plugged in to congregational life. [top]
Intimacy and Type:
A Practical Guide for Improving Relationships for
Couples and Counselors
by Jane Hardy Jones and Ruth G. Sherman
Review -
from Amazon.com
What I
find most fascinating is how we can change during the
course of our lives. The section "Personal Growth
as Individuation" particularly intrigued me, especially
the following: "[Individuation is a developmental
process] that requires you to start dealing with your
less-preferred functions (or what you might call your
less conscious side) by midlife...in order to become more
integrated and whole...As you go through life you find
it is more functional to be able to use all aspects of
the self to maximize your ability to handle a variety
of situations and people." As we nudge our less-preferred
functions out of the shadows and into the light, we may
discover that we have blossomed into fuller selves. [top]

This book
is an excellent resource for classroom teachers who want
ways to apply the concept of personality types to their
instructional planning. It contains a quick and dirty
survey for student's use that identifies 4 out of the

found it extremely useful in my work with pre-service

Dr. Berens
already effective Introduction to Temperament booklet
has become an even more useful resource for understanding
the four temperaments. An expanded explanation of the
dimensions of each temperament (concrete - abstract; affiliative-pragmatic;
and motive-structure) gives the reader a more complete
understanding of why someone's temperament can look different.
A one-page look at Abraham Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs
to include the temperament "core needs", as
Dr. Berens calls them, sheds some interesting light on
the subject of motivation and temperament. I was also
pleased to see more resources, in the form of individual
exercises, for individuals to practice the information
they learn from this booklet. As a career counselor, I
use this booklet to help individuals understand their
motivation for working but I can see numerous applications
to business and education. The size makes it an easy read
and at for the price I would recommend that everyone using
this personality theory have this booklet. [top]

The Art of Speed-reading People:
How to Size People Up and Speak Their Language
by Paul D. Tieger, Barbara Barron-Tieger, Marly A.
Swick
Do you
communicate ineffectively with some people and powerfully
with others? The reason may be a difference in personalities
and communication preferences. The Art of Speed-reading
People is a crash course in communication strategies,
showing you how to observe behavioral clues to gain valuable
insights into people's personalities and communication
styles. The result: you become a more effective and convincing
communicator, and you are more likely to receive the response
you want.
This book
is like a practical communications seminar based on the
psychology model called Personality Typing, which is focused
on identifying key personality traits in order to communicate
most effectively. First, you analyze your own personality
type and determine your placement on the scales of extrovert/introvert,
sensor/intuitive, thinking/feeling, and judging/perceiving.
The book then teaches you about the clues that indicate
other people's personality type, including speaking style,
body language, and occupation. You test yourself by reading
a few scenarios and personality typing the characters
described. You put the system to work by learning approaches
to "speed-reading" people in person and on the
phone using skill-building exercises. Finally, you learn
how to communicate effectively with people who are a different
type or temperament than you. The Art of Speed-reading
People is intriguing and useful, especially for those
who work in a sales, service, teaching, or managerial
position, or any job where effective and positive communication
is paramount. [top]
