''Please Understand Me: Character and Temperament Types'' is a psychology book written by David Keirsey and Marilyn Bates which focuses on the classification and categorization of personality types. The book contains a self-assessed personality questionnaire, known as the Keirsey Temperament Sorter, which links human behavioral patterns to four temperaments and sixteen character types. Once the reader's personality type has been ascertained, there are detailed profiles which describe the characteristics of that type. Based upon the notion that peoples' values differ fundamentally from one another, Keirsey drew upon the views of several psychologists or psychiatrists: Ernst Kretschmer, Erich Adickes, Alfred Adler, Carl Jung and Isabel Myers who are all mentioned as predecessors in the psychology of temperament or personality.〔Keirsey & Bates (1984), pp. 3-4〕 Of these methods, preference is given to the Myers–Briggs test when determining personality type.〔Keirsey & Bates (1984), p. 4〕 ==Sixteen personality types== Keirsey and Bates offer a personality inventory to help readers identify their type. The sets of indicated preferences create sixteen types: * I or E (Introversion–versus–Extroversion) * N or S (INtuitive–versus–Sensing) * T or F (Thinking–versus–Feeling) * P or J (Perceptive–versus–Judging) An appendix offers a concise profile for each of the sixteen types. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Please Understand Me」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
