"I came to Types with some piecemeal knowledge via Myers-Briggs from pop-psychology and workshops. I knew that the entire type was important and that there was a function "stack". I thought we had access to all aspects of the personality, but some functioned more easily and others needed acknowledgement and work. However, I had not considered this in terms of degree of the conscious and the unconscious. Nor did I realize that there were attitudes applied to these functions. That each function had an introverted and extraverted attitude was a revelation to me, as was the fact this turned the "stack" into an eightfold path. It felt like my understanding of types finally began to flow in a dynamic way." – Ellen Robinson (INFP), Pacifica doctoral candidate

"This course has unlocked and illuminated—or made conscious—a powerful dynamic that plays out within my own inner psychic landscape. Having this personal touchstone has helped to contextualize this material and bring it very much to life not only for me but for my work with my clients as well." – Erika Raney (ISTP), Pacifica doctoral candidate and business coach

"After taking this course, I have been amazed how insufficiently the larger public (myself previously included) understands types, including a tendency to incorrectly type-match people and falsely stereotype the sixteen profiles." – Amy Bucciarelli (INTJ), Pacifica doctoral candidate and art therapist

"Perhaps the biggest takeaway from this [experience] was the recognition, as well as internalization, of typology as not the claustrophobic categorization it is sometimes assumed to be. My understanding now is that typology is more like a roadmap for the soul or an individuation scavenger hunt." – Elliott Morgan (ISTP), Pacifica doctoral candidate

"I so thoroughly enjoyed your presentation on Saturday as it is helping to ground the knowledge in practical clinical experience." – Michelle Northrop (ENTJ), Northrop Psychotherapy

"Dr. Shumate demonstrates a deep yet approachable mastery of psychological types, both the theory and the clinical application. Her ability to quickly grasp the subtle typological characteristics affecting a consultation is remarkable, and is paired with insightful avenues for further exploration and growth. It is no surprise that her best-selling book is required reading for anyone interested in going beyond the output of a typical personality "test" or wondering, at a more substantive level, how to appreciate and integrate a Jungian approach to type in understanding the Self."—Logan Hegg, PsyD
