Review of 'Personality : what makes you the way you are' on 'Goodreads'

3 stars

Factually, it's fine.

From a entertainment perspective, it's a bit shit. It falls into the traps of using the predictable examples, and in a number of cases assumes the reader will be coming from the same perspective as the author, that is a white British man. It seems a lot like for a lot of the examples the author only has a vague notion of what the experience is like and he could have spent more time learning about these experiences before using them.

If you want a good summary of the big five and can cringe your way though some awkward examples it's not bad.
