US blogger Hunter Nutall has produced a very readable ebook that introduces the Myers-Briggs Type Inventory (MBTI) entitled The Personality Puzzle: Understanding What Makes People Tick.
You can read Hunter's description of his ebook here and view the Foreword online here. A sample quote:
There are personality tests out there that will judge you, saying that you're not creative, not assertive, etc. But the MBTI is intentionally called an indicator and not a test. There are no right or wrong answers; it simply indicates your preferences.
If you took a questionnaire about ice cream preferences, and it determined that you have a moderate preference for chocolate over vanilla, would you be offended? Of course not. It doesn't make any sense to be offended by your own preferences.
The full ebook covers all eight elements of the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator, how they interrelate to make up someone’s personality, why this is relevant and useful in our lives, and lots of examples with real and fictional people. The full 67-page ebook costs $27.
