This book includes the following;
-Essays clearly and thoroughly explaining the foundations of typology.
-An outline of the most important features of typology such as functions, attitudes and their relations to applied typology.
-Critique of other typological works such as Keirsey's Please Understand me and Lenor Thomson's Personality Type, an Owner's manual.
-A list of typological terms where a clear and a specific definition has been provided.
-A lengthy profile for each type, especially lengthy for each Intuitive type.
-Short guide regarding how to acquire knowledge in applied typology and how applied typology is distinct from pure. Furthermore, keeping this distinction in mind, the guide is concerned with how and to what extent we can integrate our inquiry into pure typology into the empirical method of investigation.
In summary this book outlines in a very systematic and rigorous way the following; what we already know about typology, our method for acquisition of further knowledge, and prunes away many misleading notions that others hold to be true about typology today.
Principles of Typology is devoted to the advanced student of the subject who wishes to attain a deeper understanding of the subject to think more clearly and rigorously about typology. This is the regard this book is different from that of popularizers of typology, like David Keirsey for example. Very few compromises of rigor and depth of inquiry have been made in favor of clarity of exposition. However, an advanced student of the subject should find the text very readable.
