Books - General Type

Gifts Differing describes the ground-breaking insights embodied in the MBTI® and explains its many practical applications. Distinguishing four categories of personality preferences - Extraversion versus Introversion, Sensing versus Intuition, Thinking versus Feeling, and Judging versus Perceiving - this book details with clarity and precision how different combinations of these qualities determine the way we perceive the world and how we respond to and interact with it.

Nearly 2 million copies of this best seller have been sold. A 40 year clinical study of differences in temperament and character in mating, parenting, teaching and leading. Defines four types: Dionysians (SP), Epimethians (SJ), Prometheans (NT), and Apollonians (NF). Keirsey Temperament Sorter included.

An updated and expanded edition of the original, yet with much of the same accessibility. One major addition is Keirsey's view of how the temperaments differ in the intelligent roles they are most likely to develop. Each of us, he says, has four kinds of intelligence - tactical, logistical, diplomatic, strategic - though one of the four interests us far more than the others, and thus gets far more practice than the rest. Includes The Keirsey FourTypes Sorter.
