MBTI for Writers and Editors, Nov 22 2007
By John M. Ford "johnDC" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Writetype: Personality Types and Writing Styles (Paperback)
WriteType is a useful application of MBTI personality typing to the work of writing and managing writers. Almost 25 years old, it escapes datedness through the continued popularity of the Myers-Briggs personality framework and the absence of any more recent application of the MBTI to writing. It's worth a quick first read and a place on your desk for later reference.Following a concise description of personality typing, Gladis introduces his classification of writers into Correspondents (SF), Technical Writers (ST), Creative Writers (NF), and Analytical Writers (NT). This scheme structures the rest of the book as the author explores the strengths, weaknesses and preferences of these four writing types. The book closes with a discussion of how different types of writers work together in teams and how they can best be managed.
This book is both well written and well designed. Particularly useful is the one-page "Thumbnail Personality Sketch" that allows readers to quickly estimate their own personality types, making the remainder of the book more relevant and useful. Thoughtfully distilled summary tables emphasize differences between writers in basic approach to writing, use of prewriting techniques, drafting strategies, editing styles, and response to team assignments and feedback.
The author's other books on writing, Survival Writing for Business and Manager's Pocket Guide to Effective Writing, are also recommended. Readers desiring a more detailed, but still informal introduction to personality types will enjoy People Types & Tiger Stripes. Readers should be aware that the "Big 5" approach to personality has accrued more research support for employment selection than the MBTI. The Owner's Manual for Personality at Work is a readable and nontechnical introduction to this more current view of personality in the work setting.
