Summary: not worth the effort
Review: I had thought this book would be a tool for understanding differing personalities.It is awful! The personality types are given two-letter abbriviations.."JB" "JS" or the like. How would you like to be labled as "The JS type?" The book then pretends to know what each personality type will be the best at..accepting critism, playing music..for example. I can not identify anyone that I know in any of the categories. Furthermore, to do so is presumptive. The book attempts to put people in little boxes. It is not the truth and it is a waste of time. I cannot understand it being recommended by Bob Enyart. It has no Christian values nor anything else redeeming in it. cbevs in washington

Summary: Over whelming sense of comfort
Review: When I took the temperment test, then read what the initials meant, I could not believe the over whelming sense of comfort I found. Most of my life, I felt like the swan in the duck's home. I knew no one who seemed to know what I was "feeling." My personality type is one the smaller percentages in the human world; therefore, I finally found out I'm not "strange" or "crazy" as people who loved me often verbalized even in jest. A must reading for any one who is a misfit in today's work world, or problems with marraige, or raising children. As a Pediatric nurse, I have often recommended parents reading this book.

Summary: This book will keep you fascinated for hours.
Review: This book will keep you fascinated for hours, deciphering your own personality and all those around you. My boss had a copy and analyzed everyone's personality into great detail, I was so impressed with the book that I bought one for myself and started doing some in depth work myself. The explanations are incredible and lead you to learn a lot about yourself and the people around you.

Summary: Incredibly Right On!
Review: I took the test and it said that I was an INFP. It helped me understand everything about myself, and the other people around me. I think that this was an awsome book, and I am definetely planning on getting Please Understand Me II.

Summary: Same results years later...
Review: A friend ask me to take this test..I thought I remembered having already done it...I told him I think I am ENFJ. I took the test again and came out ENFJ...the description is exactly how I am. Obviously I haven't changed in the past seven years...It really gives you something to think about and it was a great review..I plan to get Please Understand Me II...

Summary: I'm not a lunatic, I'm just a normal INFP!
Review: Recommended to me by my therapist, this book blew me away when I read the profile of my character and temperament types. There in black and white were secret thoughts and imaginings that I had never told anyone! How could they know those things? And through reading those things, I healed a lot of wounds from half a life spent being ashamed because I was not like everybody else. Through this book I learned that I am not defective, but I am just a normal INFP! If only someone had told me these things when I was a child! Every one who tries to be in a relationship or parent a child should read this book.

Summary: Easy to use and amazingly accurate
Review: I'm a sucker for "personality type" quizzes, but this is a winner. The test went quickly, and was so astonishingly accurate about me that I found myself reading everything else I could get my hands on about the Myers-Briggs theory of personality types. Later I took the full test and had it interpreted by a qualified professional -- and the results were exactly what I discovered from the self-test in this book. The Myers-Briggs is a great tool for understanding yourself and others, and, on the basis of my experience and my reading, I'd recommend this book as the best place to get started.

Summary: Excellent exercise to learn about yourself and others.
Review: "Please Understand Me" is an excellent book that walks you through your personal characteristics. Clearly expresses types of jobs and relationships you tend to choose and explains why. An excellent way to learn about yourself, your friends and your family. This knowledge is effective in finding solutions to challenges in work groups and within a household.

Summary: An incredibly useful book!
Review: This is a great book. After becoming familiar with the different ways in which people naturally perceive their environment and make decisions, I see people in a totally different light. There is no such thing as a "normal" person!
Rating:
Summary: This book defined my personality to a tee!
Review: After filling out the personality quiz and looking up the corresponding personality type, I almost fell out of my chair. This described me to a tee! You will find yourself trying to determine what personality type fits your friends and spouse. I strongly recommend this book.
