Book Reviews of Lifetypes
Book Review: Nice Introduction to Temperaments and Personality Types
Summary: 5 Stars
In "LifeTypes," Hirsh & Kummerow provide a well laid-out and thoroughly readable introduction to psychological temperaments and personality types, based on the popular Myers-Briggs Type Indicator. The book is divided into two main sections.
The first part teaches the reader about the basic Jungian preferences-- extraversion/introversion, sensing/intuition, thinking/feeling and judging/perceiving. Each is explained in terms of general characteristics as well as specifics on how they influence communication, work, relationships, careers and more. The explanations are straightforward, but more than adequate to help readers determine their preferences, and thus their four-letter personality type.
Part two offers detailed descriptions of the 16 different personality types. Each is described in terms of their typical directions in life, followed by learning styles, work choices (including settings, organizing style and typical occupations), leadership style, leisure time choices, relationship style and finally a section outlining some potential "trouble spots" and places each type might get "stuck."
Final thoughts: Recommended (9 out of 10 possible bookmarks). Whereas it lacks the depth of research and insight offered by experts like David Keirsey ("Please Understand Me"), it is also far easier to read, and thus makes an excellent beginning book for those interested in personality types.
Thanks for reading!
