Summary: A simple, fun book
Review: Although this book does not cover Myers-Brigg/Keirsey-based personality typing with the depth of "Please Understand Me" or "Personality Type: An Owner's Manual" (both very good books), it's an excellent quick and easy resource on the 4 basic types and the 16 specific types. Besides character-specific traits, the author offers tips on getting along with each type, as well as well as tips for each type on getting along with other types (make sense? ;). I do think the self assessment in the front could be a bit more comprehensive, but this book was obviously not written to be the definitive information source on Myers-Brigg, so I think that's excusable. When introducing MB/K to others, this is the book I reach for - it's easy to understand and appealing to read.

Summary: Excellent, organized, and easy read
Review: Highly recommend you read this book if you are new to the topic. The author - it seems took into account the different types of people personalities while writing this book. It contains both information in some detail, as well as bulletized nuggets - for quickly grasping the topic. Another good thing the author did is to place definitions of the categories at numerous places so the reader does not lose time flipping pages to find what a particular category means. I found it very enjoyable and informative, and will make it a required read for all of my associates.

Summary: Excellent Resource
Review: I am a Myers-Briggs facilitator, teaching people how to apply personality type to their lives. I have several reference books available for my clients/students. By far, this book is the most popular because it is very easy to read. It has cartoons that communicate concepts very easily. This book also gives specific information on realationships and careers -- most of my clients are most interested in learning about. Several clients have purchased their own copies of this book for their own reference.

Summary: It knows me better than I know myself...
Review: I really enjoyed this book, and I think that the personality types it came up with for me and my family were very accurate. The book starts out with a short description of the Myers-Briggs system, then moves on to four simple personality tests that will each give you a letter in your four-letter "personality code". For example, the first test is extraverting vs. introverting. If you come out an introvert, you'll have an I as your first letter, and if you come out an extrovert, you'll have an E as your first letter. After you find out the four letters of your code, you can find your personality type at the end of the book, where it explains what your type is like, and gives you tips on getting along with the other types. This is a comprehensive guide that helps you to learn more about yourself and your family and friends.

Summary: Would've been higher if I hadn't read other books on MBTI
Review: This book is a great introduction to typology. It's simple and it gives useful information. I just wish it have given more information. The character descriptions were spare, and their were way too many cartoons and too much white space. The problem I had is there was nothing new in it. If this is the firt book you've ever read on the subject you'll probably love it. Otherwise, go for something with a little more depth. For me, I wasted my money. I'll be giving it away soon.

Summary: Type Away!
Review: This book is based on the Myers-Briggs tests taken by many people in all walks of life, recently very big in business circles and universities. Carl Jung was influential in the development of the original idea for personality tests. As far as accuracy goes I would dare to say this book gets pretty darn close to what our core personality really is. If you answer the questions as honestly as possible the book will describe you almost in a nutshell by the time you finish. Very interesting! Once you figure out what anagram you fall under this book will also offer advice for successful solutions to work, relationship and leisure problems based on personality type. I highly reccommend trying this test at least once, it's fun, revealing and informative. The suggestions may also provide a bit of insight into a better fitting career and/or relationship as well....although nothing is set in stone. Just bring a pencil, an open mind and a honest heart and who knows what you will discover.

Summary: This book is great - it's fun, light and very informative
Review: This book is great for the lay person to help understand the Myers Briggs temperment typing. I've read Kiersey Bates and this book was much better at giving me an appreciation and understanding of the different types. I learned so much from the great cartoons - the types come alive through the cartoons. The types are described so well that I use this book as a reference to help me in my relationships with my family members, friends and co-workers. It's a light, fun, easy to understand description of the Myers Briggs system of temperment typing.

Summary: Fun Book for Beginners
Review: This book is more fluff than 'formative. As a teacher, I use it to help the students in my class that find MBTI interesting to find out more about themselves (the idealists in all of us). Its cute cartoons and easy to read questions / explanations make this the perfect book for the novice. If you are a more advanced "user" of personality typing your money would be better spent on other texts. All in all, this book is middle of the road. If you're looking for some nice bedtime reading or just want to see what all the Myers-Briggs stuff is about then this book is for you, otherwise move along! Regards
