JUNGIAN TYPES: Levels of harmony of the EXTRAVERTED INTUITING type
What can a visionary, a trickster and a vagabond have in common? They can all belong to the same psychological type.
🧍♂️ INTUITING Extraverted type (Ne) is well versed in the world of ideas, perspectives, and possibilities, feels comfortable with the unknown, is driven by curiosity, and boldly moves into uncharted territory. Has a developed imagination and out-of-the-box thinking, sees people's potential and reveals the hidden talents.
As the Ne type moves through the levels of harmony, his behavior changes to the opposite.
While the harmonious type Ne has a high level of self-organization, sees each person's unique gifts and finds ways to optimize these for the good of all, the unbalanced Ne type uses tricks and flattery to take advantage of other people in his own interests, is characterized by impulsiveness and infantile reactions.
Let's consider in detail the most vivid manifestations of Ne type at different levels of harmony. The level descriptions apply equally to both men and women.
🔸 VISIONARY - Lives ahead of time, he sees new possibilities, illuminates new directions in the development of science, culture and society, initiates positive change, pushing humanity toward advancement and giving impetus to cultural development. He has an ability to see the potential in everyone and everything, to bring new outlooks, that are beyond the horizon of most people’s vision, able to show others a holistic picture of the world. Visionary dispels stagnation, dismantles old ideological systems, helps groups break out of outdated social patterns and beliefs, free themselves from entrenched attitudes and limiting stereotypes. Helps people unleash their potential and find their vocation.
🔸 INNOVATOR - Intuitive, flexible, imaginative, and innovative, he brings new ideas, talks about the wonderful possibilities that a bright future will bring, embodies a new vision, blazes the path in a new sector, going where no one has gone before. Innovator encourages others to search for something new and unexplored, broadens their outlook, helps to see the diversity of possibilities, shows ingenuity in solving problems, inspires others with his optimistic vision. He sees people's potential and reveals the hidden talents of others, gives them confidence in their abilities, shows them who they have the potential to be. Has the ability to see the best in all people, even if people don't see those qualities in themselves.
🔸 CAREFREE - Has an easy breezy attitude, strives for change, stimulation and variety, cherishes freedom, quickly grasps new ideas, loves to meet new people and try new things, he is curious and is always up for an adventure. He believes that the world is full of opportunity and does not want to miss out on any of it. Carefree moves forward with optimism and an ability to always look on the bright side, at the same time, he is so preoccupied with opportunities that he sees few if any threats. He is good at the big picture, not so much the little details. He develops fantastic and bold, often risky ideas, and then expects others to figure out how to implement them, since he himself can be detached from practical realities. His activities and interests change frequently as he is constantly seeking new experiences. He often has lots of projects on the go at once, tends to get distracted easily and flit from one thing to another, which can lead to a disorganized and disorderly life.
🔸 BLAGGER - Dispersed, inconsistent, impulsive and unpredictable, he is easily enthused but quickly get distracted by something new, starting new projects but never finishing any of them, tends to neglect the practical aspects of life. He has difficulty focusing and has a short attention span on a task. Thanks to his talkativeness and developed imagination, he can chat up anyone but he doesn't develop deep friendships, because he wants to remain free, not to feel tied to anything or anyone. He is fun to be around for a bit, but not really trusted. Blagger generates ideas on the run and often contradicts themself, he promises easily but never delivers. He is continually scenting out new possibilities, which he pursues with an equal unconcern both for his own welfare and for that of others, pressing on quite heedless of human considerations, tearing down what has only just been established in his everlasting search for change. He is willing to go to any length to avoid boredom and feeling trapped.
🔸 TRICKSTER - Considers himself to be very talented and creative, expects other people to meet his needs, to help develop his talents, advance his career, implement his ideas. Uses his developed imagination to push his ideas through. Seeks a path to an easy life through trickery and misdirection. Trick others into doing monotonous, hard work instead of oneself. Requires others to provide him with entertainment and a comfortable life, avoids boredom and routine. He can change his mind at any time, has a knack for slipping out of any situation that makes him feel uncomfortable.
🔸 VAGABOND - Leads a nomadic lifestyle and never grows roots. He fears routine and becoming homebound, doesn't want to depend on another person or be burdened of material possessions. He wants to be free to respond to impulses and desires as soon as they arise, without delay. His need for freedom from constraints and obligations may be so intense that social or family ties seem like a suffocating burden to him, and he indulges in escapism, walking away without a backward glance. The open road is calling him. The “lost soul” is on an aimless journey without direction, disconnected from others people. The illusory sense of freedom.
