This textbook was incredibly easy to read and understand. Even if a person hasn't had any other experience in psychology courses, this book explains each concept thoroughly enough that it isn't necessary.

Of course this is a textbook I had for a college course. Mind you, it is a learning compilation and not fiction. I have found this book extremely informative and intriguing. The aspects of personality traits, theories, etc are discussed and measured. If you are interested in learning more about personality theories, this is a wonderfully structured book to read.
