Does your spouse's need to alphabetically organize books on the shelves puzzle you? Do your boss's tsunami-like moods leave you exasperated? Do your child's constant questions make you batty? If you've ever wanted to change your mate, your coworkers, or a family member, then "Put down your chisel," advise David Keirsey and Marilyn Bates in this book of personality types. We are different for a reason, and that reason is probably more good than bad. Keirsey and Bates believe that not only is it impossible to truly change others (which they call embarking on a "Pygmalion project"), it's much more important to understand and affirm differences. Sounds easier than it is, you might say. Well, this book is a guide for putting an end to the Pygmalion projects in your life and starting on the path to acceptance.

Dr. Keirsey examines in detail the ingrained attitudes and habitual actions of the four basic personality types: the Artisans, Guardians, Rationals, and Idealists. Keirsey summarizes the four temperaments, showing how behaviour of each is either concrete or abstract, cooperative or pragmatic, directive or informative, and finally assertive or responsive. The book includes two brief self-scoring personality tests to assist in observing the differences and similarities among us.

Brains and Careers: The Story of Personology

Success

This book is a reworking of Brains and Careers, slimmed down, and the Four Roles emphasized even more. This will be the last word on normal human action by Dr. Keirsey. This the final culmination of his study of human behavior, having used his 89 years of life experience in discerning differing preferences of individuals on their inborn natures and to act on those preferences in light of the surrounding circumstances.

Personology

Explains the origins of temperament, character, and intelligence, offering a better understanding of the particularities that set individuals apart from other people.
