The Meyers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) has become quite popular  as a team-building tool. Many books have been written on the use  of types at work, in relationships, and even in church.  Levesque, who has her Ed.D. in creativity, serviceably merges  the study of types with the study of creativity. She describes  eight creative talentsAfour of which are most concerned with  data-collecting and four of which are most concerned with  decision-making. Each MBTI type possesses a dominant creative  talent and an auxiliary talent. For each type, the author  outlines the dominant features and how creativity can be  maximized or inhibited. Finally, Levesque considers ways of  effectively using types in business settings. Given the current  popularity of type-talk, public libraries should consider  purchasing.Copyright 2001 Reed Business Information, Inc.
