Wouldn’t it be terrific if you could understand who you are? Or maybe you need to know another’s personality—a customer, a spouse, or a friend. In "Human Art: Understanding Your Own Personal Design" we teach you how to do just that. We all have taken personality tests that helped to an extent. They helped us know that we were a good organizer or a people person. But what if you could go deeper–deep enough to find completely how you think, why you act the way you do in certain situations? With Human Art, you can. You can understand yourself and others. You can define who you are, how you are made, how you think, and how you come across to others. Combining principles of art, design, color theory and psychology, Human Art is a one of a kind approach to understanding personality in a completely observable way. It teaches how we can merely look at someone and draw conclusions based on characteristics such as the colors they relate to, the lines in their bone structure, and the movement they display. These outward characteristics are clues to who we are on the inside. Using this unique methodology, we can find confidence and understanding of both ourselves and others. The knowledge of Human Art (The Original Personality Test) can be used in all aspects of life: personal development, relationships, customer service and more. With Human Art, proven with empirical support over 200 years, you can discover just how unique you really are--one of a kind, a masterpiece. https://www.theoriginalpersonalitytest.com REVIEWS FROM ORIGINAL 2006 PUBLICATION: “Finally, a one-size-fits-all beauty book filled with clear wisdom about what it takes to be beautiful.

An indispensable and inspiring guide to creativity in the workplace and beyond, drawing on art, psychology, science, sports, law, business, and technology to help you land big ideas in the practical world. Anyone from CEO to freelancer knows how hard it is to think big, let alone follow up, while under pressure to get things done. Art Thinking offers practical principles, inspiration, and a healthy dose of pragmatism to help you navigate the difficulties of balancing creative thinking with driving toward results. With an MBA and an MFA, Amy Whitaker, an entrepreneur-in-residence at the New Museum Incubator, draws on stories of athletes, managers, writers, scientists, entrepreneurs, and even artists to engage you in the process of “art thinking.” If you are making a work of art in any field, you aren’t going from point A to point B. You are inventing point B. Art Thinking combines the mind-sets of art and the tools of business to protect space for open-ended exploration and manage risks on your way to success. Art Thinking takes you from “Wouldn’t it be cool if . . . ?” to realizing your highest aims, helping you build creative skills you can apply across all facets of business and life. Warm, honest, and unexpected, Art Thinking will help you reimagine your work and life—and even change the world—while enjoying the journey from point A. Art Thinking features 60 line drawings throughout.

From a world-renowned painter, an exploration of creativity’s quintessential—and often overlooked—role in the spiritual life “Makoto Fujimura’s art and writings have been a true inspiration to me. In this luminous book, he addresses the question of art and faith and their reconciliation with a quiet and moving eloquence.”—Martin Scorsese “[An] elegant treatise . . . Fujimura’s sensitive, evocative theology will appeal to believers interested in the role religion can play in the creation of art.”—Publishers Weekly Conceived over thirty years of painting and creating in his studio, this book is Makoto Fujimura’s broad and deep exploration of creativity and the spiritual aspects of “making.” What he does in the studio is theological work as much as it is aesthetic work. In between pouring precious, pulverized minerals onto handmade paper to create the prismatic, refractive surfaces of his art, he comes into the quiet space in the studio, in a discipline of awareness, waiting, prayer, and praise. Ranging from the Bible to T. S. Eliot, and from Mark Rothko to Japanese Kintsugi technique, he shows how unless we are making something, we cannot know the depth of God’s being and God’s grace permeating our lives. This poignant and beautiful book offers the perspective of, in Christian Wiman’s words, “an accidental theologian,” one who comes to spiritual questions always through the prism of art.
