Motes and Beams: A Neo-Jungian Theory of Personality by Michael Pierce
4.0
I really enjoyed the comparison of the eight functions to the eight I Ching trigrams. This is the first I've seen someone link the I Ching to type outside of Human Design.
Pierce's profiles of the 16 personality types are excellent and more nuanced than what is out there on the internet. He understands that each type can't be viewed in isolation and is part of a mosaic of the other types.
His comparisons of each function to its opposite were also thought-provoking.
I like that Pierces uses an eight function model and I look forward to exploring how I can incorporate elements of his model, such as the I Ching archetypes, with John Beebe's eight function model.
I normally only read type books written by Jungian analysts and found this to be a worthy addition to my library that I will refer to regularly. This book helps cross the bridge between popular online typology and Jungian typology.
