    About this audiobook

    The Personality Code clearly and persuasively demonstrates how personality determines why we do what we do and how we can maximize our strengths, work smarter with others, and profit from better relationships in our careers. Based on the IDISC(tm) Personality Profile-an updated and rigorously validated proprietary version of DISC, the world's most popular form of personality testing-the book provides insights and strategies for individuals and organizations that promote self-awareness and foster excellence. Listeners will have free access to the online IDISC(tm) Personality Profile (each book includes a unique code number), which will reveal their own profiles from among the fourteen personality types that have been refined and defined through the author's six-year international study involving more than five hundred thousand participants. Travis Bradberry shows readers how to discern the fixed characteristics that explain three-quarters of human behavior. Most important, they will learn how to leverage these traits in order to capitalize on their strengths and sidestep weaknesses in themselves as well as in other people.

      The beauty of this book is simplicity. Among the numerous personality models, this one keeps it simple. Perhaps a negative, this personality model is based on some older research that is not contemporary--and one assumes that more recent diligence and knowledge academically and research-wise influence more recent models. That said, it measures respondents across four variables, and then comes up with personality types, 14 of them. Examples are Ally, Sponsor, Entreprenuer, Diplomat, that kind of thing. Again on simplicity, there is only 1-2 pages dedicated to each personality type. It covers the research details of the study--which states 500,000 people took the study that resulting in these types. Overall interesting, and kind of fun to try to figure out which personality type you are. All that said, this isn't contemporary, it isn't written by academics steeped in contemporary research, and written by a testing vendor as a clear marketing tool to generate more fees, I expect. The writing is a bit clunky and the editing in the first half of the book is wanting. If you are OK skipping around and want simplicity, this would be appealing.
