Personality Types

A stimulating book exploring a system of seven personality types: King, Priest, Warrior, Scholar, Sage, Artisan and Server. The reader begins by taking a test to see if they agree with a number of statements characteristic of the various types. One is likely to score much more highly on one than the others, with perhaps two in second place. This enables you to read in detail not only about your predominant personality type, but also about the others and how to relate to them. It is an interesting exercise in self-awareness, as no individual will fit exactly into a formula. One also becomes aware of the extent to which characteristics are acquired or intrinsic. A structure is applied to each of the types, which have positive and negative polarities. In addition, one can apply various perspectives to the types, each of which is described in terms of leadership and communication style, and how people relate as parents, in love and at work. A worthwhile map to study in order to make the most of one's capacity.
