Product Description

The Tiegers, renowned experts on personality type and authors of Do What You Are, have put together an exhaustive summary of how people with different Myers-Briggs Personality Indicators respond to each other in intimate relationships. They give an overview of types and temperaments and a solid rundown of the 16 different personality types. Readers who don't know their Myers-Briggs type will benefit from the section on figuring it out without actually taking a written test. The meat of the book consists of chapters that, using 136 profiles, spell out the issues faced by people in different combinations of types. They outline the joys and the frustrations found in each combination and give tips on how to reach partners whether their type is exactly the same as yours or diametrically opposed. Given the popularity of Myers-Briggs typing and of the authors' previous book, most public libraries should probably order a copy of this well-balanced and informative work.
