Not specifically about "couples" relationships, if the content is taken off is context it helps understand some of the workplace behaviour and offers suggestions on how to find a mutual ground. The classification is practical and has a comprehensive spectrum of psychological archetypes: enneagrams, MBTI, ....etc
But emphasises on the MBTI approach.

Cartea e bine scrisa si ofera multe informatii, insa nu este chiar ceea ce ma asteptam. Poate recenzia este influentata si de faptul ca citisem ceva asemanator inainte si deja informatia nu a mai fost ceva nou. E o carte buna, dar nu e ceva neaparat de recomandat.

Interesting and helpful when rethinking my approach to relationships in my life, if a bit basic

Nu ma asteptam sa imi placa atat de mult. Toate testele si ilustratiile din carte mi s-au parut uimitoare. M-a si ajutat sa imi dau seama de cateva chestii.

Admittedly, I'm single, so picking up this book may seem an odd choice, but I have to say, I related more to what was said about my type in this book than in almost anything else I've ever read. It also gave me some insights into what may be causing clashes with other relationships in my life, and perhaps what I should do to help make things smoother there.

Interesting presentation of the Myers-Briggs that is pretty decent for lay people. I picked up a few pointers that will help, I think, with character development. It's an easy read with easy quizzes you can do in a day.

Uses the Myers Briggs personality type to figure out if you match your partner. (Hint: all types can match if you work at it) The cartoons, though simple, were hilarious.
