Cognitive Personality

Personality as Process

Digital edition – £8.99

For over a century, personality psychology and personality typology have lived beside each other without quite speaking the same language. One became increasingly statistical, the other increasingly phenomenological. Cognitive Personality is an attempt to build a bridge between them.

Reconstructing personality from first principles, the book treats traits, types, preferences, and identities less as final explanations, but rather recurring patterns emerging from deeper cognitive and affective dynamics.

This is a book for readers who suspect that neither boxes nor bell curves are enough.

CPT eBook – Second Edition

Cognitive Personality Theory is an individualised typology system.

Inspired by Carl Jung’s ‘Cognitive Functions’, as well as the more specific Jung-derived classification system of MBTI®, CPT is the result of over a hundred case studies and applications of Jungian personality theory. It proposes a method of personality typing centered around individual variation, and the means through which an individual may develop.

CPT proposes type as a set of cognitive parameters that can with patience and understanding be overcome — the goal of this system is not to give people a set of letters to define who they are but rather to impart a set of tools with which to overcome our self-imposed limitations.

This second edition includes substantial reworking and elaboration, featuring an entirely new chapter on cognitive fluidity. It thoroughly covers the fundamentals of CPT, laying the groundwork for the more advanced aspects of the system to be explored in later works.
