I couldn’t believe this was a required text for my Personality Theories undergraduate course…it read like a novel! Unbelievably easy to read book, highly organize with bits of humor scattered throughout. You’ll enjoy this book for both class and personal reading.

I agree. I would never have figured this stuff out just by taking tests online and hearing my and others’ four-letter type. This book explains it all so well – and I’m really able to figure out the type of just about everyone around me and as you said, accept them and their preferences.

I figure if you are going to spend 8-10 hours a day with these people you had better understand and accept them and this book totally teaches you that. Now you can ask and expect exactly what it is you need from them and get the results your looking for. This book is amazing and anyone who works with people should read it. It will change your outlook and give you such acceptance of all types of people. This material is very very simple to understand unlike so many other personality systems.

Hi AL! Thank you! After reading the ebook, you may be able to type him, but you may never convince him that any of it is true. That’s OK; you’ll still learn what he cares most about and a little bit more about how he sees things. It’s really useful – and often amusing – to start noticing things about the people around you and guessing their types.

great post! I just subscribed to Hunter’s blog after I read your interview interview with him. What about an EXTREME extravert who doesn’t believe in the psychology of personality? Is he a particular type? I’ve written him off as a hopeless case since I just cannot make sense of him. Likewise, he thinks calling myself an introvert is simply an excuse to be anti-social… because that’s a trait we all strive for :]

I’ll have to check out this ebook. Maybe he’s not a lost cause after all…

Oh Nick you’ll love it. As a personal development junkie you’ll enjoy digging into this subject because it’ll provide you with information for all the various personality types – and of course you’ll also love to read Hunter’s writing.

I will definitely have to add that ebook to my virtual stack of books. Based on your review I will certainly move it to the top.

Hi Hunter! Your book was a pleasure to read, and I am still going back to re-read and work through the last parts of it about dominant, auxiliary, etc., functions, because this is the stuff I have never seen before. It’s obvious that you had to do a lot of heavy-duty reading to get this information for us, and I’m grateful to have it explained in such a clear manner, along with some fun humor. I’m looking forward to the interview too, and I know all the Introvert Zone readers are!

Thanks for reviewing my ebook! While everyone knows the word “introvert,” it’s surrounded by a lot of misunderstanding. And when you throw in the other measures that haven’t entered the public consciousness, there’s a whole lot the average person doesn’t know about personality types!

The introvert club has a very broad membership. As you’ve noticed, two people can both be introverts while still being very different from each other. But in the same way that introverts and extraverts can learn to peacefully coexist, different kinds of introverts can as well.

I’m looking forward to that interview, and I’ll get back to you with my answers as soon as I can!
