About this ebook

THE BELOVED CLASSIC FOR UNDERSTANDING PERSONALITY TYPE.

Like a thumbprint, personality type provides an instant snapshot of a person's uniqueness. Drawing on concepts originated by Carl Jung, this book distinguishes four categories of personality styles and shows how these qualities determine the way you perceive the world and come to conclusions about what you've seen. It then explains what they mean for your success in school, at a job, in a career and in your personal relationships.

For more than 60 years, the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) tool has been the most widely used instrument in the world for determining personality type, and for more than 25 years, Gifts Differing has been the preeminent source for understanding it.

Ratings and reviews

A very, very important work. It's difficult for me to articulate its meaning and potential effects. If you are looking for deep understanding of MBTI types and cognitive functions, this is a great read. Charts/Tables were also available for me when I read it.

This isn't a rating of the book- it's a rating of the GOOGLE book. There are WAY too many missing images.

Would have been perfect if the majority of tables & graphs had not been removed due to copyright.
