It depends on context.
Trying to pigeonhole people is generally ill-conceived. But science is all about classification, and psychology, for better or worse, aims to be a hard science. It is what it is.
On the other hand, a disorganized person is truly a mess. He frustrates both himself and other people.
Jung referred to the Self as an organizing principle. In that sense, a person who is at the mercy of the unconscious does not know himself, i.e., lacks self-awareness, and may experience the archetypes as other people living in his head. It's what we might call multiple personality disorder.
