It is hard to overstate the value and importance of knowing who you are. After all, who you understand yourself to be, your sense of self and identity, influences everything; it is the compass we use to navigate life. Your personality type is an integral part of who you are. Knowing and understanding your type (e.g., INFP) can bring confidence and direction in your life's path. But like countless others, you may be unsure of your true type, perhaps feeling “stuck in the middle” between two or three types.
My True Type was carefully researched and written to address these issues. It will equip you with the knowledge and skills required to clarify and better understand your personality type, preferences, and functions. If you really want to know yourself better and gain clarity in your life, this book is for you. Some of its main features include
• Type Clarifier Assessment. This brand new personality inventory is composed of two parts. Part I is designed to clarify your personality preferences (E, I, S, N, T, F, J, P) , while Part II focuses on clarifying your functions (Se, Si, Ne, Ni, Te, Ti, Fe, Fi). Instructions are then provided for integrating these results in order to identify your true type.
• Numerous tips and strategies for identifying and clarifying your type
• In-depth analyses of each of the personality preferences and functions
• Identification of and explanations for common “mistypings” (e.g., introverts mistyping as extraverts, etc.)
• Clear explanations of type theory, including the nuts and bolts of the functional stack and how the preferences link up with the functions
The book also addresses a number of “frequently asked questions” such as
• Can my personality type change over time?
• Is it possible to be an “x-type,” to have no true preference at all (e.g., ExFP)?
• Are some types (or functions) more “right-brained” or “left-brained?”
• How does gender affect personality type, especially T-F differences?
My True Type Clarifying Your Personality Type Preferences Functions eBook Dr AJ Drenth
A VERY detailed book about personality type with regard to the Meyers/Briggs assessments ( hence the very significant word "Clarifying" in the title of the book) . I especially enjoyed his chapter about introverted intuition (Ni). He was so accurate in so many places in that chapter about that aspect of my personality type that I have the bulk of the chapter highlighted on my kindle version.I gave it 5 stars because it was what I needed at this point ( greater detail and clarity), having studied already fairly extensively on this subject. However, if one is new to this topic, this book would undoubtedly be overwhelming. I would check out the author's excellent website to get a general overview first. He does have other books that were written prior to this one, so maybe one of them has more of an introductory tone.
One caveat to my 5 star rating however, is that I have noticed in various places in his writings ( on his website and a few places in this book) that he seems to be of the opinion ( and is not alone in it) that it's fairly impossible for a woman to be a "thinking" type.
I have tested REPEATEDLY on many, many tests as an INTJ. To be honest, as a female, I would rather NOT be an INTJ. I have always gotten along much better with male friends than female, which can then be the impetus of some confusing, mixed feelings ( mostly on the part of the male). I have struggled since childhood to understand human emotion and I do not have Aspergers ( to my knowledge). Looking back on some of my friendships with females, I realize now, as a 45 year old female who has learned more about emotions simply through observation , that I must have seemed like such a non-feeling friend to them.
One quick example was when I was in high school. My best female friend had finally been given permission by her father to drive his classic car to school. The man doted on that car and threatened her with lifetime grounding if she so much as scratched it. She insisted on picking me up for school in the car and we were both thrilled to drive it. However, after school, in front of the building, in the midst of the harried bustle of high schoolers being released for the day, my friend rear- ended the car in front of her, totaling her father's classic Mustang. As my friend sat in a heap on the driver's side seat, crying her eyes out, one would think that I would have thought to console her. However, in my typical INTJ manner, my default thinking pattern was "Why did we rear-end the car? Did the brakes fail? Why did this happen?" I wanted to figure out if there was some type of mechanical malfunction to account for the accident. I didn't ever actually console her. It never even occurred to me that she was feeling devastated about what her dad would say or how he would feel, until years later. I simply didn't take emotions into account. I have learned, mostly through observing "feeler" female friends how to relate to other women in an emotional way. My adult daughter is an INFJ and I had to learn as I was raising her how to actually empathize with her emotions instead of trying to always fix things. It's a struggle for me! But I do love deeply, and am devoted to my loved ones. However, I am definitely NOT a feeler simply because I am a female. I realize that the author is making generalizations based on the percentages being in the other direction from who I am, but I did find it to be mildly offensive. There are actually INTJ women in existence. And it's not necessarily pleasant for us.
Having said that, I do appreciate the articles on his website and have very much enjoyed gleaning further insight from this book. I intend to purchase a copy for my daughter, who had also studied the subject extensively.

My True Type Clarifying Your Personality Type Preferences Functions eBook Dr AJ Drenth Reviews
I was excited to get up each morning to read a chapter. And because this was presented differently it was as though I was part of a story. And I ws getting more comfortable with the fact that all of our children and grandchildren are not miniature copies of me. I began to see how I could empathize with our daughters as I could see things more like they have been seeing them and placing priorities in a different order. And I can begin to start striving to have more compassion.
So, I took the Appendix I Clarifier Assessment and I integrated Part I and Part II and discovered that I am 99% sure I am an ISTJ Personality Type.
The best thing I got out of all of this is I see people more as individuals, created differently and not a copy of the Toy Soldiers from Santa Claus 2!
WOW! I love it!
Dr. Drenth,
As an INFJ in a society that seems to only invest long-term in EST types, I want to tell you how much I appreciated this remarkable work, especially your chapter on Functions, which is an area that other Myers-Briggs books skip rocks over.
Reading through it was like watching you pull each individual part of who I am out of a treasure chest,
show me its unique size, shape and color in the sunlight,
then turn me by the shoulder to witness the glittering spectrum that I alone was making on the walls of this world.
I went from "I'll never fit in anywhere", to understanding my strengths are actually the envy of others around me.
This meant more to me than you will ever know.
Not only have your clarifications helped me narrow my focus about what careers to pursue for sustainable happiness,
it gave me the language I needed to better articulate my value as I market myself to potential clients or employers.
The only thing I would change about your book would be its cover (which, forgive me, looks a little "indie") and its current level of popularity. It should be a must-read in every high school health or history curriculum.
I know we don't always figure out who we actually are until we get out and test our stamina in the workplace, but I truly do wish I had known these things earlier (along with the economic factors attached to certain majors). My career choices (and long-term debt load which affected later career choices) would have been so much better informed.
Please keep writing.
This book discusses the Myers-Briggs types and associated functionality in clear and focused ways. The author introduces many of the subtleties and complexities he sees to be associated with this categorization system. In the end, although we obtain a very complex picture, the author's perspective on assessing type is well-presented. I think a major problem with assessment is that it must, ultimately, rely on our subjective assessments, and how well the associated personality patterns we infer are correlated with our actual social behavior in the world. The relativity and ambiguity involved in such assessment is evident. Sorting through the ambiguity, and addressing relative subjective measures is a major and difficult task in assessment of personality. We must too, I think, answer the question, with respect to such a complex categorization, of why carry through a process that, in the end, may only display our subjective and rather biased viewpoints on our behavior. I think that Dr. Drenth's book is at least a good start on this process of type clarification, understanding and importance. I recommend it as an overall interesting and revealing viewpoint.
