Synopsis
We are all different and no country fits everyone living in it. Many people who travel or live abroad are surprised to discover countries that fit them better than their own country. Discover if your personality type differs from your culture's type. Determine your personality type and learn about it through descriptions of culture types. Find out which culture fits your type when traveling, studying, working or living abroad. The popularity of personality type theory is spreading throughout Europe, Asia and the rest of the world. Every year, millions of people take personality tests like the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI). These people seek to understand themselves and others through the tool of personality type. "Where in the World Do I Belong??" describes 115 cultures from around the world using Myers-Briggs personality type concepts. Insightful quotes and personal experiences of people from around the globe make "Where in the World Do I Belong??" come alive. Cartoons by TRIGG illuminate and humorously depict various culture types.Reviews: Brent Massey, wrote the Hawaii book in the well-known Culture Shock series and he adopts a similar colloquial, anecdotal approach here and it is an easy read.

MBTI goes international
A welcome addition to the MBTI canon, Brent Massey's well-researched book examines Myers-Briggs type by country and countries by their Myers-Briggs type. Particularly strong in areas where the author has personal experience (the USA, Japan, INFPs), this book will shed a considerable amount of light on why it is that you sometimes don't feel like you quite belong in your own country, yet why you have always felt such a connection with and fond regard for [insert name of country where you had your most memorable holiday]. The effect of reading all this research gathered together in one book is as if Massey has created a new language, enabling the reader to verbalise what had previously been limited to a disparate collection of internal impressions. It's like suddenly putting on a pair of glasses and seeing clearly at last when you didn't even realise you were shortsighted. If you're (also) INFP, interested in psychology/typology/MBTI, have friends or relatives from other countries, or have a wide selection of stamps in your passport, this book will appeal; I'd give it six stars if I could. Highly, highly recommended.
