Three major components influence extraverted thought production:
1) Objective data transmitted by sense-perception
2) Subjective sources
3) Unconscious sources
Making judgements : For the extraverted the criterion by which
he judges things is supplied by external conditions.
Speaking of ideas, the culturally accepted and agreed upon, is often what he sees as
valid.
Concepts transmitted through tradition, socialization, or observable facts form the basis of the
metric of extraverted judgement.
The flipside would be a judgement based on a subjective metric.
Standards for the way he ought to live, and for things he ought to believe are put forth
by the person himself.
The pollar opposite of extraverted judgement.
The extraverted internalizes the collectively, socially accepted.
He doesn't put effort in devising his own views but selects the ideals most suitable
for him from outside sources.
Anything that goes against these ideals is seen as impractical.
"So in judging whether a particular thinking is extraverted or not we must first ask: by
what criterion does it judge does it come from outside, or is its origin subjective?"
An example would be someone who believes that the sky is blue due to a habitual contact
with objective proof, that the sky is blue in fact.
Another who knows that the sky is blue but chooses to believe in his subjective imagination,
that blue is just a word, and that although the sky is blue he thinks it has no color.
The first chose to believe what is agreed upon based on evidence from the external,
the second chooses to believe in his own fantasies, subjective views.
"A further criterion is the direction the thinking takes in drawing conclusions---whether
it is principally directed outwards or not."
"We question the course or pattern the thoughts will take ; whether from the objective data,
the thinking is that of abstracting, or that of concretizing."
We could say the extraverted thinking pattern is dominated by logic and looking at the world
as mechanical a process possible.
It is void of fantastical daydreaming, rather analytical.
"This is an object infront of me.
These are the characteristics of the object.
Its purpose is for so and so activity", such is a description of the pattern of extraverted
thoughts.
There is no going beyond the thing, sticking personal expectations to it, colouring it
with what one thinks of it.
In this respect, extraverted thinking is useful in making unbiased deductions and objective
conclusions about the real world.
An example is the practical thinking of the business man, the engineer, or the scientist
which involves observation of external phenomena, statistical data, deriving conclusions, and
implementing corrections for improvement.
A thought pattern merely based on connecting the dots of what is actually available infront
of us, completely void of phylosophical jargon.
Also, this thought pattern must end up with objective conclusions just like it started
from concrete data.
"Even when my thinking is preoccupied with concrete things and could be described as
extraverted to that extent, the direction it will take still remains an essential characteristic
and an open question�namely, whether or not in its further course it leads back again
to objective data, external facts, or generally accepted ideas."
In concern of a philosopher, he deals with ideas unlike the physicist and so he is more
prone to color his conclusions with subjective emotions and assumptions, or to speak of metaphisics
and the unseen, like value systems or ideals; concepts of a fickle nature.
However, if he begins abstracting from the observable, like the fact that the sun is
to shine every day, then deduces an objective truth or practical advice from that, he will
have been considered to have entertained an extraverted, objective train of thought; given
that his invention has provided practical value.
Extraverted thinking features an outer-directedness.
But there is still a subject, a person from which the thinking emerges, and no matter
how outwardly projected his thoughts are, the starting point is always subjective, but
its final product nevertheless will be an object-related induction.
