It also gives examples of how/when the processes are used and comments from people that self-identify as that type (tho I'm always skeptical about those being from mistyped persons, I haven't seen anything thats made me cringe as plain wrong so far.) It may be addressed in later chapters, but the weakness is that it really only shows each process in its dominant form, so trying to use the material to identify auxiliary, tertiary or aspirational process isn't quite as helpful (its still good for understanding the processes, but some of the descriptions are things I think will only show up as a dominant process).
Thanks for you review! I think I'm going to order at least Building Blocks of Personality Type. I think I won't order the other book you mentioned (The 16 Personality Types, Descriptions for Self-Discovery).
