Unlock Deeper Insight: Training in Jung’s Psychological Types

Our immersive training goes far beyond theory. It brings you into the heart of Carl Jung’s original model of psychological types—not just as a theory, but as a living framework.

We Don’t Put People in Boxes

Every person is truly unique. A GCI Profile highlights that uniqueness by assessing all eight of Jung’s types at work within an individual. Rather than reducing people to a single label, the profile reveals the dynamic interplay of gifts that shape distinctive patterns of behavior and point toward untapped potential. In our training, you’ll see how type dynamics are already alive and active in people’s lives.

What Jungian Analysts Are Saying

“Gifts Compass provides a highly developed and theoretically well-founded tool that allows for an understanding of typology which is far more accurate than other typology models. The Gifts Compass Inventory is comprehensively based on Jung’s writings and follows his psychological understanding of inner and outer characteristics, which implies a necessary understanding of often contradictory preferences. Especially the link to Jung’s theories of the individuation process provides a dynamic model which is highly useful when considering developmental processes.”

“Gifts Compass has the outstanding merit of staying close to Jung’s original intention of linking psychological type theory to the individuation process. It is a brilliant contribution to the field of typological theory and practice. Of all the attempts to apply psychological type theory to models of counseling and coaching, this is by far the best.”

The Training

To keep the learning both rich and interactive, you’ll prepare with short online lectures and carefully chosen films that bring type to life. By completing these before each class, our live, two-hour sessions can be devoted entirely to dialogue—exploring real-world applications with faculty and peers. This format gives you the chance to test your insights in conversation while also gaining fresh perspective from a diverse group of participants.

Many find that the training does more than sharpen their professional practice—it also brings deep personal clarity about their own gifts and growth. The result is an experience that is as transformative as it is practical.

WHAT GRADUATES ARE SAYING

The Training

WHAT GRADUATES ARE SAYING

Clients gain a profound understanding of their typology, not as a blueprint, but as a means to navigate life’s waves. It shows them their unique gifts, how to bring them into the world and find the opposing qualities, quite often hidden in unconscious depths, to bring them to wholeness. Paving the path for a meaningful relationship with themselves and others, making career decisions that bring fulfillment.

Very organised, great mix of materials and plenty of opportunity for discussion.

Student of Analytical Psychology,

I enjoyed the depth and richness of the content, the interaction and direct learning from instructors. The practical learning on how to "read the melody" has also been great. Small class sizes are much appreciated!

Nicole Gruel

The training has been very rich and has exceeded my expectations!

I found the training deepened my understanding of Jung's model of the psyche and found the tools for working with the deep psyche better than anything else out there.

Norman Wolfe

Author of The Living Organization

For OVAJA, the value of the approach and training materials was three-fold: getting us back to Jung's own thinking and words re: his psychology of individuation; helping us to appreciate the nuances of our own group profile, including how our society's collective shadow may affect our meetings and decisions; and lastly, by breathing life back into a theory which, like any which attempts to slice and dice the human psyche, needs the warmth of a human storyteller to keep it alive

Jan Zalla

, Jungian Analyst & Chair, Ohio Valley Association of Jungian Analysts (OVAJA)

A thoroughly engaging and informative course which led me to think deeply about my own psychological type and to consider what gifts I can bring to the analytical psychology profession. The GCI inventory remains true to Jung's classic theory of psychological types and takes you on a journey to discover yourself and others while giving you a great tool to help your clients, both in the workplace and private practice, to raise their own awareness and understanding of their psychological type in the context of individuation.

Nicolau Toko

Diploma Candidate, Analytical Psychology, International School of Analytical Psychology, Zurich; UK

“I made discoveries about my own type preferences. I had never really learned Jung's typology properly, and had a very erroneous and superficial grasp of it. I realized as well that I had picked up quite a bit of misuse of the typology in my Jungian training. The elaborations of the typology resolves a lot of the problems my colleagues and I had in trying to apply it . . . The elaboration of typology resolves a lot of the problems my colleagues and I had in trying to apply it. I loved the Reading the Melody practicums. They're great! This is the first time that I feel I understand Jung's model.”

Mira Khazzam

Jungian Analyst, Canada

The Gifts Compass Training helped me to deepen all my previous knowledge about the psychological types and individuation and relate it to my personal life, relationships and professional interactions as a coach. It allowed me to go further in my ability to help my clients deepen their human development. I confidently recommend this course to individuals and professionals who want to learn more about themselves and those with whom they interact.

Joana Areias

The GCI training has been an enriching experience not only for allowing me to work in depth with the Jungian theory of types, but to also practice it and to apply it in a very warm and creative space.

