TYPE TALK
I ordered Type Talk and it was in the mail a few days later. The experience was very good.

Excellent Read
I am an adult educator in the leadership and management field, one of the instruments we use is MBTI. This a great primer for basic understanding of type. One of the authors, Otto Kroeger is probably the best trainer on type around. He is extremely gifted at teaching others to truly understand personality types - his book does a great job of that as well. If you want to add to your type training materials, or simply want a good understanding this book is for you!

A Must Have
This book was recommended to me by someone who is trained in Personality Types. I took the questionnaire with this person so this book is the 'companion' to the work I've been doing. But, it is not necessary to use the book along with a professional!!
Type Talk is written very well, easy to understand, with a lot of examples. It's not written in a technical fashion, so any lay person can understand what is discussed.
As far as the information: packed full. This is a great book. I'm thinking of picking up a few copies for some people close to me. (I'd give them my copy when I'm done but I'm going to hang on to for future reference!) The authors don't expect the book to be the final, end-all problem solver. Rather, it's a tool to understand the way people tend to act, think and talk.
It's great for figuring out relationships at home, work or with friends and why we all react the way we do. I highly recommend it.

Typing method flawed
Morphological
You can't really tell what personality type a person is just by using the guide in this book, you need Socionic's morphological method in order to get trough that first step. It's a great book once you know what personality types everybody is.
There are other serious problems with the typelogic tests. The one you take on typelogic dot com determines your internal self. Myself for example-internally I am ESTJ but in reality I am INFJ (ESTJ is my dual-the person who is the best match for my personality type). Second, as you can see from my example of testing ESTJ my internal dual-seeking self is manifesting outwardly flawing the results of the test thereby putting you in a pool of people you wouldn't get along with. For correct results-type yourself using How to Find Yourself and Your Best Match Socionics by Rod Novichkov then take the MBTI test and you'll know exactly what I'm talking about.

Can't put it down.
This book is an amazing introduction to Typology. I started reading it and could not put it down. There is so much useful information in this book that can only help you when you have dealings with others. It can also help you learn a great deal about yourself. The authors pointed out that was the main purpose of this book.For example is was able to determine that I am a INFP. I also learned that it's very uncommon to be an INFP, being a male. I was also able to learn what types of work envoirnments I work well in, what types of careers people with my type are attracted too, what other types I correspond with best, and much more. Also finding out that all of my poor Introverted people were persecuted for being so quiet, and often recieved constant day-to-day pressure to get out and be normal (so I'm not alone). Not realizing that this behavior could not be more normal. This book is a very easy and enjoyable read. Everything is well organized and laid out. The authors use alot of conversation examples between different personality types, often a riot to read, it also makes a point about different types of people, which really helped me the most. This book has so much to offer, everybody can benefit greatly from it.
