Introduction: Many of us have taken personality tests, but my style of engaging with Type is more personal, deep, effective and accurate for clients. Written tests often lead people to answer how they wish they were as opposed to how they actually are. However, in conversations with me, my client and I arrive at a more accurate portrait of the person, by getting to know them in the context of their life. Every Type has unique strengths, and every Type can thrive in every career - all the more so with self-awareness, which is what we start building with you. The "ah ha" moments - the "that is so my boyfriend," or "that is exactly my boss," "I see, I can really handle this situation/relationship more effectively going forward" - instances when people gain crystal-clear awareness of something they'd only vaguely sensed in the past.

I wanted to take this opportunity to thank Jim for the outstanding contribution he has made to both my professional as well as personal well-being. I have met Jim at a point in time when I was struggling with my graduate studies (I was a Ph.D student at the time), as I faced difficult and seemingly insurmountable personality clashes that threatened to get in the way of my work and career. We met in a non-professional setting, but our friendship had a deep (and professional!) impact on me. Jim's unique views on personality types and relationships between them were at times so insightful that they felt revolutionary! He opened my eyes as to how an extrovert like myself needs to be in order to not only avoid conflicts, but to maximize the benefits arising from these personality differences. He helped me see my weakness but also my strengths, and the awareness of these was critical in allowing me to create more productive and pleasant interactions. The biggest surprise though was the effect that his ideas had on my personal life, where I found myself being more empathetic, understanding, and socially courageous. Sometimes learning from his ideas , and often from his own adoption of these principles, Jim provided an invaluable benefit to my life.

My session with Jim could not have been more helpful; it provided me with an interesting perspective on both my personal and professional relationships. I was most amazed to see Jim analyze with such accuracy people with personalities different from my own. As a recent college graduate new to the work force, constantly fighting with my emotional struggles while working with exactly people of all sorts of personalities, I found that Jim was not only able to help me understand the peculiar characteristics of my various professional relationships, but also to accept and appreciate this diversity. I am very grateful to Jim for his advice as to how to potentially handle and make use of the personality differences between people to excel, and I am eager to put it into practice. Equally surprisingly, many areas of improvement that Jim has suggested are precisely those I have gotten feedback on at work. For example, he cautioned against allowing the tree to block the forest and jumping to conclusions without sufficiently thorough consideration. These, among other characteristics, can be attributed to the personality types of those I associate myself with. Jim did a great job helping me to recognize my weaknesses in interpersonal relationships and to provide suggestions as to how I might become more capable of working with people of different personalities from my own.

Working with Jim to evaluate my personality type was an incredibly enlightening and enriching experience that has completely changed the way I think about how I interact with the people around me (both personally and professionally). Jim is highly knowledgeable about his field and after only a short conversation (approx. 1 hour) he was able to provide me with a much better understanding of myself than I could ever have hoped to gain through personal introspection only. After identifying my type, he was able to provide me with fantastic concrete advice/recommendations about how to apply my self learning to improve family relationships and team dynamics at work. Jim is easy to talk to, intelligent, and very professional. I wish more people used his services because if everyone was privy to a better understanding of themselves I think the world would be a better place. I intend to have Jim work with some of my teammates in my office in the future to help improve our overall team dynamics.

Jim introduced me to the idea of personality types and before our conversation I didn't know anything about it. After the first session it was obvious to me that he is really talented for guiding the person in a direction of clear understanding and getting the feeling of what personality types are and how they manifest in the real life. He is capable of guessing personality type even without following the standard procedure and series of questions, which in my opinion demonstrates the depth of his knowledge and experience. I would highly recommend him and personality type sessions for anyone who is interested in better understanding of themselves and people around them.

I gave a 4 because I want people to take my review seriously. Jim, is on the frontier of something big. The value inherent in these discussions was not only clear to me during our talk, but reinforced after, as everyone I talked to was annoyingly curious about my experience and eager to discover their own "type". The idea of being able to talk to someone about who you are is highly therapeutic, and I think a lot of people need it, there is just a barrier with going to a well-established psychiatrist, possibly being labeled crazy, being charged an arm and a leg, etc. Jim's approach is completely organic and unassuming, like talking with a friend, but your friend is just extremely knowledgeable about people's different personalities, and enjoys helping you map out your personality to create a clear picture of how you can best approach the rest of your life. I think he will be extremely successful once people become more comfortable with the idea of meeting someone to talk about themselves outside of the conventional psychiatrist/therapist visits. Nobody has time for that anyway.
