Summary: Leaves something to be desired...
Comment: The descriptions in this book are too vague, so for someone who is new to typology, it could be daunting identifying with one the types by reading this book. If you already know your type, the information in this book is limited and not completely accurate. I suggest "Do What You Are" as an alternative choice.

Rating: 5
Summary: Informative and Interesting.
Comment: "The 16 Personality Types" is a workbook-style book that holds a lot of information and is available at a more than reasonable price. I bought it and was extremely pleased with the descriptions, which make it fun and fairly easy to discover one's "best-fit type." I myself, for example, am unquestionably a Harmonizer Clarifier; the description sounded like I wrote it. My mother tried to find her type and it was a bit more difficult, but with some concentration we deduced that she is the Foreseer Developer. You really will discover yourself and others better with this book. As someone interested in all forms of gaining self-knowledge, from astrology to numerology to the Dewey Color System to this, I recommend it.

Summary: An Excellent Buy for the Small Price
Comment: Having a career interest in psychology, I have read a few books on the subject of personality type, and I found "Descriptions for Self-Discovery" to be a good purchase for the small price. The book provides fairly small, two page descriptions of each personality type, briefly detailing the traits. A good deal of information is stored in the two-page synopsis, but there is no functional analysis of the types, so look elsewhere for deeper textbook-style reading. I also found that people tested for the first time reacted well to the short and descriptive type-models, and were interested in learning more after being "primed" with the information in this book. A good aid for counselors aiming to deepen initial interest and active participation in self-discovery with patients.

This book is not a reference for psychologists, but is well worth the small price for its unique and easily digestible type descriptions.
