Since they mention Jung, this is a good time to mention Adler and “The Courage to be Disliked.”
For me it’s been a where-have-you-been-all-my-life book. Recently, it has also helped take the sting out of a relationship recently going sideways.

As an avid reader of Hacker News, one of the most valuable aspects of the platform for me is the ability to discover books and podcasts. I appreciate your recommendation for this book.

Adler is barely mentioned any more. For most of the 20th century people would say "Freud, Jung, Adler" as a trio. It will be interesting if Adler gets rediscovered/rehabilitated.

I’ve only recently discovered and read “Courage” and wish I had read it in HS or college.
Where Freud blames your past, Adler says you now are accountable for you. Be an adult.
The world would be a better place if more ppl subscribed to Adler.

I noticed this too. When I do a quiz I'm 51% introvert, 49% extrovert: selectively both.

When I get such answers in a quiz I assume the test is measuring noise, I.e. the test is bad.
