Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 18 years ago
This book is worth reading if you are a devotee of the biological basis of personality. The book is written in plain English, well illustrated, and is a highly informative account of personality. It covers the classic personality theories (e.g., P-E-N) alongside Zuckerman's and Gray's theoretical perspectives. This is a great book, which can be read by anyone who is interested in personality research.
