Understanding Yourself and Others, An Introduction to Temperament - 2.0

Rating:
Summary: Excellent Revision...
Review: Dr. Berens already effective Introduction to Temperament booklet has become an even more useful resource for understanding the four temperaments. An expanded explanation of the dimensions of each temperament (concrete - abstract; affiliative-pragmatic; and motive-structure) gives the reader a more complete understanding of why someone's temperament can look different. A one-page look at Abraham Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs to include the temperament "core needs", as Dr. Berens calls them, sheds some interesting light on the subject of motivation and temperament. I was also pleased to see more resources, in the form of individual exercises, for individuals to practice the information they learn from this booklet. As a career counselor, I use this booklet to help individuals understand their motivation for working but I can see numerous applications to business and education. The size makes it an easy read and at for the price I would recommend that everyone using this personality theory have this booklet.
