Based on the 16 Myers Briggs Type Indicator personality types, this remarkable book does away with common misconceptions of what is normal. It explains why some people thrive on ambiguity while others need clarity; why some people are friendly and uninhibited while others are restrained and fastidious. Drawing on their experience as psychologists, career advisors, classroom teachers and organisation consultants, the authors 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 blindspots that lead to misunderstandings, and offer practical tips for communicating more effectively with others.
