More About the Author
Product Description
Product Description
Utilizing Jung's model of personality type and grounded in sixty years of personality studies, I'm Not Crazy, I'm Just Not You illustrates basic differences in the ways people read and respond to the same situations. Authors Roger Pearman and Sarah Albritton apply the concepts of personality type to everyday situations - working, loving, parenting, and communicating with friends and colleagues. They show how our personality preferences produce interpersonal blind spots that lead to misunderstandings, and they offer practical tips for communicating more effectively with others. Much more than a basic introduction to the fundamentals of personality, this volume examines the powerful influence of personality type on adult development, discusses the implications of personality style in our communication pathways, and explains how different types are likely to experience and value differences. This New Edition also includes new chapters on cross-cultural and cross-generational uses, emotional intelligence enrichment and personal effectiveness with managing change, stress, conflict, health, and careers.

I've known my MBTI for many years, so what? It wasn't until I read this book that I understood all the implications. The book goes beyond just explaining your personality type, but actually provides useful information regarding how to deal with each. Information is displayed in great succinct charts covering such aspects as: expression of attitudes, motivators, inner tensions, development recommendations, how the type gathers/absorbs information, valued relationship qualities, as well as hot buttons, prejudices, and other issues. I purchased two copies, one to keep and one to distribute among my team.

I first encountered Myers-Briggs 15 years ago via managament training (age 21) and "Individual Excellence" by Ralph Lewis and Phil Lowe. It had been lurking somewhere at the back of my mind all this time until I encountered this book by chance at work.
With what I had learned about life in the intevening 15 years, this book was a revelation revealing to me the full power and richness of the Meyers-Briggs / Jung model.
I can fully understand the reviewers who found this book to be not so good (for them). I found it to be a challenging read at times, and read some sections as many as four or five times to try to understand what was being explained. (I hold a 2.1 Honours Degree in Chemistry from Cambridge University.....)
Personally I would recommend the Lewis / Lowe book as a starter, leave it for a few years and "experience life", and then buy, beg or borrow this book - you won't regret it.

Instead of just telling you that the MBTI exists and providing unsubstantiated examples, this book explains the theories behind type classification, giving you the background necessary to make justifications about the role it should play in your life. Rather than encouraging the use of type theory to put people in categories, "I'm Not Crazy..." provides the opporunity for you to broaden your understanding of the motivations behind the thoughts and actions of those that are close to you.

Very misleading title!
I bought a copy of this book in response to the reviews on this website. Whilst it describes the Myers-Briggs personality types in detail, at times I found it confusing and... Read more
