In our quest for self-discovery and personal growth, many of us turn to personality typology, seeking clarity about who we are and how we might live a more fulfilling life aligned with our natural preferences. We sense that understanding our personality type might unlock key insights into our inner workings and illuminate our unique role in the grand theater of life. Regrettably, many personality books only scratch the surface, focusing primarily on superficial traits of the 16 types but failing to dive deeper into their nuances and complexities.
This book, a comprehensive compendium of Dr. Drenth’s personality profiles, stands apart from the rest. It not only explores the overt characteristics of the 16 types but also delves into what lies beneath the surface—their unconscious dynamics. Grounded in the seminal works of Jung and Myers-Briggs, this book presents thorough analyses of each type’s personality traits, cognitive functions (e.g., Introverted Intuition), strengths, weaknesses, and potential growth areas. Particularly noteworthy are its expanded descriptions of commonly misunderstood types such as INFJ, INFP, and INTJ.
This book also goes beyond individual type profiles to examine the intricacies of type theory, including the interplay between various functions and the crucial role of the inferior function in type development. It offers practical guidance and paths for growth, empowering readers to embrace their authentic selves.
Whether you’re a seasoned enthusiast or a newcomer to the world of personality typology, this book is an indispensable guide on your journey to understanding your type, yourself, and your greater purpose in the world.

-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.”
-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.”
-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.”
-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.”
