Eight functions, sixteen spines

Every type is a whole stack, not a slogan.

The four letters are a door. Behind them sit all eight functions: hero, parent, child, anima or animus, then the shadow: opposing, witch, trickster, daimon. Each type has a role, a temperament, and a way of entering a room. The four small figures on each card are the four ways that type comes to spend its days. None of them gets to be the whole person. The whole person is a much worse roommate, and a much better one.
