Analyzing Character The New Science of Judging Men; Misfits in Business, the Home and Social Life

"Analyzing Character" by Katherine M. H. Blackford is a book focused on understanding people, probably from the early 1900s. The book teaches readers how to figure out what people are like to fix the problem of people being in the wrong jobs, at home, and in their social lives. It talks about knowing yourself and how important it is to find jobs that fit your skills to be happier and better at work. Early on, the authors explain the basics of understanding people and why it's important to stop people from ending up in the wrong jobs. They point out that people end up in the wrong jobs for different reasons, like not knowing what they're good at, not having a goal, parents pushing them, or money problems. One story shares how parents' wrong ideas can mess up their child's future career. The beginning makes it clear that it's very important to know yourself well so you can pick a career that matches your skills, warning that we'll waste people's talents if they don't find the right fit.
