It uniquely creates a fun, easy to use system with four types of dogs - the German Shepherd, who represents the strong leader; the Pomeranian, who is the high-energy party animal, the Golden Retriever, who is the calm, steady supporter, and the Border Collie, who is the serious, detail-oriented type concerned with facts and accuracy.

What's Your Personality Type features a new approach to understanding yourself and others. You can use it to better communicate with others, improve your relationships in your personal life and at work, increase your business, and just have fun.
