The Art of Speed Reading People by Paul D. Tieger and Barbara Barron-Tieger uses the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator® (MBTI) personality inventory to sort people. It shows how to quickly identify and communicate with each type, etcetera.

I’m mixed on the book. On one hand, it’s helpful to see how people think differently. On the other hand, it’s really easy to stereotype people and over-generalize. In the book’s defense, it does warn against this, that people aren’t exclusively one way. Yet the advice still mostly tends towards generality.

I guess it was an okay primer on personality types, and I would like to explore the subject further.
