The Personality Brokers
Merve EmreThe Myers-Briggs Type Indicator is the most popular personality test in the world. It is used regularly by Fortune 500 companies, universities, hospitals, churches, and the military.

"[I]nventive and beguiling. . . .The Personality Brokers is history that reads like biography that reads like a novel—a fluid narrative that defies expectations and plays against type." — New York Times Book Review
