The Myers-Briggs personality typology, based on the ideas of Carl Gustav Jung, has long been a practical tool for psychodiagnostics in Western countries. Published in America back in 1944, it was known to us only through amateur retellings, and is now available in professional translation. The book describes in detail 16 personality types, each of which is a combination of 8 pairwise opposite traits (extroversion — introversion, thinking — feeling, judgment — perception, etc.). The authors reveal in detail how each type manifests itself in situations that we constantly encounter: study, work, close relationships. And they say that each of us has his own special gift, but in order to realize it, you need to know your strengths and weaknesses. Of course, in the opinion of a professional psychologist, this method cannot claim to be universal: psychology in general is still far from its own «unified theory of everything.» But armed with this book and common sense, it is much easier to follow the path of self-knowledge.
