Big Book of Personality Tests by Dr. Didato MD

This work measures classic psychological behaviors which are a part of us all. For instance, the book tests traits in the following important areas: - Are you a risk-taker or risk averse - How daring are you? - Do you handle confrontation constructively? - Are you a listener or do you talk over people? - Are you considerate of others in a variety of classic contexts? - How do you express anger? - Can you take charge of anything and assume responsibility or more importantly accountability? All of these issues are important in daily life. The author covers them in a question/answer format and places us squarely in a category inside the norm or outside . This book will help you to identify inappropriate or ill-considered reactions to a wide range of everyday behaviors in our culture. Once identified, the readers can take corrective action to modify behavior constructively. The contents of the book are topical because most of us are unaware of the critical behaviors which apply to a multiplicity of workplace environments. The volume is researched thoroughly. It is priced reasonably for consumers.

Great Collection of Quizzes

The Big Book of Personality Tests by S.V. Didato is a well-writtencollection of quizzes which are easy to take, about 15-20 minutes each. Theycover, what the author says are 8 life domains like,your true self, yourfamily life, social life, work attitudes, intelligence, your true potentialetc..The book is not a deep psychoanalytic probe into one's personality( no bookever written can do that) but merely a capsule glimpse into one's behaviorwhich suggests further self study.Didato tries to keep it from being a heavy reading, reference-laden textbook, but rather a straight-forward, easy to read and understandable book.It offers a capsule summary of various personality traits which givereaders a pretty good picture of themselves in a most enjoyable way.The amusing cartoons are almost worth the price of the book itself.I especially found helpful the quiz on questions job interviewers focus onand how to handle them.The validity of the tests in this book is solidly based on clinicalexperience or actual research done at universities in the US and around theworld, which most media quizzes don't do. The author encourages readers tocontact him if more research references are desired, something quite uniquefor a writer to do.
