“[On Jung's theory of psychological types:] My mother, Katharine C. Briggs, introduced it into our family and made it a part of our lives.

In the summer of 1942 we undertook to do it ourselves.” WellsKindLongMadeMotherOur LivesTheoryTypeJudgmentPerceptionSummerLong TimeInstrumentsPsychologicalMade ItOur FamilyPreferenceIntroversionJung Author:Isabel Briggs Myers
