 Keirsey and Bates's Please Understand Me, first published in 1978, sold nearly 2 million copies in its first 20 years, becoming a perennial best seller all over the world. Advertised only by word of mouth, the book became a favorite training and counseling guide in many institutions -- government, church, business -- and colleges across the nation adopted it as an auxiliary text in a dozen different departments. Why? Perhaps it was the user-friendly way that Please Understand Me helped people find their personality style. Perhaps it was the simple accuracy of Keirsey's portraits of temperament and character types. Or perhaps it was the book's essential message: that members of families and institutions are OK, even though they are fundamentally different from each other, and that they would all do well to appreciate their differences and give up trying to change others into copies of themselves. Dr.Keirsey continues to expand his Temperament Theory and have published several other titles that compliment Please Understand Me.

For the past twenty years, Dr. Keirsey has continued to investigate personality differences-to refine his theory of the four temperaments and to define their unique facets of character. The result is this updated and greatly expanded edition (346 pages). Keirsey's latest ideas on differences in temperament and character in mating, parenting, and leading are presented. The four temperaments, Artisans™(SPs), Guardians™(SJs), Idealists™(NFs) and Rationals™(NTs), as well as their 16 role variants, are discussed comprehensively.
