Are you looking for a portable tool that can provide a quick edge? Do you want to better understand yourself and influence others? Personality Types is for use with both the iPhone™ and iPod touch®. You will learn about the sixteen Myers and Briggs personality types based on the work of Dr. Carl Jung. Feel free to browse here for a taste of the application, plus additional resources and an introduction to the theory behind the magic.

Personality Types is a lot more than just a summary of the sixteen types; its “smart” features — the abilities to assess and compare people — allow you to get to the heart of people’s hidden strengths and weaknesses. It’s a great way to learn about type Theory — the definitions and principles behind the sixteen personality types.

DESCRIPTION

What’s your personality? How do you and your loved ones, friends, and co-workers compare? Imagine having quick access to the right keywords to get your point across!

Whether you’re in a boring meeting, on the phone with a challenging client, or dealing with a flustered family member - this application is for you. The essential themes of each personality type are just a tap away. You can also explore each personality in depth: learn a person’s core needs and values, cognitive processes, interaction style, team behavior, pitfalls, growth points, and much more.

You will quickly learn type theory and how to positively influence others using the “Compare” feature. This feature relies on sophisticated algorithms to show you the likely commonalities, differences, and synergies between two people. The algorithms compare communication, problem solving, learning and adaptation, love relationships, growth and change, and more.

IN DEPTH

Personality is far more than superficial traits. Personality reveals motivation and cognition - why and how people act. In short, this application helps you discover what makes people “tick”. When you know why someone needs something, or how they prefer to go about doing a task or interaction, then you have leverage to improve the situation.

For almost six decades, thousands of successful professionals - counselors, teachers, managers, coaches, salespeople, and others - have used the insights of Type Theory. Type Theory is supported by decades of published statistical analysis of over six million people.

The famous and highly respected Dr. Carl Jung first described eight cognitive processes people use. The eight processes combine to match the sixteen personality Types. Thus, when you learn about Type Theory, you learn what occurs on the inside; in a person’s head and heart - and how they relate back-and-forth with others. No other personality theory can give you this picture.

EXPERTISE

This application is the work of renowned Type Theorist and UCLA professor Dario Nardi, PhD, author of numerous books on personality, cognition, and self-leadership. Dr. Nardi has worked with many other experts, including practicing Organizational Development consultants and psychologists. What you get is the product of many minds and personalities, not just one.
