 Fascinating and useful November 23, 2001

I loved this book. I read it after Lifetypes. It takes the information on type and applies it to the workplace. I found the book helped me get a handle on why I do things the way I do, and it gave me insight into some of my colleagues. The writing is clear, and the descriptions are sufficiently detailed. The author covers all the relevant workplace topics, such as time management, problem solving, communication, and conflict resolution. The descriptions of the different types were really useful even if you've read other books on Type.

I'm an ISFJ. If you work in cooperate America, perhaps you have heard someone say this of themselves? Oh yes, your name and personality have now been condensed into 4 letters.This is a fun book to casually read - like your horoscope in the newspaper. Beware though - MBTI zealots are everywhere. I have actually known people who have not gotten jobs based on their "type" Maybe George Orwell was correct?
a bit gimmicky for my taste September 16, 2000

Granted there are many good insights within the pages of this book. But if you made it to where you are in life and you never realized that people in organizations have many different learning styles, you must be a bit slow on the uptake. The authors of this book give us one way to understand and quantify how people are different. An "extrovert" might throw out 10 ideas, but only mean one of them to be serious, while an "introvert" might keep an idea to himself rather than risk ridicule. No doubt the seminars they do with companies make workers and leaders more aware of how others respond around them and that is of course a good thing. Though I found the book enjoyable reading, oftentimes it seemed too generalized or overcategorized. In short, it certainly doesn't hurt to acknowledge that that are many different types in the workplace, but you don't need to study the 16 combinations to really make yourself that much more of an expert about it. This being said, the authors do offer lots of helpful advice for how to deal with those who are very opposite to your type.

David Keisey's book is a mult-million best seller for over 20 years. These descriptions do not have as nearly as much depth. David portrays the types from a much better perspective. I understand that this is work application but Keirsey's are much better.
Parts were very good, and parts were not so good April 28, 1999

Much of the information was useful, and some of the profiles were quite good, but some of the profiles were off.