Luis Moris

Analista junguiano, Suíça

The reading and lectures have helped me appreciate how clearly Jung wrote about the unfolding, individuating personality at the centre of his psychic model, and that the psychological types and functions are key to its exploration. . . As someone who does not enjoy the purely conceptual, watching film and discussing it with a group, has enlivened the training and made it so much more fun for me than pure guided reading.

Joanna Murphy

MD, Student of Analytical Psychology, C. G. Jung Institute, Zurich; UK

The Gifts Compass training has provided a well-grounded understanding of Jung’s type model, and illustrated how understanding the types is profoundly important for personal growth and transformation. I have used the DiSC Personal Profile with my coaching clients for years but the Gifts Compass adds a whole new dimension. I recommend this training to anyone who wants to go deeper.

Barb Mauntler

Executive Coach, Organizational Development Consultant, USA

I found the course to be very interesting and presented in an easy to digest form. I think that the tools it provided alongside the terminology and insights from Jungian psychology are fascinating and they helped me better understand my relationships with friends, family and colleagues. I highly recommend this course to anyone interested in learning more about psychology and themselves.

“I loved sessions 5 and 6, as well as the Reading the Melody practicums. They're great! 🙂 And building the bridge between theory and real life via movies is a great idea!

Sonia DaVeiga

“It allowed me to go further in my ability to help my clients deepen their human development. I confidently recommend this course to people and professionals who want to learn more about themselves and those with whom they interact.”

Professional Coach

Training with Gift’s Compass brought a fullness of understanding and comprehension of Jung’s typological system to the point where I could work with it both analytically and astrologically. It was a wonderful and deepening experience.

Senhor Berg

President of the International Association for Analytical Psychology (Jungian Psychology)

I have worked with CEOs and other organizational leaders for over 40 years and used a variety of assessments to help them along their developmental journey. Nothing compares to the Gifts Compass Inventory (GCI) for revealing the underlying patterns for both strengths and shadow. The GCI offers insights into how to help them develop and mature as persons and leaders in ways no other instruments have.

Norman Wolfe

Consultora de Desenvolvimento Organizacional, Autora de "The Living Organization"

In the Gifts Compass, I have found a highly creative and differentiated advancement of C.G. Jung's original ideas on psychological types. Being an image-based, user-friendly model, it appeals to the soul and the imagination, to professionals and laypersons alike. Unlike other models I have worked with, it avoids the sense of "boxing in'' or stereotyping as it illustrates unrestricted type preferences and the possibility for individuals to hold preferences that seem contradictory or paradoxical. Perhaps most critically, the Gifts Compass remains true to Jung's idea of the individuation process, reminding us that psychological type does not constitute the personality as a whole, and that in-depth work with types necessarily involves Page 4 of 13 one's active engagement with the realities of psychological one-sidedness, the shadow, and the unconscious.

Stacy Wirth

Psicólogo Analítico, Suíça

The GCI is a powerful instrument both in assessment and treatment. It is a dynamic tool and one can take the GCI along the analytical journey to see the changes within the psyche and also in relationships in the outer world.

Gunilla Midboe

Psicólogo Analítico, Suécia

The GCI Provides a very clear overview of a person’s psychological makeup, in terms of types, on both the conscious and unconscious sides of the psyche. The overview is quite helpful for understanding the tension of opposites at work in the client’s individuation.

Vanessa Prins

Psicólogo Analítico, Bélgica

The GCI provides important insights into how to develop one’s natural talents and how to find greater fulfillment in life, both professionally and personally. It is a holistic tool that enables a clearer understanding of the need for personal growth at different stages of life. I love using the Gifts Compass with my coaching clients on their personal journeys of discovery.

Magdalena Poradzka

Coach de Liderança, Polônia

“The GCI is extremely valuable for working with clients, since it accurately characterizes their strengths and flaws, preferences and dislikes, which reflect the way they typically relate with themselves and the world at large. All of this is precious information for practitioners and clients during the journey of self knowledge and self-development.”

Pedro Mendes

Analista junguiano, Suíça

“During these challenging times, I have found GCI to be a useful and objectively nonthreatening way to describe a subjects’ psychological typology with the particular focus on projection and shadow or opposing typologies. This allows for a natural segue into a discussion of individuation. Grounded in Jungian Analytical Psychology, I highly recommend GCI to anyone who would wish to understand their own restlessness and gifts as well as how to effectively apply this knowledge to clinical work.”

The Films

We use films to illustrate aspects of Jung’s fluid and dynamic model of psychological types. “Billy
Elliot” and “About Schmidt” introduce the theme of individuation, then each of the subsequent films
considers type in the context of individuation.
