{ "item_title" : "The 16 Personality Types", "item_author" : [" Ray Mercury "], "item_description" : "The four letters from an online quiz are a clue, not an answer. This book reads the 16 types from the inside, through the 4 preferences and the 8 cognitive functions, so you can confirm your own type candidates and put your differences with other people into words.I think I'm an INFP. My boss is so ESTJ. The four-letter codes have become part of everyday conversation. But knowing your four letters and being able to use what is behind them are two different things. This book explains Extraversion/Introversion, Sensing/Intuition, Thinking/Feeling, and Judging/Perceiving all the way down to the 8 cognitive functions and the function stack beneath them, and turns the 16 types into a map you can actually navigate with.What you will learnPart 1 - How the 16 Types Work (Chapters 1-9): From Jung's typology to the MBTI(R) and today's online quizzes. What the 4 preferences really mean and the common misreadings. The 8 cognitive functions and the function stack. An original 64-item Self-Check (48 items on the preferences, 16 on the functions). The four temperament groups.Part 2 - The 16 Types in Depth (Chapters 10-25): One chapter per type: the function stack and how it shows, 5 strengths, 5 stumbles, everyday moments, how to tell look-alike types apart, stress signs and the grip, relationships and love, a compatibility table with all 15 other types, work style, the path of growth, advice for the people around them, and if this doesn't feel like you.Part 3 - Putting the 16 Types to Use (Chapters 26-32): All 256 pairings sorted into five patterns. Love, work and teams (meetings, reporting, leadership, describing your strengths in a job interview), parenting and family, personal growth and the inferior function, and the science: reliability, the Big Five, and the Barnum effect.Appendices: 16-type quick reference, 16 x 16 compatibility chart, glossary.Where this book standsType is a preference, not a measure of ability or worth. A result is a candidate, not a verdict. There is no good or bad compatibility, only where the friction tends to be and what helps. This book covers both the accuracy and the limits of type, and it was written not to fit people into a trendy box but to change the conversations you have with the people who matter. 32 figures, and every chapter opens with This Chapter in Three Lines.Who it's forYou took an online quiz and thought, That's me... except it isn't.You want words for the friction with a partner, a parent, or a coworker, without blame.You need to describe your strengths in your own words for a job interview or a career change.You want to read your child's preferences instead of correcting them.You want to use the 16 types knowing exactly what the science does and does not support.About the authorRay Mercury runs Come true, a web design and marketing studio in Japan, working remotely with clients across the country.
