Amazon.com Review The Myers-Briggs Type Indicator temperament test is given annually to millions of people, mainly business students and job applicants. But what good does it do, short of giving you a catchy-sounding, four-letter abbreviation (ENTJ, ISFP) that you can sometimes use to break the ice at cocktail parties? The aim of this book is to help you apply your knowledge to the benefit of both your work and love life--and to teach you how to prevent personality clashes by slightly adjusting your behavior around others, once you ascertain which "type" they fall under. The four areas covered by Myers-Briggs are how you relate to the world (Extraverting or Introverting); how you take in information (Sensing or iNtuiting); how you make decisions (Thinking or Feeling); and how you manage your life (by Judging or Perceiving). If you don't already know your profile, take the fun and quick 20-question quizzes for each of the four categories. (Do you dislike routine and repetition? Do you prefer to finish one project before starting another, or does that not matter to you? Do people seek you out for warmth and nurturing?) You're then given tons of tips for getting along in this world. ESFPs are warned that they should not get involved in too many activities, lest they forget their responsibilities. INTJs need to learn to be more flexible, and are sometimes best off working for themselves. If you're dating someone who's an NF, "give them cards, gifts, compliments, hugs, adoration, and other forms of loving attention"; they enjoy romance and need this kind of doting. There's also fascinating information about which functions are dominant in each of the 16 types, and how they're broken out by percentages, population-wide.
Product Description The Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) is the most widely used psychological indicator in the world. Millions of people take the test annually. Now a family therapist explains this fascinating system of ideas to the public in a way that is entertaining and easy to absorb. Based on the work of Carl Jung, the MBTI is a system that discusses people's individual preferences on four basic scales: how they relate to the world, take in information, make decisions, and manage their lives. Renee Baron takes on the complexity of the sixteen personality types and makes them accessible so the general reader can comprehend them, find their own type, and use the knowledge to enrich their own lives. She presents information about individual strengths and weaknesses along with suggestions for personal growth and awareness. Insightful, helpful, and encouraging, What Type Am I? is the only user-friendly guide to the MBTI--and an eminently useful step in helping individuals appreciate, and apply their strength, to work, love, and life. Baron has co-authored two bestselling books: Are You My Type, Am I Yours and The Eneagram Made Easy

An extension of Myers-Briggs October 16, 2008 David Abrahamson (Vancouver, BC Canada) 0 out of 1 found this review helpful
I'm not really ready to provide a review of this work, so I'll describe instead the intended application. Business owners occasionally want to examine what aspects of their personality contribute to their work. Myers-Briggs typologies have received considerable interest from the public and the Enneagram is a more contemporary extension of this work. I find surprisingly little research and statistical work on Myers-Briggs and have reservations about the utility of the work beyond a kind of face validity. That said, this text provides a readable overview of the typologies and may be a useful reference for those who wish to assess their entrepreneurial path.
Great June 20, 2008 Ballard School Dist Employee (Huxley, IA USA) Recieved item on time, right when we were told it would arrive. Book in very good condition.
Cartoons not legible on Kindle May 12, 2008 Wendy Wingfield I would like to see this book in another format. From the reviews, the cartoons are an integral part of the book. Even with changing text sizes, the cartoons are not ledgible.
Great starter for 10 March 19, 2007 K. Bailey (United Kingdom) 2 out of 2 found this review helpful
This is a great book if you are just starting out on your understanding of personality type and myers briggs. It gives you enough detail to provide you with understanding but doesn't overwhelm you with talk of the more advanced applications of the theory. This would have got 5 stars if I had read it a couple of years ago!
Very simple and helpful March 13, 2007 Lisa Doyle (Waukesha, WI) 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
The myers briggs info here is very simplified. There are a number of pages to give you a perspnality test and get you on the way to better understanding what "type" you are. Helpful info but also get other books to give you insight as to the "type" breakdowns.
