Abstract:

The study aims to demonstrate the most prominent features of personality theory among Western psychologist Carl Jung and its criticism from a psychological perspective. To achieve this, the researchers use the inductive method to track personality patterns and characteristics of Young, and the critical method to indicate the most prominent aspects of criticism related to what has been reached.

The study yields several conclusions, the most important is that Carl Jung describes the personality using many psychological terms, most notably the concepts of conscious and unconscious, ego and animus, individual unconscious and collective unconscious, and that the eight personality patterns that Jung reached resulted from the intersection of after introversion - extraversion with the four functions that it perform has the personality "thinking, feeling, sense, intuition", and that Carl Jung's theory bears a number of criticisms related to the scientific methodology used in it, as well as the conclusions it reached.

Keywords: Personality, Karl Jung's Theory, Personality Patterns.
