Book Reviews of The New Personality Self-Portrait: Why You Think, Work, Love and Act the Way You Do

Book Review: Very informative, but read with some caution...
Summary: 4 Stars

This is a VERY informative book, and the test was relatively easy, albeit a little lengthy. The only downfall is that if you're not cautious, you can almost take the assessments to read like a horoscope and take them to be what defines you fully rather than partially. While I can see that there are strong tendencies in the attributes described, they can make one overly suspicious of the negative characteristics if you are not careful. However, it is an accurate depiction according to the tests, the results are pretty accurate (my husband and I both did the tests). It doesn't take into account someone who is disciplined and moral who decides to make better choices beyond there human/animalistic tendancies...ie, those who choose to submit themselves to their belief systems, like Christianity with a renewed mind. Each chapter delves further in study than most other books like it in that it introduces research on the corresponding personality disorders.
