Abstract

This paper continues Dr. Carl Jung’s work on psychological types and details a new model known as the Refined Octagram. The Refined Octagram expands upon the work of previous researchers but modifies properties, definitions, terms, and interrelationships between constituent components thereof. The Refined Octagram proposes that the MBTI system is incomplete and requires the implementation of an additional framework. Octagram elements are detailed and assigned functions. This paper proposes the Refined Octagram hypothesis, which proposes additional complexity to MBTI theory and how additional theoretical frameworks should be implemented in future works.
