   Carl Jung –
       Parts of Psyche
                1.ego - identifies with the conscious mind
                2.personal unconscious - includes anything which is not presently conscious, but can be.
                        -is like most people's understanding of the unconscious in that it includes both memories that are easily brought to mind and those that have been suppressed for some reason
                        -But it does not include the instincts that Freud would have it include.
                3.collective unconscious - "psychic inheritance."
                        -It is the reservoir of our experiences as a species, a kind of knowledge we are all born with.

       Archetypes - The contents of the collective unconsciious
                1.Mother archetype
                2.Mana - spiritual power
                        -spiritual demands
                3.The shadow - It is the "dark side" of the ego, and the evil that we are capable of is often stored there
                        -the shadow is amoral -- neither good nor bad, just like animals
                4.Persona - represents your public image
                5.Anima and Animus –
                        a. The anima is the female aspect present in the collective unconscious of men
                        b. The animus is the male aspect present in the collective unconscious of women

        Introversion and Extroversion
                Introversion – inward towards the bubjective world of the individual
                        -a person who tends to be quiet, imaginative and more interested in ideas than in other people

                Extroversion – outward towards the external environment
                        -a person who tends to be sociable, outgoing, and interested in people and things

Jung intended for them to refer more to whether you ("ego") more often faced toward the persona and outer reality, or toward the collective unconscious and its archetypes. In that sense, the introvert is somewhat more mature than the extrovert.
