shadow is the weakness of every absent-minded professor.<\/p>\n<p>As the lesser \u201cdumbling,\u201d extraverted sensation in the shadow helps to oppose the lead types, lest they become overly one-sided. The opposition is primitive and undeveloped, instinctual and intemperate, but provides ample ballast to keep the \u201crarified\u201d lead types tethered closer to earth.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe unconscious personality can best be described as an extraverted sensation type of a rather low and primitive order. Instinctuality and intemperance are the hallmarks of this sensation, combined with an extraordinary dependence on sense-impressions. This compensates the rarefied air of the intuitive\u2019s conscious attitude, giving it certain weight, so that complete \u2018sublimation\u2019 is prevented.\u201d (CW 6. par. 663)<\/p>\n<p>Should the lead type completely sublimate extraverted sensation as a shadow type, extraverted sensation will orchestrate its revenge, seeking to destroy all that the lead type most values. In the next article, we will consider this destructive response to extreme one-sidedness.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>JG Johnston<\/strong><br \/>\nAutor von <em>Jungs unentbehrlicher Kompass<\/em><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/yourlifeatlas.com\/de\/book\/jungs-indispensable-compass-navigating-the-dynamics-of-psychological-types\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2201\" src=\"https:\/\/yourlifeatlas.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Jungs-Compass-Cov-er-200x300-2.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"200\" height=\"300\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><em>7\/1\/2015<\/em><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Das Wunder, das wir sind Frage: Wie viele Zellen braucht man, um ein menschliches Gehirn zu bilden?
