 A Mentor on Your Bookshelf January 16, 2010

This is one of my favorite career books. It's completely engaging, highly practical, and a fun read too. From the Color Q Personality Style Self-Assessment quick quiz in the beginning to the profiles of numerous fascinating people and how they've matched their careers to their personalities, this book is top notch. Zichy even has a chapter titled "Money and Compensation" in which she aptly notes: "For all Color Q personalities, money itself is a mirror of self-worth or a means to an end. But how we negotiate our salaries, manage our budgets, and save for important goals is very much driven by our primary and secondary Color Q personalities. Each Color has a different unique competence when handling this all-important aspect of life." Zichy certainly nailed how I negotiation compensation given my Color Q type and her tips were invaluable. The final section of the book, "Creating a Customized Roadmap for Your Professional Life," is an invaluable tool that delivers just that. Career Match is the closest thing to a mentor on your bookshelf.
Enjoyable and Useful! January 16, 2010

A great and enjoyable book. Easy reading and lots of information that is applicable to anyone. I was surprised how accurate the tests were and how easy they were to understand and remember.

It's amazing how the author condensed and simplified almost 100 years of Myers-Briggs research into a 10-minute quiz. What's even more incredible is that the quiz accurately identifies your strengths and potential career paths. Shoya Zichy obviously knows how tedious it is to take those 100-question assessments because this book gets right to the point: take the 10-minute quiz and then just read about your own personality type. This book should be a model for other self-help books. Unlike other self-help books, this book is clear and well-organized which make the information actionable.
Wonderful book! December 28, 2009

Based on the reviews, some people love this book, writing about how accurate it was. Some people have said it was 'just another personality test.' I think both are true. This is a good, quick way to identify your core strengths and weaknesses and how to exploit and deal with them.
More importantly, however, this book is an excellent tool for people to use in their daily lives. I think the most useful part of this book is the way it breaks down the other personality types. Not only do you see how to identify them, you can gain insight about how other people's minds work. Sometimes personality clashes can be eased by an understanding of how each other's minds work. If you are clashing with someone at work or want to learn how to better manage a difficult employee, chapter 25 helps you identify a person's color profile, and you can refer to their chapter to see what they thrive on. As someone in the HR field, I plan on using this for years. Good book for personal development, great one for interpersonal communication.
