What is Type Theory?

Type Theory is based on observations by the Swiss psychologist Carl Jung. Type Theory explains why different kinds of people are interested in different things, are good at different kinds of work and sometimes find it difficult to understand each other.

Type theory provides a framework to understand behavior. It describes 16 dynamic energy systems, not static boxes that define who we are. A person’s four-letter type is more than a simple addition of their reported preferences; it is the interaction of the preferences with one another. Put simply, Type theory is based on the idea that everyone has natural preferences in the way they see the world, think, and do things.
