Relating the Tarot to MBTI is a topic I've been interested in for a while now, so I'm always on the lookout for this sort of thing myself. A few weeks ago, I purchased _Discovering Your Self Through the Tarot_ by Rose Gwain:
http://www.amazon.com/Discovering-Y...4128/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1329167181&sr=8-1
Although I haven't yet read the entire book yet, I'll give a quick review of my impressions so far.
The positive:
-- She relates thinking, feeling, intuition, and sensation to the four traditional Tarot suits. Her primary theoretical framework is a superimposition of these four functions onto the court cards (either queen or king, for adults).
-- There's a court card quiz that you can take that will give you feedback on which function you identify with most strongly, and therefore which court card you identify with.
(N.b., To the critics of this kind of activity--I realize the potential trap of oversimplification involved in identifying oneself as, for example, a "king of pentacles," but as Gwain points out, it's important to keep in mind that each of us is a mixture of these functions, and personally, I think it *is* a mistake to take such a point of view too literally or to too much of an extreme. Rather than finishing the quiz and saying, "I'm a queen of cups," a more reasonable or useful conclusion might be, "I'm more comfortable with intuition, as personified by the queen of cups, than with some other functions, but I use them all. So, I can perhaps relate better to what is symbolized by the queen of cups, in terms of my overall personality or type, than to what is symbolized by other court cards.")
The negative:
-- This book doesn't deal only with function preference, but also the Qabalah. Of course, this isn't objectively a negative, but it is for *me*, given that I'm not really interested in Qabalah. To me, this makes the book a little too "busy;" I wish that she had instead focused exclusively on typology and treated this with a bit more depth.
The mixed:
-- I took the quiz, and although the amount of information it gives you is much less (i.e., only your order of preference of the four functions as opposed to a 4-letter type), my results mapped on fairly well to my MBTI. The only inconsistency: Pretty much every time I've ever taken the MBTI (and I've taken the full test a couple of times), Keirsey Temperament Sorter, or anything similar, my type tests as INTP. But, on Gwain's quiz, "intuition" was my strongest preference. This isn't *necessarily* an inconsistency, but the way Gwain discusses preference, secondary functions, extroversion-introversion, etc., according to her test, I'm more of an INTJ. (However, fwiw, my P preference has always been very slight, so...)
