Jung's theory of psychological type, as published in his 1921 book, was not tested through controlled scientific studies.
Jung's methods primarily included clinical observation, introspection and anecdote—methods that are largely regarded as inconclusive by the modern field of psychology.
Jung's type theory introduced a sequence of four cognitive functions (thinking, feeling, sensing, and intuition), each having one of two orientations (extraverted or introverted), for a total of eight functions.
The Myers-Briggs theory is based on these eight functions, although with some differences in expression (see Differences from Jung above).
However, neither the Myers-Briggs nor the Jungian models offer any scientific, experimental proof to support the existence, the sequence, the orientation, or the manifestation of these functions.
