Books on Personality Differences
 | MotherStyles: Using Personality Type to Discover Your Parenting StrengthsDiane Eble, Janet Penley (2006)This book helps parents understand how personality type, defined by the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator, affects parent-child interactions and family dynamics.

 | Please Understand Me II: Temperament, Character, IntelligenceDavid Keirsey (1998)For 20 years, Keirsey has investigated personality differences, working to define the facets of character that distinguish one from another. His findings form the basis of Please Understand Me II, an updated and greatly expanded edition of his original book which was published in 1978. One major addition is Keirsey's view of how the temperaments differ in the intelligent roles they are most likely to develop. We all have a long suit and a short suit in what interests us and what we do well, he says, and fortunate indeed are those whose work matches their skills. |
