I enjoyed this article. I like to get a little glimpse into the life of Jung, from time to time. It is interesting to see the play of relationships and of life with different personality types. I don't see as much about that here, at depth alliance, but I am still looking.
Having taken the Myers-Briggs test, I am seemingly forever tagged and bagged as an INTJ, although the test results indicated I am only slightly I over E and it gave a percentage. I am not sure how empirically sound the test is but I had a lot of fun reading about the introverted intuitive personality in Psychological Types. I seem to fit my profile, there being room in these percentages for growth. I took the test fairly fast, putting in my first impression and not taking time to change my mind or let my conscious biases enter into the process too much. I did not take it again. Ms. Wheelwright's sensation orientation is understandable from the article and it is interesting that she got along well with Emma as a result of it.
I was moved by the subject of her book, The Death of a Woman. Having passed the rubicon of the second half of life, I am interested in the approach to death that many people have. I hope that I can greet death with the same sense of peace that others have been able to achieve.
