 A Very Interesting and Fun Book June 9, 2008
Enjoyable to read by yourself, but more fun read with others.
This book helps us to understand ourselves as much as it helps us to be more understanding and tolerant of others. As the title suggests it's all about personalities. This book touches on relationships of all kinds and how the four different aspects of personality relate to one another and how our intrinsic personalities relate to, and affect, others.
Usually we are a mixture of all four personality types, but generally being dominant in one or two. I, myself, am a mixture of Powerful Choleric and Perfect Melancholy. To truly understand what these terms mean one will have to read the book.
And it certainly is worth a read. There are quizzes in the book that can be undertaken by a group of people all at the same time. These quizzes help determine a person's personality type. Once this is figured out, it's then quite fun and enlightening to read through the book and delve into the personalities and how they relate to each other.
It can be quite an eye-opener. You definitely learn more about yourself and others.

Ok, well I suppose that it wasn't truly about staring at your navel, but it wasn't far away from it. The more I read this book and tried to figure out "who I was" the more confused I became. First, I was part of two personalities which, how kind of her, is allowed. But as I read on I saw parts of me in all four personalities, which means I took the test wrong or that I am "masking" a personality. What??? Honestly, I have never found it helpful to look deeper and deeper inside of my person or psyche because I find the same person everytime I look. A wretched sinner in need of a Savior. Psychology has never promised me anything accept the confirmation of how messed up I am without Jesus. The bible says that the heart is desperately wicked, who can know it? Yes, I am wicked and sinful but Jesus, my Savior promises me the hope of real change. Behaviorism gets us nowhere!
 Awesome book January 15, 2008
This is a wonderful, fun, fast read book! Understand WHY people are the way they are. What makes them click, why do you butt heads with some people. This book has the answers! You will find that you will learn a lot about yourself too.

Years ago, and a few times since, I took a personality test that was unbelievably accurate at describing me and how I act, react and respond to life situations. For the past ten years, I've been looking for that test and finally found what I was looking for with Florence Littauer's book Personality Plus.
Littauer classifies the four primary personality types: Popular Sanguine, Perfect Melancholy, Powerful Choleric and Peaceful Phlegmatic. Most every person fits into one of these personality categories, while some (like me) are near equal parts of two of the personality types.
Personality Plus starts off with a quick quiz that will allow you to determine your primary personality. Then the book begins to go through each of the personality types, outlining the strengths and weaknesses and the positives and negatives of each.
This isn't just about understanding your own personality but about the personality traits of others. Littauer teaches how to recognize the different personality types in different people and talks about each personality and how they interact with the others. She explains how your personality might be more sensitive to other types when conflict arises.
The book provides a fascinating study of the human personalities and is an essential read for any office environment where there is a collection of different personality types. It's also a great read for parents to better understand their kids, though Littauer does have versions of this book targeted specifically for parents (Personality Plus for Parents: Understanding What Makes Your Child Tick) and couples (Personality Plus for Couples: Understanding Yourself and the One You Love).

This is a top five book in terms of success in life. How can you lead and love people that you don't understand? How about if you don't even understand yourself? If you read this book by Florence Littauer you will discover that not everyone has the same perspective as you and why. This book is a great tool to gain promotions at work or build relationships at home. If you want to get better you NEED Personality Plus!
