ISTJ (5w4)
Hugo Münsterberg personality type is ISTJ, while Carl Jung is an INTP.
But I’m not sure if you would gain anything by considering the ISTJ or INTP personality types in this way. It certainly doesn’t feel right to me, even though I have some inkling of the Jungian side of Carl Jung’s thinking. More on this later.
I have read the stories of Carl Jung’s life, including his early psychoanalytic training with Sigmund Freud. The two of them went to the same university, the University of Vienna.
However, Jung was also a student of Hermann von Helmholtz before he joined Freud as a colleague. In fact, there was a time when Jung and Freud got into a big fight about whether or not Freud was a better psychologist than Helmholtz. I have to admit that I have not read this part of the story. I’m not much of a history buff.
Jung, as a medical student, was a patient of Hermann von Helmholtz, a German physicist and physiologist. And, as an undergraduate, he was a patient of Sigmund Freud, a Viennese psychiatrist and neurologist.
Hugo Münsterberg (/ˈmʊnstərbɜːrɡ/; June 1, 1863 – December 16, 1916) was a German-American psychologist. He was one of the pioneers in applied psychology, extending his research and theories to industrial/organizational (I/O), legal, medical, clinical, educational and business settings. Münsterberg encountered immense turmoil with the outbreak of the First World War. Torn between his loyalty to the United States and his homeland, he often defended Germany's actions, attracting highly contrasting reactions.
