Excellent and thorough discussions of Jungian typology including numerous examples.Some discussion of potential medical problems could be updated with current examples from literature regarding psycho/physical illnesses.

Daryl Sharp's 'Personality Types' is an excellent way of being introduced to C.G. Jung's Model of Typology. A brief list of areas explored include, the two personality attitudes - Introversion and Extroversion - and four functions or modes of orientation -Thinking - Intuition - Sensation - Feeling.

I once attended a workshop where we, the participants, had previously undergone a few psychological test, including the Jung-Myers-Briggs typology test. In this workshop, we were separated into small groups of 4 or 5 people, all of different typologies, and we were given quite simple tasks to be completed as a group. Well, you would have thought these tasks to be simple, but given the diversity in our personality types, many of the groups performed quite poorly in accomplishing their goal and a few even outright failed, with one person stomping out of the room in tears.

If you deal with groups, in business or elsewhere -- I suppose that we all deal with groups filled with different personality types, the first being our family -- then I highly recommend Daryl Sharp's 'Personality Types' to gain basic insights into how and why people are moved to act and react in a host of different fashions.

3.0 out of 5 stars Just Jung, December 7, 1999

This review is from: Personality Types: Jung's Model of Typology (Studies in Jungian Psychology By Jungian Analysts) (Paperback)

Nothing new is added to Jung's premises but they are put forth in clear concise language. This book sticks solely to Jung's ideas. I would have liked a bit more input from the author. Perhaps I should give this book 4 stars because it does what it sets out to do, but you may be able to find better. Books I've read by Loomis and Van Fronz(based on a lecture) describe the types clearly and add a bit to it.
