Awesome

After reading this book it made me look at my co-workers in a totally different way. I figure if you are going to spend 8-10 hours a day with these people you had better understand and accept them and this book totally teaches you that. Now you can ask and expect exactly what it is you need from them and get the results your looking for. This book is amazing and anyone who works with people should read it. It will change your outlook and give you such acceptance of all types of people. This material is very very simple to understand unlike so many other personality systems.

A must for learning how to get along with people at work

I had read Personality Plus previously and it helped me understand my personality strengths and weaknesses. Then I bought Personality Puzzle to help me understand people in the workplace. I found it very easy to understand and apply the concepts. In fact, I have been giving presentations to small groups based on my research and this book is the basis for my presentation.If you manage people at work, this book is a must. You will learn how to lead your staff into their strengths and hire your weaknesses. By understanding the four basic personality types, you can manage people better, reduce on-the-job stress and conflicts, improve workflow, and meet deadlines better. Even if you do not completely belive in the theory of personality typing, this book will help you understand why people behave in predictable way. If you are an employee who is having personality conflicts with coworkers, read this book. It will help you to first understand your own personality (by taking the included test) and then you can understand your coworker's personality. When you know your strengths, you can use them to your advantage and you will understand your weaknesses so that you can minimize them.

It's the best!!!

I never knew myself and the others before. This book has really openned my eyes. There are a lot of things you can learn from this book. I guarantee it ;)Thanks for someone special who purchased this book as a gift for me. This book is the best gift in my life. Thank you.

Understanding why people in your work environment act the way they do is at times very difficult. This book defines personality types and gives great insight into how and why they respond the way they do. It also helps an individual to define their own personality type. By giving real life examples, it is easy to see how to apply what the reader is learning. This book is definitely an eye opener. It will help to distinguish the office personalities, give insight into how to deal with them, and how to interact with them. It has a question area for determing your own personality and a glossary for defining the descriptions used in explaining the different personalities. The style is very easy to read and understand. A must read for everyone in the work place.
