The Four Functions

Overview

Carl Jung described the psyche as perceiving and interpreting the world through four core functions: Thinking, Feeling, Sensation, and Intuition.

In creative practice, becoming aware of these functions helps us tune into overlooked ways of knowing and bring greater wholeness to our work.
