Understanding Yourself and Others, An Introduction to Temperament

by Linda V. Berens

The four temperaments are patterns of organization. David Keirsey described these patterns of organization in the popular book Please Understand Me. By understanding these four temperament patterns we can better understand and relate to others. In this booklet, Linda V. Berens has made these temperament patterns more available and applicable to everyday life. As an application booklet, Understanding Yourself and Others, An Introduction to Temperament is designed to be interactive so you can explore the four temperament patterns and identify your own and others.

Brilliant introduction to keirseyan temperament theory, with tables, graphics and clear explanations to make it more straightforward. Not fully comprehensive, but a superb overview for someone wanting to learn about this topic without reading a lengthy book.

This wide but thin book was interesting and helpful in my continual discovery of Jungian Analytical Psychology and 4 Sides Theory.

It is helpful, but its descriptions of the functions are not very good especially Introverted Intuition.
