Hi, and Welcome to TypExpert.com—
We do Type, as they say. Psychological Type. Personality Styles. The Myers-Briggs Type Indicator® (MBTI®), the Golden Personality Profiler™— that sort of thing.

We help you improve your life.

I’m Bill Murray, your Host, and I was a founding member of the Association for Psychological Type (APT— now APTi for international) back in the 70′s. Been reading, writing and speaking about Type in the US and elsewhere for over 30 years.

So I know a lot of the Type Experts who’ve contributed so much to the growth of this powerful body of knowledge.

A number of them have agreed to be interviewed on my TypExpert Radio Show & Podcast, and we’ll be announcing these events as we go along.

We were planning to get this going a couple years ago, but I had an inconvenient bout of cancer to deal with. The Doc says it’s all gone now and I’m pretty much back to my previous level of workouts and exercise. So we’ll get back to the TypExpertise!

If you’d like to be informed of what’s coming up, you can sign up at the Opt-In Box below and we’ll notify you. This note will be posted before the Opt-In-Box is up, so in the interim you can E-mail us at news@TypExpert.com and ask to be put on the TypExpert List. We hate spam as much as you do, so we won’t give or sell your information to anyone without your permission.
Your Host,

Bill Murray

You Would Probably Give All Your Friends that Unfair Advantage!

The Holiday season can be a time of great joy but in many ways it can be stress-full and difficult, especially if you are one of the more sensitive types.

As you are well aware, knowledge of psychological type can do many things for many people: it can strengthen relationships, improve decision making, give folks greater self-confidence, improve communication between different types, assist people to find a better, more fulfilling job– or just help in coping with the day-to-day ups and downs. It is clearly an equal opportunity, one size fits all system which makes it the ideal gift for everyone on your gift list.

And what better way to give the gift of Type than to give all your friends the Unfair Advantage of Type knowledge– And what better way to do that than Bill Murray’s book on Type called “Give Yourself the Unfair Advantage” with the most powerful, humorous, memorable and compelling illustrations available: Ashleigh Brilliant’s famous “Pot-Shots®.” “It’s the book about type that people actually read!”

Or as Richard Bolles; author of What Color is Your Parachute said, “most appealing of all the books about the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator® [Personality Type] that are out there.”

“Type Prayers Saved My Life!”

My company, Type & Temperament, Inc/Type & Archetype Press, publishes books, training materials, and seminar kits with practical applications of personality Type- the MBTI®/ Myers-Briggs Type Indicator®. Including the well-known “Type Prayers,” a set of 16 One-Line Prayers, one for each MBTI Type.

Example: the ENFP Prayer:

These little prayers are wonderfully designed to capture the essence of each Type in a single line. LIke the ENFP’s Extraverted iNtuition, what you see/hear from an ENFP first and most predominantly. After clients learn about their Type, it helps to give them ways to be reminded of it regularly, so they “Use it, not Lose it.” One client had the entire set (8 1/2×11 size) framed  and hung on the walls of his conference room for all to be reminded of.

So I generally give my consulting clients their Type Prayer framed for their wall or their desk. When we introduce Type to a group, we encourage them to advertise their Type on their desks, it promotes discussions about their Types and how that affects their interactions. Often it prevents misunderstandings (“Oh, that’s just a ‘Type thing.’  You’re an Extravert and I’m a Introvert” Or “You’re a Senser and I’m an iNtuitive.”). Thus it gets the group used to using the basic ideas— they “use it, not lose it” after you’re gone. And it’s fun!


So How Does It Save Lives?

I once had a guy call me and thank me; he said, “Bill, Your Type Prayers saved my life!”

I said something like, “I’m glad. How’d that happen?”

He said, “Well, actually, your Type Prayers saved  saved my business. I have this one large client that’s about 75% of my business, and a new man came in at the top there. We talked on the phone a couple of times, and then I couldn’t get through to him. I could see my life going down the drain.  Finally I got him to agree to see me. I was quaking in my boots.

When I walked into his office there was a frame on his desk with your ESTJ Prayer in it. I said’Oh! You’re an ESTJ!”

He said, “Yes. What Type are you?”

I said, “I’m an INFP.” [The exact Opposite.]

He said, “Of course! Now I understand!”  Then we had a great meeting,  and now we have a really strong relationship.  Of course, I do have to meet his deadlines. But you saved my business.”
