Looking at Type: The Fundamentals – Charles Martin, Ph.D.

"Charles Martin’s Looking at Type: The Fundamentals is, in my view, the best introductory type booklet available in the world today. With an introduction by Mary McCaulley, this most comprehensive booklet runs through the history, and what the preferences and scores mean, also providing 16 excellent type descriptions….The prose is extremely clear and accessible….Buy the book and see what I mean." --- Peter Geyer (Australian Journal of Psychological Type, Vol.7, No. 1 & 2. July 1998, pp. 95-96)

This introduction to type is designed to help you identify and clarify your best-fit type, and - if you have taken the MBTI or other type assessment instrument - to understand the results. This insight can enrich relationships, aid decision-making processes, and increase sense of self-worth and personal competence. The book describes the basic nature of type as a dynamic model of personality and lifelong development. Detailed descriptions of all 16 personality types are included. Each description indicates unique paths to personal growth, achievement, and applications of type in daily life. Includes the role of type in relationships, communication, and problem solving. Available in Spanish as well.
