Jungian Type Question. I have tested over 75 people in both young singles groups and premarital counseling and I have never had a person score EI=0, SN=0, TF=0 and J = 20. How do you counsel a young man with three of four traits = 0. This 23yr old young man seems unable to pick a life path and without trait preferences, I am struggling to provide him the proper encouragement. Carl Jung said this was a primitive personality but I didn’t find a any suggestion on of how would help a person…

Welcome Tom and apologies for my late welcome. The Alliance has been growing as we have met whatever the "magic number" was for the quantum leap to take place. Your question is new to me so it may take some time and further thought to even speculate with any genuineness. I've never heard of such scores myself. Was this in the course of premarital counseling an, if so, what does this say about his relationship? Hmmmm.
Again, welcome to the Alliance and I look forward to your posts.

Hi Tom. Welcome to the Alliance. Glad you've found us. I'm sorry you haven't had a response on your initial question, but do hang with it--sometimes people find it days or weeks later and respond. If you go in and "reply" to your own initial post with some comment, it will put it back at the top of "Recent Events" and people will have an easier time seeing it again. I wish I were more of an expert myself and could comment.
Meanwhile, once you have a chance to explore the online community a bit, I think you'll find a dynamic group of likeminded people who are all deeply drawn by the field of depth psychology. While there are many Jungian analysts and clinical psychologists here, our members come from many walks of life--artists, writers, doctors, healing professionals, counselors, students, business people, etc--so there is much cross-disciplinary knowledge and experience here to be shared.
On that note, there are many opportunities to engage as you browse the site. Some simple ideas to get your feet wet are to introduce yourself in the forum; asking a question, or responding to someone else's post; or sharing a link to an article or web site you like.
You may want to consider joining the online book club if you haven’t already (so many have joined the past day or two I haven't managed to keep track!)—There's a new author each month, and you can jump in at anytime and participate at whatever level you wish. Even if you don't have the book for this month, you can order it from Assisi Institute now and have it within a couple of days.
The Book Club is all done via writing in an open forum, so you can read all the comments that have gone on so far (including past authors in January and February!) and get a feel for what's happening. As you may know, in March, we are featuring a wonderful new book from Jungian Analyst Dr. Michael Conforti, a specialist in archetypes and new sciences, "Field, Form, And Fate: Patterns in Mind, Nature, and Psyche."
In case you need detailed help getting started and navigating the site, you can use the following link--and please don't hesitate to ask if you have any questions at all! I look forward to seeing you around the community~Bonnie Bright, Founder
