Essential Reading: CT's Methodology
Hi guys,
This is a series of 4 articles explaining the methodological framework from which CT is constructed and from which it operates. Up until now we've lacked a concise (and readily accessible) explanation as to what CT actually claims type to be, how it goes about defining type, how it corrects/refines its understanding and also conducts research. This has left a lot of newcomers confused about the essential framing of CT, which is needed before even diving into the model itself.
I apologize for not having this sooner. A lot of this has been implicit in how we've gone about doing research, but never quite written down. For quick reference, these four articles cover topics like:
PART 1
PART 2
PART 4
Phew! Gosh that was a slog. Don't read it all at once or your brain might asplode....
It's meant to be a reference for whenever a given question needs an official answer.
But thank you to anyone who reads any of it! Please inform me of any typos, holes or errors you find and I'll do my best to correct them.
- PT1: What really is Cognitive Type
- PT2: Emergent Properties
- PT3: CT's Methodology vs Jungian Typologies
- PT4: Complete Theoretical Index

I apologize for not having this sooner. A lot of this has been implicit in how we've gone about doing research, but never quite written down. For quick reference, these four articles cover topics like:
PART 1
- What is Type at the biological/genetic level
- What is Vultology's relationship to genetics & neuroscience
- What do we know about Type's evolutionary origin
- Why we think oscillation pairs are mutually exclusive
- Where is Type in the brain
- How much does Type factor into the differences between people
PART 2
- Why Type must be looked at through multiple layers of analysis simultaneously
- What those four main layers are:
- Why other models view Type from mainly one layer
- The fundamental problem with Psychometrics (Big Five, MBTI, DSM-5)
- The Flaws in the Jungian Cognitive Functions Approach
- Why Cognitive Type is not a Psychometric
- The Origins of Cognitive Type
- The Methodology of Cognitive Type
- Why we use terms like Ne/Ni/Se/Si/Te/Ti/Fe/Fi
- Why/How other Jungian models can update to CT
