How Your Personality Type Is Inherited

by A.M. Benis, ScD, MD. The purpose of this book is to allow you, the reader, to see how your personality type was inherited. Our approach is precise and quantitative. Our premise is that every individual has several major personality traits resulting from just a few genes, and that we can trace the traits in a family tree. By personality type, we mean that the traits assort themselves - one, two or three traits together - so that every individual has cohesive set of physical and behavioral qualities that can be recognized as a discrete "type." There are three basic traits and about a dozen common personality types. If you are not familiar with the NPA model, the introductory chapters will bring you up to speed quickly. Next, we present twenty "case studies" that illustrate how the personality traits are transmitted. Here, you will meet Giovanni and Pania, Bogdan and Lulu, as well as King Lucifer IV and his many mistresses. Each of the cases has an instructive element, and when you are through with these illustrations, you should be in good form to do your own analysis... of yourself, your family, your significant other, and even of children who are not yet born.
