Title: Four dimensions of the Big 5
Review: The authors present their personality typology as being based on the "classic" four personality types (or temperaments).However, if you compare their "typology" with the standard definitions of the five factor model, the correlations are pretty obvious:North = ExtraversionWest = Openness to ExperienceSouth = AgreeablenessEast = Conscientiousness(Note that the Neuroticism domain is not covered).For me, this rules out the fact that you are one type, or maybe a combination of two, because Big5 says we have ALL FIVE domains present in our personality.If you ever have taken a Big5 test (like for instance the NEO-PI-R), then this book might be useful to get another set of descriptions of four of the five domains.
