From the Back Cover

'A brilliant exploration of our personality differences.'
JOHN GRAY, author of 'Men Are From Mars, Women Are From Venus'

'This wonderful book tells you not only who you think your are, but also, and more importantly, gives you tools to find out who you really are.'
KEITH FERREL, editor of 'Omni'

'This book helps us take a significant step forward in the eternal human quest to know ourselves and to see ourselves as others see us. The personality tests are easy to score and the results should contribute to increased self-understanding and better relationships with others.'
JONATHAN CHEEK, Ph.D., author of 'Conquering Shyness'

Now available in this fun and easy do-it-yourself format: the groundbreaking method of personality assessment heralded in 'Omni' and 'Psychology Today' that offers a dynamic system of self discovery.

Based on more than five decades of scientific research, the Berkeley Personality Profile is unlike any other method of personality assessment. Instead of labelling you a 'type', the Berkeley Personality Profile reveals the multi-dimensional you: how you see yourself 'and' how others see you in a variety of real-life contexts. By illuminating shifting patterns in the way you relate to family, friends, lovers, work, emotions, and intellectual pursuits – and by incorporating feedback from significant people in your life – 'Who Do You Think You Are?' helps you

· learn how to interact with others more effectively
· compare and resolve different perceptions of your personality
· recognize and change recurrent patterns in your life
· integrate the inner experience and outer expression of your unique personality, and
· explore and work toward your ideal self

Harary and Donahue provide the tools for eye-opening self awareness through clear and concise personality tests, accessible interpretations, thoughtful guidelines for reflecting on your results, and perceptive approaches to personalising the insights you gain. Bringing state-of-the -art scientific findings to the age-old quest to know thyself, 'Who Do Think You Are?' provides a unique, multifaceted mirror in which to examine – and honour – the many sides of your personality.
