This paper falls into two parts. In the first part the author considers Jung's extravert and introvert types with reference to artistic production, heredity and racial distribution. With regard to art, following suggestions made by Thornton and Gordon, such painters as Rubens, Delacroix and Signac are compared with Poussin, Ingres and Marchand respectively, the former group as representing predominantly extravert, the latter predominantly
introvert characteristics. Corresponding differences, it is suggested, are revealed by a comparison of the carvings of the west coast of Africa with those of some central African tribes. On the biological side some (admittedly insufficient) data suggest that inheritance of psychological type may correlate with inheritance of certain physical characters. Racially it appears probable that most savages tend to be more extravert than civilized peoples. Among these latter there are important inter-racial differences; thus among European races (following McDougall and Lenz) the Nordic is more introvert than the Mediterranean, while among Asiatic races the Chinese and the Hindus are more introvert than the Japanese. In these considerations no account is taken of the sub-groups of the introvert and extravert types distinguished by Jung in his last work on this subject.
In the second part of the paper there is reported a preliminary study of the dreams of non-European races. In general such scanty data as are at present available point to the operation in all cases of the same essential dream mechanisms as in Europeans. It appears, moreover, that dreams are everywhere looked upon as requiring some sort of explanation or analysis before their meaning can be understood. Among the people investigated this explanation was given either in more or less conventional terms (often by opposites) or by association, i.e. 'by an elementary self-conducted analysis'. The 'typical' dreams of Europeans are also of frequent occurrence, and all ra
