Synopsis
This easy-to-read and humorous book provides a clear understanding of the dynamics of typical people and of C. G. Jung's psychological type theory, as well as their practical use in real life. Written in a conversational style, with examples, stories, vignettes, caricatures, and cartoons, the book will help you identify patterns that exist among people, patterns that make us "typical" while preserving each person's individuality. You will find yourself on these pages, as well as your friends, family, colleagues, and co-workers - and the clearer understanding of psychological type and dynamics gained from the book will signpost paths for continued growth and maturation. Examples of the practical applications of type theory at work and in other areas of life are provided throughout the book, as are references for further reading and investigation.
Stress is a part of all of our lives that impacts on personality, and so in addition to the four well-known dimensions of psychological type - energy, perceiving, judging, lifestyle - the authors also look at stress and how the "typical" reactions to stress depend upon our personality preferences.
"The authors provide very practical and useful insights into Jungian Type Theory and its uses in life and in business. I especially enjoyed the illustrations and examples. I highly recommend it for managers and administrators at all levels." John Mirocha, PhD, President and CEO, John Mirocha & Associates, Inc. and Participating Faculty, Opus College of Business, University of St. Thomas, Saint Paul, MN
"Bents and Blank provide accessible and immediately applicable wisdom of personality types and how to build your success as a leader or business consultant by unraveling the mysteries of the people side of your business or organization." Julie D. Theobald, Change Management Leader, Cargill, Inc., Minneapolis, MN; MEd, University of Minnesota, Minneapolis, MN
"Richard Bents and Reiner Blank have done a beautiful job of explaining type theory in easy to understand ways. The combination of specific examples, humor, and cartoons is very effective - and the explanation they provide of the difficult concept of type dynamics is clearer than any other I have seen." Linda Russell, MA, College Reading Instructor and Faculty Developer, Minneapolis Community and Technical College, MN
