Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. Carl Gustav Jung was born in which European city and country?

Answer: Kesswil, Switzerland

Jung was born in Kesswil, Switzerland on July 26, 1875. His parents were the Pastor Paul Jung, and Emilie Jung, whose father was a minister.
2. Who was Jung's mentor?

Answer: Sigmund Freud

3. Over what issue did Jung and his mentor part ways?

Answer: the importance of sexuality in human neuroses

Freud emphasized the importance of repressed sexual abuse and other issues of sexuality in neuroses too much for Jung's taste. Jung had different ideas about motivations and personality, and Freud didn't like being challenged.
4. Which of the following correctly lists the three parts of the psyche according to Jung?

Answer: ego, personal unconscious, collective unconscious

Jung stated that the ego was what we think of as our conscious mind. The personal unconscious is what one is not aware of, but can be tapped into. The collective unconscious is the concept that all of humanity shares a sort of inherited memory that we aren't aware of that still affects our actions and decisions. Though this theory in the exact form postulated by Jung has been rejected, elements of it have been used in more modern theories.
5. Which of the following archetypes is NOT paired with its contemporary symbology?

Answer: Child-God: midget, first-grader

Archetypes are powerful emotional symbols that Jung believed to be part of our collective unconscious. He pointed to literature and stories throughout time, with many of these elements present across many cultures.

The contemporary symbology for a Child-God would be an elf or a leprechaun.
6. Jung was the first to use which of the following as a method of exploring personality?

Answer: word association

Jung used word association in exploring his concept of complexes, which are emotionally charged feelings, thoughts and ideas all interrelated in a particular theme. He believed that by presenting a list of words to people and measuring any hesitancy or physical signs of distress, he could pick out things that were unconsciously bothering them.
7. What are Jung's four functions of the mind?

Answer: sensing, thinking, feeling, intuiting

The four functions of the mind according to Jung are sensing (using senses to get to know our surroundings), thinking (evaluating ideas), feeling (weighing emotions), and intuiting (unconsciously processing things).
8. What are the two major attitudes according to Jung?

Answer: introversion and extroversion

Introverted people tend to focus their psychic energy inward on themselves. Extroverted people tend to focus their psychic energy outwardly, and are drawn to others. The two aren't mutually exclusive, because most people exhibit signs of both attitudes.
9. Which of the following psychological tests is derived from Jung's theories of personality?

Answer: Myers-Briggs Type Indicator

The Myers-Briggs Type Indicator, or MBTI, is the test derived from Jung's theories of personality types. There are 125 questions to the test, and based on answers given, people are placed into one or more of sixteen personality type categories.
10. Which of the following quotes CANNOT be attributed to Jung?

Answer: "Religion is an illusion and it derives its strength from the fact that it falls in with our instinctual desires."

"Religion is an illusion and it derives its strength from the fact that it falls in with our instinctual desires" is attributed to Sigmund Freud. Jung grew up with a religious background, and his views on religion did not include it being an illusion.
