The analysis of personality is considered increasingly important to understand the decision making process, and this is also the case for those who perform tasks as economists or politicians. The handbook Diagnóstico propioceptivo del temperamento y carácter (UBʼs Publications and Editions Service) is a fundamental, technologically innovative and scientifically well-founded contribution to an efficient assessment of personality.

The analysis of personality is considered increasingly important to understand the decision making process, and this is also the case for those who perform tasks as economists or politicians. The handbook Diagnóstico propioceptivo del temperamento y carácter (UBʼs Publications and Editions Service) is a fundamental, technologically innovative and scientifically well-founded contribution to an efficient assessment of personality.

The work, led by professor of Personality Psychology at the UB Josep Maria Tous Ral, is based on the fact that current psychology studies, as part of the so-called neurosciences, do not restrict the information processing to the conscious mind. In this regard, the opinion of oneself predicts some of the individual behaviour, to the extent that a person tries to behave according to what they believe to be, however, this intentional behaviour only accounts for a small fraction of what we really do.
