Please Understand Me: Character & Temperament Types

About this title: Professor Keirsey is a long time clinical psychologist of the gestalt-field systems school. After 30 years of treating hundreds of teaching, parenting, marriage, and management problems, Dr. Keirsey now challenges the reader to "Abondon the Pygmalion Project", that endless and fruitless attempt to change the Other into a carbon copy of Oneself.

"As an INFJ it wasn't until I read this book that I finally felt like someone understood me. Introverts have a difficult time in our extroverted world. Many don't believe I'm an introvert as I display as extrovert - learned behavior - and this book made me cry.

I loved, loved, loved this book."

"The follow-up, Please Understand Me II, is the big seller, but this one is almost the same thing. I first read it in high school and still think in terms of extra/introvert, sensing/intuiting, thinking/feeling, scheduling/perceiving.
My particular temperament (INFJ) is one of those who is naturally interested in this stuff, so there's only so much I can say. But it is PROFOUNDLY SATISFYING (especially after a rough time) to look up your own profile and that of others around you and figure out why you are the way you are. It's not that the world is stacked against you, it's just that there are areas where you shine and areas where you need to work to make yourself shine. You'll be exclaiming, "It's SO TRUE!!" over and over again.
I recommend it to everyone on the planet - even if you only look at your own combination of drives and tendencies, you'll have a much more comprehensive understanding of the smaller society in which you live."

"This book is a primer for the Myers Briggs test. By understanding yourself, you can avoid the Pygmalion trap and start appreciating others for who they are.

If you like this book, you might also be interested in other ways to use the Myers Briggs test."
