Gifts Differing, Understanding Personality Types

Like a thumbprint, personality type provides an instant snapshot of a person's unique qualities. Drawing on concepts developed by Carl Jung, the Myers Briggs Type Indicator is one of the most successful and widely used personality assessments ever developed. Gifts Differing is the definitive text on this personality assessment tool. It describes the ground breaking insights embodied in the MBTI and explains its many practical applications. The MBTI distinguishes four categories of personality style and shows how the combinations of these qualities determine the way you perceive the world and come to conclusions about what you've experienced. The book then explains what your personality type means for your success at school, on the job, in your career and in personal relationships.
