What is the difference between Jungian and Neo-Jungian?

I thought of making this post as I thought that some parts of this community get them mixed up when they shouldn't since it could cover some of the other "good" parts in Jung and Neo-Jungian concepts that are better seen and exemplified on their own. Without further ado, here are the main differences:

NOTABLE AUTHORS

  • Classic Jungian: Carl Jung, Marie Louise von Franz, J.H van der hoop
  • Neo-Jungian: Isabel Briggs Myers, Michael Pierce, Naomi Quenk

NOTABLE SYSTEM

  • Classic Jungian: Jungian Psychological Types
  • Neo-Jungian: MBTI, Cognitive Functions

NOTABLE SITES

  • Classic Jungian: Watchword Test
  • Neo-Jungian: IDRlabs

VIEW ON THE UNCONSCIOUS/INFERIOR FUNCTION

  • Classic Jungian: Archaic and takes a lot of energy to develop
  • Neo-Jungian: Aspiration function and develops at late adult years

PURPOSE

  • Classic Jungian: Individuation
  • Neo-Jungian: Typing and workplace

VIEW ON TYPE CHANGES

  • Classic Jungian: Types can change and are not static
  • Neo-Jungian: Types cannot change and are static

FUNCTIONS AND TYPES

  • Classic Jungian: More focus on the mind
  • Neo-Jungian: Sheds light on behavior

STACKS

  • Classic Jungian: EEII/IIEE
  • Neo-Jungian: IEIE/EIEI and/or EEII/IIEE

FAVORED MATERIAL

  • Classic Jungian: Psychological Types, Man and His Symbols
  • Neo-Jungian: Gifts Differing, MBTI Manual

Overall the main difference here is that, Classic Jungian typology brings more importance to the philosophical side, while may be far from concrete, is best in terms of mysticism and when tackling individuation processes as the types are dynamic. By practical application Neo-Jungian concepts take the cake but for philosophical purposes I would suggest Classical Jungian. Classical Jungian is more deeper in terms of their types and offers a lot of interesting concepts such as synchronicity and the collective unconscious however Neo-Jungian is more direct to the point and literal in their statements.
