Looking at Type: The Fundamentals Using Psychological Type To Understand and Appreciate Ourselves and Others

Are you more actively interested in people and the world around you, or drawn to the inner world of ideas? Does your spouse stick to-just the facts-or look for an underlying pattern? Is there tension at work because coworkers can't seem to agree on the best way to approach a task?

Of the many explanations of why people differ from one another, the concept of psychological type has proven to be one of the most reliable and accurate.
