This book is a reworking of Brains and Careers, slimmed down, and the Four Roles emphasized even more. This will be the last word on normal human action by Dr. Keirsey. This the final culmination of his study of human behavior, having used his 89 years of life experience in discerning differing preferences of individuals on their inborn natures and to act on those preferences in light of the surrounding circumstances.

From the Inside Flap
You can either play the role of a compliant enterpriser or inquirer, or of an adaptive enterpriser or inquirer. You cannot play all four roles at the same time or place. Nor can you play them equally well, because your temperament limits your choices. Face it-you're born that way, born with a brain that is different from the brains of some of your companions and the same as the brains of your other companions. Nature trumps Nurture everywhere and always. You've either a logistical, or diplomatic, or tactical, or strategic brain to use.

A highly educated mess
By Jonathan Bluestein
Here's the bottom line: buy "Please Understand Me II" - it's a much better book. More practical, interesting, readable and accessible.
This book is a mess. It is an attempt to take the basic premise of Keirsey's serious and valid theories as presented in previous books like Please Understand Me II, and greatly elaborate on them. Didn't work out so well. I really liked Keirsey's past works, and this was a disappointment, even though it still had lots of insight, and some good parts to it.
Sadly, this book was not written for ordinary people. It was written for one of two types of people:
1. People whose personality type is INTP like Keirsey's, and are versed in MBTI.
2. People who're REALLY into MBTI, have read Keirsey's past works and liked them a lot, and are interested in getting some fresh ideas which expand upon Keirsey's theories.
As an INTJ, I belong in the second group. I still feel as if this book is troublesome to read, to say the least. Keirsey has a fetish for words, which is an INTP thing to have. This has gone overboard. Oftentimes, one is not sure if Keirsey had been at times confused, and was writing a dictionary instead of a non-fiction book. There's a hell of a lot of discussion on words. There are many lists of words. There is much background given on the historical origins of words and the roots of words. Even as a fellow NT, this is too much. I couldn't stand it. Sometimes, it feels as if Keirsey likes his words more than he likes human beings. There are certainly more word-lists in this book than there are concrete, real-life examples of human behavior (which are generally lacking in this work for some reason).
Another major problem is Keirsey's assumptions on evolutionary psychology. In general, I accept his idea with regard to the various types as they are today probably being representations of evolutionary pressures in primeval human groups. However, here again Keirsey goes overboard with his INTP thing. Instead of actually referencing some work or research in either evolutionary psychology and/or anthropology, he constructs purely from his imagination stories of how hunter-gatherer societies must have behaved, and how this all correlates with his theories. Now, his stories are well constructed and plausible, BUT HE HAS NO PROOF WHATSOEVER!! It was one thing if he were to say he's just assuming, but these stories, as well as many other assumptions in the book, are presented as "facts".
There are many other issues with the book I won't trouble you with. It's a good piece of work in a messed up format, and is oftentimes genuinely lacking a human feel to it. Buy it only if you belong in one of the above-mentioned groups. Don't bother otherwise.

Not the book for the general public
By Rich alternate history since 1958
Personology is the completion of the revised 4 temperament model first presented in Portraits of Temperament ( 1987 ), and used in Keirsey's later works. The 8 Jungian function types are replaced by 8 intelligence types. The intelligence types are the 4 temperaments, each having 2 subtypes, and minus extroversion and introversion. Then each of the 2 subtypes is itself split into 2 more subtypes called proactive and reactive, for a total of 16 types.... This books completes the explanation of Keirsey's model.
But, this book is not the one for the general public should buy, that book is Please Understand Me II. I started with the original Please Understand Me, and it really helped me understand my co-workers, who with one exception, turned to be all the SJ temperament. Both understand me books have large sections on mating, children and children from a 4 temperament viewpoint This book is too specialized! It was a birthday present, I would have had to have given it some thought, if I were buying it myself.

An unapologetic treatise on human behavior
By Karl D. Schultheisz
Keirsey takes on the immense task of diffentiating human behavior into useful categories. He has written on this before; Please Understand Me II is perhaps his most popular work, written in 1998. That book was written more for the common person, in a style that masked Keirsey's razor-sharp analysis. Granted, the book still makes a powerful analysis, but bends over backwards to make it more accessible. As a result, the ideas lose a bit of precision.
In this book, Keirsey takes off the mask and shares more details and more angles of his analysis. His discovery, which inherits a rich lineage of ideas over millenia, is that there are precisely four distinct manifestations of human behavior, and they are distinct on an individual basis. One's temperament is innate. Keirsey does not apologize for this idea, since he wants to very clearly distinguish it from other views in psychology.
In the task of differentiating behavior, Keirsey must articulate these differences very clearly. He is therefore forced to use words in very particular ways; ways that may seem odd to those who have never had to be so precise with human language. As a result, he faces the problem of choosing which words are most appropriate for a given idea, and often the choice is too difficult to make. So yes, Personology contains a lot of words. (It is, after all, a book). In this, I suggest that patience is necessary; the ideas are subtle, and it is not easy for Keirsey or anybody else to make such a statement without wrestling with words. Therefore accept that this is a book to savor; it is not meant to be plowed through in a few days. I find that it suits my natural reading style, which is to simply crack the book open to a random page and flip through until I find something that catches my eye.
A mess? Perhaps in manifest, but not in principle; Personology represents the height of Keirsey's effort on understanding human behavior. Unlike other theories of psychology, it is coherent and consistent. It has no unnecessary parts. Yes, it would be much easier to write a book that is vague and has needless concepts, since this is the status-quo. One is certainly free to read another book and learn perhaps a hundredth of what you would learn from Personology. But if you must know, read Personology and you will know.
