Learn More about Your Type!
We come to personality typology seeking clarity about who we are and how we should live. If the world is a stage, home to innumerable acts and actors, we want to know our role and the story we are living out. Typology helps us understand our natural roles and strengths, while casting light on our work, relationships, and personal growth.
This compendium of Dr. Drenth’s personality profiles includes expanded descriptions of the INFP, INFJ, and INTJ types. It features in-depth analyses of each type’s personality traits, functions (e.g., Ni, Fe), strengths, and weaknesses. It also explores type theory, the inferior function, and paths for growth and development.
Highlights
- Features in-depth personality descriptions and analyses of each of the 16 personality types (e.g., INFJ)

“ Testimonials ”
“Best Book on the Subject. Illuminating.”
-A. Cramer
“I’ve read a lot about Myers Briggs personality types and this is the best book that I have ever found on the subject… I learned a lot more about my own type as well as my girlfriend’s type. I also found the quality of the writing to be clear and illuminating. The book took me to a deeper level of understanding of type dynamics and for the most part, without losing me.”
“A Clear & Thorough Approach to Type”
-M. Greer
“This is an excellent book on personality type. It explains type theory in a way that is accessible and close to the original intent of Jung’s theory. While most books explain type as a mere sum of the four letters, this book emphasizes the functions and their ordering… If you want a clear, thorough, and holistic approach to type, search no longer, you have found your book.”
“Useful Material I Haven’t Read Elsewhere”
-N. Matheson
“I’ve been studying type on and off for a couple of years now, but I’ve never delved that seriously into all the type functions. This book really lays it out well… Overall, it is excellent.”
“The Most Insightful Type Descriptions”
-J. Smith
“These are the most accurate and insightful type descriptions I have encountered to date. I especially appreciated the profile describing my own type (INFJ). It alone made the book worthwhile.”
