While the roots of modern personality theory extend back to Hippocrates and the theory of the four humors, contemporary ideas owe much to Carl Jung’s magisterial book, Psychological Types. Jung’s work gave us the categories of introvert and extrovert, as it explored what has come to be understood as the cognitive bases for our habits of mind. These are powerful ideas but also complex and sometimes obscure. Applying them to law school teaching and learning (and law practice) can be very fruitful, if we pay careful attention to ourselves and colleagues, the structure of the ideas we convey, the complexity of the skills we aim to sharpen and the settings in which we teach and learn. While the theory has something to say about teaching and learning in large groups, the most widely cited pedagogic notion that flows from personality type theory—the claim that teachers should match their mode of presentation to the learning styles of the students—is not among them. In the large classroom, we might better match our modes of presentation to the structure of the ideas we are conveying than varying our presentations to appeal to a heterogeneous group of personality types. But when we work with individual students and small groups to build problem solving, interpersonal and collaborative skills, personality type theory can bea powerful guide to how we teach as well as a useful set of ideas for our students. This paper discusses Jungian Personality Theory and the lessons it offers in a variety of teaching and learning settings in law school.  \nINTRODUCTION  \nEach law student, like any person, is characterized by the particular combination of emotional responses, behaviors, and thought patterns that make up his or her personality.

Modern personality type theory, which hypothesizes that sets of traits vary together, grew out of the work of the great Swiss psychiatrist Carl Jung. His magisterial book, Psychological Types,2 first popularized the ideas of introversion and extraversion and categorized people by their preferences in three psychic dimensions he believed fundamental.3  \nLegal education has long been quite sensitive to dimensions of individual difference among law students other than personality. Law students are rigorously sorted for their aptitude in abstract reasoning and for their prior academic achievement in the law school application process, and they are re-sorted in that dimension by law school exams. In recent years, legal education has become a bit more attentive to other dimensions of individual difference as appreciation for the complexity of modern professional practice has deepened.4 We have grown more ambitious, aiming to challenge students intellectually while also better preparing them for the social and emotional dimensions of being a lawyer. Personality theory can help us meet those ambitions.  \nApplication of these complex and sometimes o","cbCaiu7w3xocZ9Gc","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiu7w3xocZ9Gc","pdf",142293,28,"English","# Abstract\n# Introduction\n## Personality theory roots and development\n## Legal education and individual difference\n## Classroom application and limits","[{\"question\":\"How does personality theory relate to recurring problems in law school teaching?\",\"answer\":\"It offers a framework for understanding how differences in emotional responses, behaviors, and thought patterns can shape teaching and learning, and how instruction can be structured accordingly.\"},{\"question\":\"What role does Carl Jung’s work play in the paper?\",\"answer\":\"Jung’s Psychological Types is presented as a major source for introversion and extraversion and for categorizing people by preferences across key psychic dimensions.\"},{\"question\":\"Why does the paper reject the idea of matching teaching mode to students’ learning styles in large classrooms?\",\"answer\":\"It argues that in large settings, instructors may better match teaching to the structure of the ideas being conveyed rather than vary presentation to appeal to a heterogeneous group of personality types.\"}]","LEARNING AND LAWYERING ACROSS PERSONALITY TYPES | PDF",71]
