Surprisingly accurate

I was surprised at how accurate this book was. And when I read the careers that matched my personality, the list contained my current career, a career I've been recently studying for hoping to make a change, as well as a few other careers that I've seriously considered in the past. In fact every career that I seriously considered was in the list. I was amazed. My wife took the test and she found hers pretty accurate as well and it's helping her with her in between jobs job search. For the price it's entertaining and fun, yet helpful at the same time. Highly recommended.

Oddly Reassuring, Highly Recommended

I have read a number of books of this type, and this is one of the most helpful I've found. The initial test is very quick and, for me, very accurate. Many of my preferences for how, where, and why I like to work are listed for my type. Seeing them written here assures me that there really are reasons for the work environment that I prefer, and the work types that I gravitate toward.

Of additional benefit are the sections on how to work with different types of people. I find that being a Red/Blue/Introvert, it's quite natural to have differences with my Gold/Green/Extrovert colleague. More importantly, it gives me some tips as to how my co-worker thinks, what they find important and how to deal with them. Even if it sounds crazy to me.

I also like that the occupational descriptions are very up-to-date, something that I find lacking in most career matching books or on-line tests. I have already recommended this book to several of my friends.

This is Myers-Briggs light; easier to understand than the standard four letter system. It's also more weighted toward application than theory, making it immediately useful, especially for Red/Blues who have little patience with something that doesn't yield some immediate results!

Easy, insightful, great resource

Have read numerous versions of interest inventories, skill guides, and aptitude assessments in my hunt for 'what I want to be when I grow up' (in my forties now - but don't let that throw you, what I enjoy most is change.) At first glance, thought "okay - another one of these" but it's not just "another one" - it's one of the easiest to follow, and insightful. If you're just starting your search - this is a great place to start, if you renewing your search, it's a refreshing look at material that's been overdone and over analyzed.

Excellent reference

Great resource for people who is interest in finding out who they are and what they should be doing.

Good resource

Very good at defining what kind of work will match someone's personality. I found it helpful because it reinforced what I was already told by career testing, etc.
