Inside your brain are many keys to what make you and others tick. Imagine peering into the minds of your clients, friends, and loved-ones. Now you can! Award-winning UCLA professor and author Dario Nardi brings to life a feast of useful insights drawn from his brain research lab. He will lead you on a journey of self-discovery, chapter by chapter, that is grounded in first-hand scientific knowledge of the brain. This is a practical guide. Learn how to target "in flow" and "low-threshold" activities that engage people creatively and improve their work-flow and learning. Identify people's struggles and stress areas, including "high-threshold" activities for which a person may avoid or do poorly. You will also enjoy a bird's eye view that summarizes many key aspects of the brain all in one place, in everyday language with case studies, work spaces, and visual maps. New to personality type? This book introduces the basics of the 16 Myers-Briggs types, four temperaments, and eight Jungian cognitive processes. Worksheets guide readers to locate their best-fit personality type code. Fans of Carl Jung's work and the Myers-Briggs personality types will be pleased to learn there is strong neurological validity in the brain for eight distinct cognitive processes and sixteen types. Amaze people with cool insights and implications for how people operate! You may even learn which part of your head to point to and say, "This is where I'm thinking right now."

5.0 out of 5 stars Real science makes this the most useful Jung / MBTI / Typology book on the market today.
Reviewed in the United States on 13 January 2018

Neuroscience of Personality is one of the most useful books about psychology that I've ever owned, and is one of the few that I refer back to several times a month - my copy, bought more than a year ago, has a litany of scribbles in the margins as well as colored sticky tabs erupting from it. Despite an intimidating title, Dario Nardi has written a book for all levels of knowledge; the book is not only easily understood, but it helps you understand others better.

Neuroscience of Personality brings the scientific method to bear on the work begun by Carl Jung in Psychological Types, and I consider Nardi's descriptions of the eight Jungian functions and their basis in EEG-derived data to be an essential companion to what Jung began. If you have both books, I highly recommend reading each chapter that Jung wrote about each function, and then reading what the data Nardi collected suggest about these methods of cognition - for me, it was illuminating.

There are a lot of books out there about MBTI and personality theory. This is best one I've found, because it is based on data, not self-reporting. Nardi spends time explaining how he acquired the data used in the book so you as a reader can understand the advantages and the limitations of EEG-based research; he does not write as if he as found Every Answer (tm), but suggests a future path of inquiry and presents the reader with many useful takeaways of what he's encountered thus far.

5.0 out of 5 stars Interesting Read if you work with MBTI
Reviewed in the United States on 21 March 2023

I love this book. I've used the MBTI for years in PreMarital Counseling, Marriage Counseling and Career Counseling that I do as a Pastor. It's interesting to learn about the neuroscience and brain studies Dr. Nardi has done and tied it into MBTI types. It helped me see why I used to score ENFJ on the MBTI and more recently ESFJ. My job requires I use a slightly different mix of cognitive functions that map to adjoining areas of brain functioning. Very interesting read and practical to understanding human thinking and personality energies and preferences.

It claims to be scientific and cool, but in reality there's nothing scientific in this book. The author is a con artist, cashing-off MBTI crowd.

5.0 out of 5 stars A refreshing contribution to personality type...
Reviewed in the United States on 14 January 2012

This book is friendly to readers of all levels. Whether you are new to personality typing or familiar with Jung and Myers-Briggs, this book offers a basic foundation to personality typing and introduces new studies using EEG and brain mapping techniques to combine personality theory with neuroscience. Best of all, the book speaks to the reader and how this information can be applied in a helpful manner for personal development. If you are looking to learn more about personality type, basic neuroscience with an emphasis on psychology, or just general self study and improvement, this is the book for you.

Perhaps my favorite part is the integrity and utility of the research is very clear. The book fully documents how the information was gathered, addresses practical limitations to the study, and explains exactly how the data can be of use. The language is concise emphasizing quality and content. The goals, practical applications, and scope of the material covered are immediately made clear to the reader, so there is no need to filter through pseudo-intellectual garbage, an all-too common offense in many psychology books.
