In this paper I will analyze Jonathan Takes Enemy's personality to the Big Five- Extraversion (E), Neuroticism (N), Openness to Experience (O), Conscientiousness (C), and Agreeableness (A).
Extraversion (E). Carl Jung, the first to introduce extraversion, argued that a person's libido, or sexual energy can flow in one of two different directions-either outward toward the world or inward toward the self. For the extravert, the energy flows toward objects and people in the world, the opposite is the introvert where their energy flows toward the subjective world that lies within (McAdams 308). A person high in extraversion is high in gregariousness, assertiveness, activity, seeks excitement, and has positive emotions (McAdams 306). .
Jonathan was a basketball player, he had to be assertive in the game of basketball or he would not have been a good player. Jonathan seemed to be quite high in extraversion, in that he has a lot of the qualities that extraverts have. If Jung were to evaluate Jonathan he would probably say that his sexual energy is flowing out to the outside world in the form of his basketball playing. Jung would probably also say that since Takes Enemy's conscious and public life suggested extraversion then his hidden unconscious life plays itself out in introverted terms, and vice versa. Simply put, those who are extraverted in their behavior may be introverted in their dreams and unconscious life; people who are introverted in their behavior may be extraverted in their dreams and unconscious life. This contrast illustrates a kind of psychic compensation and balance in human personality-a theme that runs throughout Jung's thought (McAdams 308). .
From the beginning of his research program in the 1940's Eysenck argued that the roots of E lie in underlying biologically processes. Eysenck borrowed concepts from the great Russian physiologist Ivan Pavlov, who worked classical conditioning.
