English

Subject field(s)
  • Petrography
  • Iron and Manganese Mining
DEF

[A] stratigraphic unit of layered, bedded, or laminated rocks of all ages that contains 15 per cent or more iron, in which the iron minerals are commonly interbanded with quartz, chert or carbonate and where the banded structure of the ferruginous rocks conforms in pattern and attitude with the adjacent sedimentary, volcanic, or metasedimentary rocks.

CONT

The supracrustal rocks include siltstone, sandstone, quartzite, shale, phyllite, dolomite, iron-formation, and pillowed basalts.

PHR

Banded iron formation.

OBS

L'expression «formation de fer» (ou formation ferrifère) désigne des unités stratigraphiques de roches stratifiées ou laminées de tous âges contenant au moins 15 % de fer, dans lesquelles les minéraux de fer sont généralement interstratifiés avec du quartz, du chert ou des carbonates.

Record 4 1990-02-07

English

Subject field(s)
  • Psychometry and Psychotechnology
DEF

A questionnaire designed to measure introversion-extroversion and the thinking, feeling, sensing, and intuiting modes of Jung.

CONT

In describing personality Jung assumes that both attitudes and all four functions are part of the inherent endowment of all human beings.... An individual would then have as descriptors of personality three identifying features, a dominant attitude, a first function and an auxiliary function. The general schema that emerges is a sixteen category typology. The behavioral and imaginal characteristics of each type are elaborated in the work of Isabel Briggs-Meyers(1962) whose Type-Indicator represents the most sophisticated attempt to measure individual type structure.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Psychométrie et psychotechnique
OBS

Extraversion-introversion. Termes utilisés depuis plus de cent ans et qui désignent des types de personnalité plus ou moins tournés vers le monde extérieur ou vers leur monde intérieur. Ils sont devenus familiers grâce aux travaux de psychiatre suisse Carl Gustav Jung. Pour lui, ils font partie d'un schème très complexe comprenant les quatre aspects de la personnalité : pensée, sentiment, sensation, et intuition, dont chacun peut être extraverti ou introverti, ce qui donne huit types en tout.
