DISCOVERING YOUR DOG TYPE introduces a new system to understand yourself and others by knowing the type of dog you like most or least and assessing the type of dog others are most like. You do so by using the personality profiles featuring the different personality types and characteristics of these dogs.
The system can help you improve relationships in your personal life or at work, since you know how to better interact and communicate with others based on their overall style – such as whether they are more like a German Shepherd, Golden Retriever, Pomeranian, or Border Collie.
Besides providing these insights, the Dog Type approach is also a fun way to better get to know yourself and others.
The book is ideal for anyone interested in personality tests, personality types, personality profiles, personality assessment, personality characteristics, and personality psychology. It combines the different systems for personality typing with the personalities of different dog breeds.
