Book Recommendation #125

‘Positive Personality Profiles’ (Robert A. Rohm, Ph.D.) ~~~> An excellent read for anyone who deals with people, which, frankly, would be .. a LOT of us! I’d strongly recommend pairing this book with ‘Personality Plus’ (Florence Littauer) to have a very wide & deep understanding of the traits, social styles, & temperaments which comprise the whole of humanity. Having head Dr. Rohm talk of his D.I.S.C. profile on an audio recording previous to investing in this book, I had a good inkling of what he would discuss — unquestionably, though, being able to study his written words made it all the more valuable. The most incisive chapters are 2-5, and 11-14, as he breaks down each of the personalities in both broad brush strokes & later on, in tactical, specific application. For those who own businesses or are in professions that involve students, chapters 9 & 10 are excellent add-ons! As the Dr., shares in the preface: “… if I understand you and you understand me, doesn’t it make sense that we can have a better relationship?”
