This review is from: Please Understand Me: Character and Temperament Types (Paperback)
I am using this book as the basis for a personality experiment for my dissertation. So far, EVERYONE who has taken the questionnaire has been amazed at how accurately the personality descriptions have fitted them. I know there must be more than 16 different types of people in the world, some may argue that it oversimplifies the issue, but I feel it has provided the people I tested with useful insights about their character, which might help them to understand their behaviour.

A valuable resource,
By A Customer
This review is from: Please Understand Me: Character and Temperament Types (Paperback)
This book helps the reader understand why people behave the
way they do. It uses the Myers-Briggs type indicator to
define sixteen different personality types. It describes,
in detail, the sixteen different types. The reader may
take the test at the beginning of the book to discover his
or her own type. A person can be either an extrovert (E)
or an introvert (I), intuitive (N) or sensing (S), thinking
(T) or feeling (F), and judging (J) or perceiving (P). The
book emphasizes that no personality type is better than
another. This book suggests good professions for each type
of personality and tips for dealing with people of different
types.

Great expansion of MBTI,
By A Customer
This review is from: Please Understand Me: Character and Temperament Types (Paperback)
I first read this book after I had already familiarized myself with Isabel Briggs Myers' work. The constructs that Keirsey invented -- most notably, the temperament groups SP, NF, NT and SJ -- are a very helpful expansion of the MBTI theoretical base. I believe Keirsey's portrait of an ISTP is the finest summary I have ever read for that type. It fits my brother to a "T". I identify most strongly with the ISFP, and Keirsey's characterization of that type is surely the most flattering ever penned. Though some will not agree with Keirsey's speculations about the temperaments of long-dead historical figures, there is much to admire about this volume. I did feel that the book is quite verbose, and needed stronger editing, but this complaint didn't detract from my enjoyment of Please Understand Me. This book will help you figure out so many people in your life. Read it!
