Product Description
Product Description
This new edition of this fascinating and revealing book offers a beginner's guide to the 'Myers-Briggs Type Indicator', showing how your personality type and temperament affects all aspects of your life and relationships with others. The MBTI can help you discover why you think and behave in certain ways, and why other people respond to you as they do. It can help you identify your major strengths - what makes you do some things better than others - and it can help you make more of those aspects of your personality that may be lying dormant and under-developed. The MBTI can be helpful in improving all kinds of relationships - whether you're at home with your family, at work with your colleagues, or perhaps on a course studying for an exam. It can also be helpful in understanding the life of the Church; why people have different ways of responding to God, both emotionally and intellectually; why some are attracted to a particular kind of church; and why some prefer to pray in one way and not in others. In all these areas of life, the MBTI has proved itself an invaluable means of achieving a deeper self-understanding. It can also lead to a greater sense of self-worth and a richer and more realistic appreciation of other people. 'A delightful introduction to my mother's work'. Peter Briggs Myers.

Do not be put off by the fact that this is published by SPCK. Although the author is a man of the church he does not push religion at all. It is an interesting and easy to read book on Myers Briggs type indicators and how you can use them to understand your own and others behaviour. If you have ever completed a Myer Briggs test you will have some idea of what they mean but this publication goes into a lot more detail on how to use knowledge of the different types to understand peoples behaviour. It also explains how some types are dominant over others so people will not always act in a certain way but may respond to other types in different ways.A fascinating book.

I have just received this book as a present and was looking forward to reading it, having seen the reviews on here. I was surprised to find that most of it seems to have been lifted from other books (at times, almost word for word). If you have already got Myers' 'Gifts Differing' and Kroeger's 'Type Talk', much of this book will be very familiar to you. If you haven't read them, this could be a useful summary of MBTI and its applications.

Enthralling Intro to MBTI
25 Oct 1997
Format:Paperback
Although only one amongst a number of introductory works on the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI), _Knowing Me, Knowing You_ has the distinction of being one of the most readable and enjoyable. To anyone interested in personality psychology it would be next to impossible to lay this book down without finishing it cover to cover. The book is simply too enthralling and pleasurable to read.
While Isabel Myers, developer of the MBTI, has elucidated her theory in _Gifts Differing_, this work is far better organized--a boon for those without or with little understanding of the MBTI. Learning about the MBTI thus becomes not painless, but totally addicting.
Almost as a bonus, the last chapters provide insights on the connection between personality and religious inclinations, as well as varying attitudes towards the Christmas holidays.
