Informative!! | Customer Rating: | | I found this book to be very informative, but it was also so much fun that I couldn't put it down.The self-assessment test was very user-friendly and helpful.I was given a list of jobs that are good fits for me as a "Green/Gold Introvert".Although, as the book says, the list is not exhaustive, I did find it helpful, as well as informative.Pick up a copy and see what you think!!! | Easy & fast read, very accurate | Customer Rating: | | Read this book before you start looking for your next job! So you know what to look for. | Perfect tool | Customer Rating: | | I work as a career consultant and will utilize this book with clients. It is a great re-thinking of some more standard and longer personality assessments. I took the quiz myself and read the pertinent chapters and they were right on the money as to my perfect employment. | Excellent reference | Customer Rating: | | Great resource for people who is interest in finding out who they are and what they should be doing. | Oddly Reassuring, Highly Recommended | Customer Rating: | I have read a number of books of this type, and this is one of the most helpful I've found. The initial test is very quick and, for me, very accurate. Many of my preferences for how, where, and why I like to work are listed for my type. Seeing them written here assures me that there really are reasons for the work environment that I prefer, and the work types that I gravitate toward.
Of additional benefit are the sections on how to work with different types of people. I find that being a Red/Blue/Introvert, it's quite natural to have differences with my Gold/Green/Extrovert colleague. More importantly, it gives me some tips as to how my co-worker thinks, what they find important and how to deal with them. Even if it sounds crazy to me.
I also like that the occupational descriptions are very up-to-date, something that I find lacking in most career matching books or on-line tests. I have already recommended this book to several of my friends.
This is Myers-Briggs light; easier to understand than the standard four letter system. It's also more weighted toward application than theory, making it immediately useful, especially for Red/Blues who have little patience with something that doesn't yield some immediate results! |
