temperament and personality typing

For many years I've had a special interest in type, typology, personality types, and temperament. I initially came to know of type or typing through the Myers-Briggs (Myers Briggs) paradigm. I didn't read Jung on type till around three years later. Since then, I've grown to understand the differences between Jung and the more recent popularizers of his ideas, such as Myers Briggs, Keirey, etc. As I grow in understanding about type, my writing on it has changed as well. I've left the orignal dates of composition on most of the material here, though some of my original articles are no longer available.

Professionally, I often use temperament testing, word association, and scales for intellect, reality testing, and affect (i.e. MMSE, Hamilton Depression Scale) in my neuropsychiatric practice. These are sometimes helpful in clarifying the clinical situation or at least in providing some orientation to myself and the client .
