Complicated Stuff, Simplified, for Complicated People...

Daryl Sharp's 'Personality Types' is an excellent way of being introduced to C.G. Jung's Model of Typology. A brief list of areas explored include, the two personality attitudes - Introversion and Extroversion - and four functions or modes of orientation -Thinking - Intuition - Sensation - Feeling. I once attended a workshop where we, the participants, had previously undergone a few psychological test, including the Jung-Myers-Briggs typology test. In this workshop, we were separated into small groups of 4 or 5 people, all of different typologies, and we were given quite simple tasks to be completed as a group. Well, you would have thought these tasks to be simple, but given the diversity in our personality types, many of the groups performed quite poorly in accomplishing their goal and a few even outright failed, with one person stomping out of the room in tears. If you deal with groups, in business or elsewhere -- I suppose that we all deal with groups filled with different personality types, the first being our family -- then I highly recommend Daryl Sharp's 'Personality Types' to gain basic insights into how and why people are moved to act and react in a host of different fashions.
