Personality Type by Lenore ThomsonĪt over 400 pages, this book is a deep dive into the Jungian side of Myers-Briggs theory. This book outlines his view of the MBTI in great detail.

It also covers the basics of type development, especially in children and adolescents. It outlines the personality framework and its relationship with Jung’s theory. This is another classic Myers-Briggs book, written by Isabel Briggs Myers herself, who refined Jung’s original theory and launched it into the popular imagination with her mother, Katherine Cook Briggs, in the mid-20th century.

The body of the book only covers the basics but there is an appendix that dives into the more advanced Jungian aspects of the MBTI. This book is also peppered with funny little cartoons that illustrate the characteristics and eccentricities of each type. I’m a big fan of Renee Baron’s books on personality theory because she makes the complexities of the MBTI seem simple.
