What's Your Personal Equation & How Does it Affect How You See the World?

1 year ago

Have you ever heard the term, personal equation?
The term personal equation, in 19th- and early 20th-century science, referred to the idea that different observers have different reaction times, which can introduce bias when it comes to measurements and observations. - Wikipedia
Originating in the world of astronomy, the concept was moved into the area of social science by William James, then later adopted by Carl Jung who said,
"one sees what one can best see oneself."
Carl Gustav Jung - Swiss psychiatrist and psychoanalyst - founded a theory that each one of us experiences the world according to a particular combination between the way of "recharging energy" and the degree of development of the four psychological functions: thinking, feeling, sensation and intuition.
In psychology, this combination is called personal equation, knowing it helps us to better understand our way of seeing and experiencing the world.
The purpose of this presentation is to review some aspects of personality according to Jung's theory and put into perspective not only our own way of observing what surrounds us, but also to recognize that each one does so from a different and equally valid place.
