Buss/Larsen put this book together very well and included all the important facts on personality. I really enjoyed the different self tests that were included.Amazon 5 star review wrote wrote:This is an excellent book: well-written, up-to-date, comprehensive. It is more to the point than many undergrad psych textbooks. I find many other books too conversational. This book, Personality Psychology, gets to the point; explains concepts very thoroughly and it is not overly dense or difficult to read. Also — this may not be terribly important for most undergrads — the index and bibliographies are very useful.Amazon 5 star review wrote:A very well-written and detailed book about the psychological study of personality. Many different approaches to studying personality are discussed as are a few different models. The 16PF, NEO-PI, and Eyenck’s model are discussed and the influence of environment on your genetic heritability for personality is also included (epigenetics).A very challenging topic was approached in a way that made it easy to understand.May you find peace, happiness and prosperity,Aeon
