Jung’s Psychological Types and Sensory Processing Sensitivity

The relationship between Jung’s psychological types and Sensory Processing Sensitivity was investigated. Undergraduate students (N=263) completed the Japanese version of the Sensory Processing Scale and Jung Psychological Types Scale (JPTS). The results indicated that the Introverted Feeling types have characteristics of more ease of excitation, while Extraverted Sensation types and Extraverted Intuition types have less ease of excitation. These findings suggest that characteristics of psychological types are elaborated from the viewpoint of Sensory Processing Sensitivity.
