How to use "Contrariness" in context?
Contrariness is a personality characteristic characterized by a lack of conformity to social norms. Individuals who are Contrarious tend to congregate with like-minded individuals and resist societal pressures to conform. The term "contrariness" was first used by British psychologist Carl Jung in his essay, "The Psychological Types." Jung believed that individuals with the questing or introverted pole of the Psychological Type were particularly disposed to being contrarian. Individuals with the grounded or extraverted pole of the Psychological Type were more likely to conform.
