Description The first personality assessment book of its kind, this fun and innovative classic from 1927 helped set the standard for interactive gamebooks.
Innovative co-authors Mary Alden Hopkins and Doris Webster helped establish our enduring fascination with self-improvement by cleverly formulating a personality test that employs the easy-to-use format of a game. Here's how it works. I've Got Your Number presents readers with a group of five categories containing five questions each. Your answers to the questions in each category determine your "number", and your number reveals insights into your personality gleaned directly from your responses. A wide range of categories provide a well-rounded accounting of your personal qualities. What attributes should you look for in your ideal romantic partner? How do you best thrive at work? What traits might be holding you back? These topics, and so many more, are addressed within the pages of this quality facsimile edition of the original book. This fun and useful framework for self-analysis has delighted readers for decades and set the stage for others to come. Before there was Myers-Brigges, there was Hopkins and Webster. Indeed, nearly one hundred years later, the personality assessment presented in I've Got Your Number proves that while times change, our quest for self-knowledge remains constant.
