From back cover: Gifts Differing has helped to define our understanding of personality. Written by the creator of the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator inventory -- the most widely used personality profile in history and survey you likely took in college or at your job -- Gifts Differing explains the essential personality types described by the MBTI and their practical significance in your daily life.
Drawing on concepts originated by Carl Jung, this book distinguishes four categories of personality styles and shows how these qualities determine the way you perceive the world and come to conclusions about what you've seen. It then explains what they mean for your success, in school, at a job, in a career, or in your personal relationships.

Work Description
From the back cover: Distilled in these pages are the insights gleaned during a lifetime of sensitive and loving observation of people and how their behavior reflects their psychological type as measured by the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator. Myers believes passionately that each of the 16 types has its own strengths and that understanding and using these can lead to fulfillment.
The Myers-Briggs Type Indicator or MBTI is one of the most popular methods for describing personality. The model divides people into personality preferences on four measures: introversion-extraversion, intuitive-sensing, thinking-feeling, and judging-perceiving. A combination of these measures gives a possible 16 different personality type preferences. One of the great things about this book is the polls they did matching occupations to personality types. Unsurprisingly there is a connection between what type people are and what jobs they tend to want to do. It's not a one-to-one correlation (thank goodness) but it is an interesting pattern to look at.
