New “working title” for book as in the Title above.

I used to participate heavily in the16types.info forums discussing Socionics and other personality/typology models and systems. After much militant debate and argument I eventually broke away from my virtual brothers (and sisters) to explore Socionics on my own.

The result was of course Socionics Demystified, a result of over 2.5 years of independent study and bulletin board contributitions.

Having now received (limited) feedback I have decided to begin work writing the second edition to be published by the end of January 2008.

What did I learn?

I realised that with any kind of product life cycle my initial release was very much what “techy types” would consider a beta release, as in read at one’s own risk and not final for general release. It was important for me to publish “as is” regardless to get that all important feedback from willing critics.

I don’t have the time or patience to sift through forum posts related to my book, they should have the guts to give a short or long review either damning or praising on the sales pages on Amazon to make my life easier.

Regardless I’m currently re-writing the first edition and I hope to get some good reviews when I release the new edition next year.

Next (immediate) courses of action:

• Continue my revisions
  • Reduce and remove all complaints of suspected and partial-plagarism, especially my sloppy work with Part Two (I now have plenty of fresh material to re-write from scratch)
  • PROOF READ till I can’t PROOF READ anymore!!
  • Amend the Glossary with new relevant key words
• Add new content
  • “Part 3″ — additional social models unique to my own research and derived from Socionics as the framework for them.
• Further reading
  • Research madeeasypublishing.com for information and any “tools” I can use to get this all done better.
