If you think we're all pretty much the same you won't get very far understanding the people around you.

This practical guide to personality types reveals whether you and the people around you are: extrovert; sharers; intuitive; logical; dreamers; pro-active; optimistic; risk-takers; rule-breakers; or one of many other types. Find out how different personality types react to certain situations: decision-making; group situations; stress; and conflicts.
