Summary: Pretty insightful
Comment: I found this book to be quite interesting. I especially like the survey that defines what 'color' you are, in terms of one's potential career interests and styles. I was a BLUE-BLUE. It seemed accurate for myself, but others that have taken the test, have not always agreed.
Anyhow, I didn't give the book a 5, because I don't think a book can really tell you what you should do. Career books are at most, good guides. Mostly, you'll need to do a lot of research and soul searching before you can find a job that is suited to you. But, I can say that this book helped to put more perspective on the job hunt. As a recent entrant to the workforce and still discovering what I "want to be," this book helped me to better understand the things that I should be looking for in my next job/career: organizational culture, level of interaction with others, types of skills, etc.
The color analysis is based on a tool developed by Birkman. You can basically find everything in this book on the Princeton Review's site, www.review.com. If you have access to the Internet, this is probably the better and cheaper route. The information is almost the same, with the exception with exercises on recalling some past memories (this is the same exercise that is touted in "What Color is your Parachute?").
One thing that I did not like about the book was that it was too restrictive. Although the colors are guides, it's easy to get stuck into thinking that because you're a certain color, you should stay away from certain jobs. Also, I had hoped that there would be more job profiles. But, I guess you can just about find more job profiles on other websites like.
Happy hunting!
