   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 incorrect or that I am “masking” a personality. What??? Honestly, I have never establish 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 lacking 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!

   I have used their personality test sheet which I really liked so I bought the book to deepen my understanding. This book speaks to the reader at an elementary level, like talking to a child. I establish it a bit upsetting and discontinued the book after chapter 1. If you’re really new to personality theories and or psychology as a whole, this book may be for you – if you have aquired a knowledge foundation in psychology this book feels nearly like an insult. It made me feel like the authors reflect that the readers are like small dumb children that need stupid ‘real life’ examples after every single point… This book should in fact be in the children section or maybe young adults.

   I establish that this book was fantastic for identifying personality types, but useless after that point. Ms. Littauer several times in the book gives comprehensive advice like “Accentuate the Positives. Eliminate the Negatives” and “Not Everything in Life can be Perfect, so relax.” I mean, we’re not children here, such basic “advice” is just useless. How does one “accentuate the positive?” Obviously Ms. Littauer has no thought. Her Biblical references are irritating and add nothing to the book but italics. Find a different personality typing book if you want something useful to read.
