The unconscious functions likewise group themselves in patterns correlated with the conscious ones. Thus, the correlative of conscious, practical thinking may be an unconscious intuitive-feeling attitude \u2013 C. G. Jung<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n <\/p>\n In the last article, we looked at oppositions\u2013psychological types that oppose the dominant type, inducing individuation. In this article, we will consider the collaborations that amplify those oppositions. I welcome your comments.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Colabora\u00e7\u00f5es<\/strong> <\/p>\n Jung noted that the auxiliary is different in all respects. So a feeling function, for example, would be supported by a perceiving function\u2013sensation or intuition\u2013different in all respects from the rational functions.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Yet he also noted that the auxiliary should not \u201ccontradict\u201d the \u201csovereignty\u201d of the dominant. This is a conundrum: the supporting function must be different in all respects, yet must not oppose the sovereign orientation of the dominant function.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The directional orientation of the auxiliary function solves the dilemma. A function different in all respects is rendered supportive to the dominant type with the addition of a congruent directional orientation.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Extraverted feeling, for example, could be beneficially supported by extraverted sensation. Sensation is different in all respects, yet the compatible extraverted orientations of the two types render the auxiliary supportive.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Just as collaborations occur in the conscious domain, similar collaborations occur to support the inferior type. In this way, the oppositions are reinforced, and the drama of individuation is accentuated.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The unconscious functions likewise group themselves in patterns correlated with the conscious ones.

\nA person usually prefers one of the eight types\u2013the dominant type\u2013but it does not stand alone. At least one other type comes to its aid as an auxiliary type for a more fully differentiated orientation to life.<\/p>\n
