Carl Jung: the founder of analytical psychology

He identified two people within himself, calling them No. 1 and No. 2.
No. 1 was the child of his parents and times. No. 2 was a timeless individual with no definable character. Later, his thoughts on No. 1 and No. 2 provided the basis for his ideas on ego and self.

Jung published a book in 1921 where he coined and discussed the two terms.
He wrote that introverts gained their energy from self-dialogue and protect themselves against external claims on their energy with shyness or other means. Extroverts look outward for their energy. But Jung didn't think there was such a thing as a pure introvert or extrovert.
