II. THE CONSEQUENCES OF ASSIMILATION OF THE UNCONSCIOUS 449

First result is increased self-consciousness--May lead to a sense of God-Almightiness in one type, or to overwhelming self-depreciation in the other--A result of ascribing to oneself qualities or vices that do not belong individually but collectively--The collective pysche divided into collective mind and collective soul--The collective contains the "parties inférieures" of Janet; the conscious and personal unconscious contains the "parties supérieures"--Incorporation of the impersonal unconscious leads to a dissolution of the pairs of opposites--As seen in neurotic, who combines megalomania and sense of inferiority in extreme degree--Primitive man possesses the collective vices and virtues in an undifferentiated way--Mental conflict only begins with conscious personal development--Desire to be good brings about repression of the bad--Collective view-point, though necessary, is dangerous to individuality--Collective psyche is the result of psychological differentiation of the gregarious instincts--Dangers of identification with collective psyche--Recognition of the different psychology of the types a safeguard, promoting a proper respect for individuality of the opposite type--Individuation hampered by man's suggestibility and tendency to imitation.
