Exploring Personality Type: Creating a Personal Path for Success

Written for high school students as a companion piece to the Murphy-Meisgeier Type Indicator for Children® assessment, Exploring Personality Type: Creating a Personal Path for Success is about the unique ways they like to learn, think, and act as they go through life. This book can be used both in the classroom with teachers and at home with parents. Students will see themselves in the descriptions of the distinctive personalities and learning styles, because these descriptions are based on years of careful observations of real people. They may also see some of their friends, parents, or teachers . . . and maybe even some of those characters read about in English class. Included are type verification activities to help them better understand their personality type preferences and choose their best-fit type. Also included are strategies for career exploration and common career choices by each of the 16 psychological types. Each of us is a unique combination of interests, strengths, and yes, things we wish we could do a little better. Inside is a guide to gaining a deeper understanding of type, suggestions for using natural strengths to make learning easier (and sometimes even fun), and fresh ways to appreciate why people do what they do.
