And so one must be what one is: one must discover one's individuality, that center of personality, which is equidistant between the conscious and the unconscious: we must aim for that ideal point towards which nature appears to be directing us.— C. G. Jung

For Professionals

Understanding a person's preferred psychological types provides important insights about the person's history, strengths, trouble spots, and opportunities for growth. The GiftsCompass™ Inventory (GCI), illustrates nuanced preferences for each of the eight psychological types described by Carl Jung in his seminal book, Psychological Types.

Jung's conceptual "compass" of psychological types played a key role in navigating the "voyages of discovery" that he termed individuation—the full expression of the unique person. The subtitle for the first edition of Psychological Types was "The Psychology of Individuation."

As important as the preferred type in his model is the type that is least preferred and therefore oppositional—the "shadow." Individuation is a process of perpetual movement toward a union of those opposites—a process of becoming "whole."
