Orientation. A term used to indicate the
general principle
governing a personal attitude or
viewpoint.
One's
psychological orientation determines how one sees and
interprets reality.
In Jung's model of typology, a thinking attitude is
oriented by the
principle of logic; a sensation attitude is oriented
by the direct
perception of concrete facts; intuition orients itself
to future
possibilities; and feeling is governed by subjective
worth. Each of these
attitudes may operate in an introverted or extraverted
way.
