General

  • Jung, C.G. “Psychological Types,” Bollingen Series, Princeton University Press, 1971, ISBN 0-691-01813-8. One of Jung’s most important works, and probably the most famous, this book was originally published in 1921. The current English translation (A revision by R.F.C. Hull of the translation by H.G.Baynes) is based on a slightly revised version that is published as Volume 6 of the collected works and includes some other of Jung’s texts on typology.
  • Briggs-Myers, Isabel and Myers, Peter B. “Gifts Differing: Understanding Personality Type.” Davies-Black Publishing, 1980, ISBN 0-89106-074-X. This book distinguishes the 4 patterns used by MBTI, one of the oldest profiling tools still in use. However, this test doesn’t differ between contexts and discusses education as well as relationships and carreer choices.
  • Charvet, Shelle Rose. “Words That Change Minds – Mastering the Language of Influence.” Kendall/Hunt Publishing Company, Dubeque, Iowa, 1995. This book is based on the early version of the LAB profile (13 patterns) as it was taught by Brian Van der Horst in Europe starting from 1987.
  • Bodenhamer, Bob G.and Hall, L. Michael. “Figuring Out People – Design Engineering with Meta-Programs.” Anglo-American Book Company, 1997, ISBN 1-89983-610-1. The authors of this book did an extensive study of the material that is available in the field of cognitive science and categorized more than 50 cognitive patterns or metaprograms. The book indicates how to detect these patterns and gives references to sources for further investigation.
  • Sternberg, Robert J. “Thinking Styles,” Cambridge University Press, 1997, ISBN 0-521-65713-X (IBM Professor of Psychology & Education”, Yale University). This book contains an overview of several cognitive style models, gives a detailed description the Sternberg-Wagner theory of thinking styles which includes of 5 cognitive patterns (13 variables), and contains simple tests for each of these variables.

Cultural Understanding

  • Parsons, Talcot. “The Social System.” The Free Press, 1951. Talcott Parsons has laid the foundations on which Trompenaers built his cross-cultural database. In particular, Talcott researched five concept-pairs or pattern-variables which predict value-orientation. The foundations of this work date back to the book “Structure of Social Action” (Parsons, 1937).
  • Hofstede, Geert. “Cultures and Organizations: Software of the Mind.” Mc-Graw-Hill, 1991 (paperback HarperCollins ISBN 0-00-637740-8). Geert Hofstede became famous with his book “Culture’s Consequences” (1980) that contained statistical data about the cultural differences between IBM employees. This book is 10 years younger and contains the results of many follow up studies done since the first book menioned, and it points out how these differences can be managed.
  • Trompenaars, Fons and Hampden-Turner, Charles. “Riding the Waves of Culture – Understanding Cultural Diversity in Business.” Nicholas Brealey Publishing, 2nd ed., 1997. Fons Trompenaars was introduced to the subject by Geert Hofstede. He extended the research, testing 9 cognitive patterns and collecting more than 30,000 cultural questionnaires which have been summarized in this book.

References for VSQ research and discussion

  • Nietzsche, Friedrich. “On the Genealogy of Morals,” 1887. Nietzsche was the first to point out in his work that a big philosophical problem is to determine the true hierarchy of values. The notion of determining a person’s hierarchy of values has been built into our Graves-inspired Value Systems Questionnaire.

J & C Enterprises. “NLP is a modeling technology whose specific subject matter is the set of differences that make the difference between the performance of geniuses and that of average performers in the same field or activity. In this sense, the objective of modeling studies in NLP is to explicate in a transferable and learnable code these sets of differences.1 The core activity, then, is the mapping of tacit knowledge onto an explicit model. This meta-discipline was created by John Grinder and Richard Bandler in the early 70’s.”
