Reviews

[Nandakishore Mridula · Rating 4 out of 5]

Read this during my teenage days. It's a good book, with a lot of questions so that you can't possibly cheat. The chapter on cartoons was extraordinary.

It gives your basic personality traits (introvert-extravert, rational-emotional etc.). To be taken with a pinch of salt. However, it correctly diagnosed me as a hypochondriac, which was a revelation in those days! (Now I am only too aware).

A fun read.

There is a thousand or so questions in this book, they are fun to go through and the results are very accurate (for me at least). Well, with the exception of the humour chapter - the cartoons are horribly outdated.

the Arabic translation is not so good. but the book is informative in general

[Michael David · Rating 3 out of 5]

In spite of its datedness, the book still provides some insight towards one's character.
