Colorful and thorough nonfiction title that provides a comprehensive understanding of personality types through several approaches. A vital teaching tool to empower students to fully understand their inherent style.

Kids who like to take personality quizzes will love this book. It offers some unique information compared to your typical questionnaire. Kids can also share the quizzes with their family so they can compare notes. Looking forward to similar books like this for kids.

While this book fills a gap in the ideas of psychology and personality for younger readers it's not very well done. Books like "how to be a genius" are better illustrated and more informative. Light-weight and just adequate.

What's Your Personality by Francesca Potts is a fun-filled children's book that teaches children how to figure out what type of personality they have. The book discusses traits and how our personalities are formed from the moment we are born and continues to form from our experiences and relationships in life. It covers a little bit of history and also discusses the Myers-Briggs personality test and how to obtain your four-letter result.

The Myers-Briggs formula given was maybe a little too simplified and easy to get an incorrect result. Obviously, you need to take some personality tests that have more questions to get a more accurate result custom to you, but it's good for kids to understand the general fun way their personalities can be discovered. I thought the glossary was helpful and also the added resources page where kids can explore more.

Very quick and interesting read! I enjoyed that the writing was both interesting and engaging but written at a level that the children could understand.

This is a decent book for kids to learn about personality. The layout is colorful and fun. The book is part history about personality theories and part personality sorters, and the sorters could have been done better. Obviously they needed to be greatly simplified, but the Meyers-Briggs sorter was adapted in a way that made it no longer accurate. Also, even though it is a book for kids and the author wanted to get them excited about the topic, there are too many exclamation points in the writing.
