 | An O.K. book. Mar 13, 2007 |
| This book was informative for sure, interesting and funny. One of the things I don't like about it is the stereo-typing. It generalizes a human beings complex mind, with only four "personality types" This is fun, however and makes you except who you really are. I would recommend it for almost anyone. | | |  | This is a MUST Read if you work with People Feb 19, 2007 |
| If you want to better understand yourself and other people, this is a must read book. I wish everyone would read this book. I learned more about why I am the way I am and also why other people are so different from me......it's because that is how they are designed. | | | | Personality Plus Aug 28, 2006 |
| I read this book quite a few years ago but I really enjoyed the updated version. She has so much wisdom about this topic. I teach school and I have my students take this test. It really helps me to understand them and plan accordingly. It has also helped me to understand my kids and husband. I highly recommend it to parents and educators. Very enlightening! | | | | Elementary foundation usually serves us best Aug 2, 2006 |
Reviewer Pascal Schoneburg complains, "If you're totally new to personality theories and or psychology as a whole, this book may be for you - if you have aquired a knowledge foundation in psychology this book feels almost like an insult." Well, Pascal, I have a master's degree in clinical psychology and I find Littauer's simple, foundational explanations the easiest to explain, illustrate, and understand one's essential personality. Go ahead and work with other systems that give you a possible fit in 16 categories, or 9, or whatever--and see how easily you remember what you've been taught.
Over the years the study of innate temperament has been vilified by the "nurture" camp of "nature versus nurture" debaters, and by those who believe that Hippocrates and Galen, who introduced and refined the four temperament theory, were unwitting occultists. It only took a couple of thousand years for brain research to reach today's sophistication so that the development of neural pathways is a given and temperament is only argued from the standpoint of how many there are (3? 4? 5?).
I think what Pascal is unhappy about is that this treatment of temperament is too simplistic for him. Well, if one is not a psychologist but has a fascination with and love for what makes us the way we are; and if one is a speaker interested in communicating ancient truths with simple and memorable illustrations; and if one desires to help people hold onto a concept instead of discarding it immediately because it's just too complex, then this book is fabulous. If you are none of the above, find a neuropsychology text and don't beat up on people who know what they are trying to accomplish. Feeling a little Melancholy, Pascal? | | |  | Level 1 Reading Mar 16, 2006 |
| I have used their personality test sheet which I really liked so I bought the book to deepen my understanding. This book speaks to the reader at an elementary level, like talking to a child. I found it a bit upsetting and discontinued the book after chapter 1. If you're totally new to personality theories and or psychology as a whole, this book may be for you - if you have aquired a knowledge foundation in psychology this book feels almost like an insult. It made me feel like the authors think that the readers are like little dumb children that need stupid 'real life' examples after every single point... This book should in fact be in the children section or maybe young adults. | | | Write your own review about Personality Plus
