From back cover: Gifts Differing has helped to define our understanding of personality. Written by the creator of the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator inventory -- the most widely used personality profile in history and survey you likely took in college or at your job -- Gifts Differing explains the essential personality types described by the MBTI and their practical significance in your daily life. Drawing on concepts originated by Carl Jung, this book distinguishes four categories of personality styles and shows how these qualities determine the way you perceive the world and come to conclusions about what you've seen. It then explains what they mean for your success, in school, at a job, in a career, or in your personal relationships.
