Is the Golden based solely on the Jungian types?

The Golden is a universal personality tool that combines five of the most popular personality theories more widely known and accepted, including five factors, trait, temperament, adaptation/general stress and psychological type theory of Jung, in a complete model easily understandable. These theories are collected in the form of five global scales and 36 sub-scales or facets of the Golden.
