Description

Many people assume that all human beings are ruled by the same basic desires, motivations, or instincts.  That assumption leads to considerable misunderstandings between people.  In reality, there are both similarities and differences between people.  The Myers-Briggs Type Indicator is an extremely useful and practical tool for achieving the understanding of those similarities and differences of others.
