[Kiersey] Presidential Temperament

[highlander]

If you are interested in leadership and type, this is sort of an interesting book. There is a short biography on every president through George Bush and the author identifies the Kiersey temperament associated with each (it's written by David Kiersey). I guess the typing seems pretty accurate. It says that Jefferson and Lincoln were NTPs, Eisenhower and both John Adams were NTJs, Roosevelts and Kennedy were STPs, and a whole bunch like Nixon, Truman and Carter were STJs. There have been no presidents that were idealists (NFs). You don't get the whole MBTI type though, which was a little disappointing.

I give this three stars. I got bored with the details of each president but did enjoy finding out what Keirsey thought their type was.
