We must accept the types we belong to and learn to express and develop them to their fullest potential. Assagioli hints at the higher and lower expression of each of the four types.<\/span><\/span><\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

By Roberto Assagioli.<\/span><\/span><\/strong> Original title: The Four Basic Types, 1932. It was translated from Italian by Gordon Symons. Original Italian title: I Quattro Tipi Fondamentali. [Editor’s note (KS). This is unfinished notes from an early manuscript; Assagioli later developed his sevenfold typology called\u00a0 <\/span><\/span>The Seven Types<\/span><\/span><\/a> \u00a0and presented them in his book Psychosynthesis Typology]<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

The study of psychological types, as well as serving to help us to know ourselves and others better, and therefore help us better understand, appreciate, and when necessary, tolerate and endure those who belong to types other than ours, constitutes a necessary basis for knowledge for acting on ourselves, to improve and master ourselves.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Just as general psychology has its highest human value as the basis of psychagogy and psychic culture, pedagogy and psychotherapy, individual psychology is precious because it allows us to refine, specify and apply to the various types and specific needs of each individual, those three major branches of practical psychology. So, after recognizing which type or psychological subtype we belong to, we are able to act on ourselves in a more enlightened, appropriate and effective way … Regarding our psychological type, we have two major tasks, or rather, groups of tasks:<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

1) Manifestation or expression.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

2) Correction and balance or reconciliation. \u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

  1. – EXPRESSION<\/span><\/span><\/li>\r\n<\/ol>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

    Our first vital task is to manifest, to express our inner nature in the fullest, most fruitful, highest and purest way possible. This premise is not superfluous. Alongside many who are too accepting of this, who are so to speak totally immersed in it, and who do not understand the others, there are on the other hand those who devalue it excessively, who are intolerant of its limitations, and would like to escape from it, giving themselves to activities for which they lack the necessary innate qualities.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n
