The program introduces 34 dominant "themes" with thousands of possible combinations, and reveals how they can best be translated into personal and career success. In developing this program, Gallup has conducted psychological profiles with more than two million individuals to help readers learn how to focus and perfect these themes. So how does it work? This book contains a unique identification number that allows you access to the StrengthsFinder Profile on the Internet. This Web-based interview analyzes your instinctive reactions and immediately presents you with your five most powerful signature themes. Once you know which of the 34 themes -- such as Achiever, Activator, Empathy, Futuristic, or Strategic -- you lead with, the book will show you how to leverage them for powerful results at three levels: for your own development, for your success as a manager, and for the success of your organization."--Publisher description.

My true type : clarifying your personality type, preferences & functions / by Drenth, A. J.,Dr,author.; Meredith, Brent,editor.;
It is hard to overstate the value and importance of knowing who you are. After all, who you understand yourself to be, your sense of self and identity, influences everything; it is the compass we use to navigate life. Your personality type is an integral part of who you are. Knowing and understanding your type (e.g., INFP) can bring confidence and direction in your life's path. But like countless others, you may be unsure of your true type, perhaps feeling "stuck in the middle" between two or three types. My True Type was carefully researched and written to address these issues. It will equip you with the knowledge and skills required to clarify and better understand your personality type, preferences, and functions. If you really want to know yourself better and gain clarity in your life, this book is for you. Some of its main features include: · Type Clarifier Assessment. This brand new personality inventory is composed of two parts. Part I is designed to clarify your personality preferences (E, I, S, N, T, F, J, P) , while Part II focuses on clarifying your functions (Se, Si, Ne, Ni, Te, Ti, Fe, Fi). Instructions are then provided for integrating these results in order to identify your true type. · Numerous tips and strategies for identifying and clarifying your type · In-depth analyses of each of the personality preferences and functions · Identification of and explanations for common "mistypings" (e.g., introverts mistyping as extraverts, etc.) · Clear explanations of type theory, including the nuts and bolts of the functional stack and how the preferences link up with the functions The book also addresses a number of "frequently asked questions" such as: · Can my personality type change over time? · Is it possible to be an "x-type," to have no true preference at all (e.g., ExFP)? · Are some types (or functions) more "right-brained" or "left-brained?" · How does gender affect personality type, especially T-F differences?--Amazon.com
