Discover Your Secret Self
Take the Myers-Briggs test, score it, and find your type. Each of the 16 types is described in a separate chapter at the end of the book. You’ll be surprised at the things you learn about yourself.
You’ll discover your special gifts are and how to make the most of them. You’ll find out how to handle relationships better, make smarter decisions, and develop a more positive attitude toward situations that used to challenge you.
Discover What Makes Other People Tick
Just as important, you’ll discover what makes other people tick. In the chapters describing the 16 types, you’ll find people you know. If they’re loved ones, you’ll find ways to get the best from your relationships. If they’re difficult, you’ll learn how to handle them without confrontation.
Conflicts with others can’t always be avoided, especially when two personality types are completely different. Let’s say you’re an INFP—an introvert who relies on hunches and insights, makes decisions on the basis of personal values, and is easy-going. The opposite type—ESTJ—may consider your introversion boring, your intuition strange, your feelings overdone, and your casual approach to appointments frustrating. You may find ESTJs’ tireless pursuit of socializing tiresome, their dependence on sensing functions unimaginative, their thinking cold and unfeeling, and their judging attitude demanding. Can you ever learn to get along with each other? You may not become best friends, but least you can minimize needless conflicts by understanding each other’s personality type.
