This study briefly reviewed and summarized published studies related to the Sasang typology in order to investigate the common psychological characteristics in each type and suggest conceptual and methodological implications for future research. A total of 44 articles written in Korean between 1990 and 2014, and that used objective measures of personality, were selected from two Korean database for this study. The number of publications, type of scale used, and distribution of each Sasang type were reviewed and summarized. From these works, it was found that there was significant common ground between the classification of Sasang types, which is rooted in Eastern concepts, and the psychological features and types revealed by objective personality measures used in Western psychology. On the basis of these findings, the degree of overlap between Eastern and Western personality typologies was highlighted, and further considerations for developing a more valid and objective classification method, and the limitations of the existing searching method and scope were discussed.
本研究简要回顾并总结了与四象人类型学相关的已发表研究，以探究每种类型的共同心理特征，并为未来研究提出概念和方法上的启示。本研究从两个韩国数据库中选取了1990年至2014年间用韩语撰写的、共44篇使用人格客观测量方法的文章。对出版物数量、所使用量表的类型以及每种四象人类型的分布进行了回顾和总结。从这些研究中发现，源于东方概念的四象人类型分类与西方心理学中使用的客观人格测量所揭示的心理特征和类型之间存在显著的共同点。基于这些发现，强调了东西方人格类型学之间的重叠程度，并讨论了开发更有效和客观分类方法的进一步考量，以及现有搜索方法和范围的局限性。
