This is the best Myers-Briggs personality book that I've found for understanding OTHERS better and learning to "speak their language" for clear communication and stronger relationships. Apr 01, Mercedes rated it it was amazing. I did not expect this book to be as good as it was. He has a way of putting it in laypersons terms, without it becoming "fluff," like the title would indicate it to be. Has a lot of good content, examples, well read and studied author here.
Like I said, from the title, I would not have read it as anything more than a parlor game, but it's stout.!

This book was really interesting and helpful. I ate it up, slowly for greater retention. It's based on the premise that everyone has a type, out of the 16 Myers Briggs personality types, and that people can have difficulty relating to and communicating with people of other types. They call that part Spe This book was really interesting and helpful. They call that part SpeedReaching, and the recognition part SpeedReading. I find myself trying to figure out everyone I encounter now, and it really does help to understand why they do so many of the things they do.
It's especially helpful in the workplace, learning how to communicate with boss and coworkers more effectively, in a way that each of them will understand better.
Apr 13, Dewey Norton rated it did not like it. There was no need for this book. Most of the material was covered with much better insight several years earlier by Benfari. The only new insights here are some techniques for recognizing personality types. Their emphasis is on the external manifestations of personality type.
There is considerable confusion in this book as the authors do not understand the difference between personality type and psychological needs, which they mistakenly fuse, alas and alack much of their advice in identifying t There was no need for this book. There is considerable confusion in this book as the authors do not understand the difference between personality type and psychological needs, which they mistakenly fuse, alas and alack much of their advice in identifying the personality type of an individual is misleading.
The comparative lack of reference to psychology literatures leaves me with the conclusion that this is a pop psychology book and not a serious contribution to science.
Jan 19, Jed rated it liked it. This book was given to me as a gift because I'm nuts about Myers-Brigs typologies. However, to me, it's proven useful in knowing how to frame my interactions with certain people in order to increases my chances of speaking in way that clicks with them.
I'm such an ENFJ. Read the book. Feb 18, Bella rated it liked it Shelves: non-fiction. I will continue to use this a resource for typology. I especially like the breakdown of types into the framework of Traditionalists, Experiencers, Conceptualizers, and Idealists. Apr 27, Chandler rated it it was amazing. I really enjoyed this book's description of three different tools that are useful in understanding and communicating with others. I had already figured out 2 of the 3 tools, but it was helpful to have those validated and to be presented a 3rd tool which I had not yet considered.
I have already begun to type people more quickly and accurately, especially those that beforehand I had trouble placing. Jul 29, Kenny rated it really liked it. The book presents them in a very clear and understandable way. And now I feel like I have a very clear understanding of what the preferences are, when people are exhibiting them, and how to understand where they're coming from. The book also goes into detail about the characteristics of each of the 16 possible profiles and groups them into four categories based on what they're like at the core.
If you've never read much about the MBTI it's definitely worth reading even if it's examples are very work focused. Feb 07, Rebecca rated it it was amazing. This is a wonderful book about personality types that really boils it down to basics.
A very user friendly book that has made a real difference in how I understand people. Feb 28, Russell rated it liked it. My main point in reading this book was to learn more about myself. It does a great job of that! Spending time memorizing every little detail about every little type or combination isn't my bag though. I'm sure I soaked up some of it through osmosis, but I don't think I used the book for its intended purpose. I like to think it helped me a bit in understanding others.
Jan 13, G. Burrow rated it really liked it Shelves: nonfiction. Super interesting. Great fun to read the personality descriptions and think, "Hey, that's my sister", or "Wow, so that's why my friend takes so long to answer my questions", or "Do people like this actually exist? Feb 20, Helen rated it really liked it. Leaned about reading people's behaviors. It allowed me to understand why it is important to look at the "little" clues. This has allowed me to be more effective in my career and foster better relationships.
