The Nutty Introvert And The Crimson Compass

October 3, 2008

Before I tell you about the Nutty Introvert, I’d like to introduce my new sponsor, The Crimson Compass. If you’ve been visiting my blog for a while, you probably already know the founder of The Crimson Compass, Davina Haisell.

Davina offers life coaching to help folks find their way. Whether want to start a business, need to become more creative, make transformations in your personal life, or you’ve got stuck in your comfort zone, Davina can help. You can find out more about Davina’s personalized service by checking out the Crimson Compass website.

I don’t do too many reviews on this blog. In fact, any product or service I do review is something I’ve bought and liked. That goes for the “things I like” section too. Nothing in there is stuff I’ve been asked to review – it’s all things I’ve tried and liked and think you may like it too. In fact, most of the time I don’t even link to a sales page, so I make no commission if you buy those things.

So, a whole bunch of review requests for products, books etc goes completely ignored. It’s not that I don’t like the folk who send me them, or that I think their products suck. It’s just that if I wanted to be a crash test dummy, I would have got myself a job doing something like that. I just don’t have time to test and read other people’s stuff.

The times when I do take notice is when the person who’s offering the product has actually taken the time to get to know me first and is also offering something insanely useful and interesting. And the Nutty Introvert did just that.

Those of you who are wondering who the Nutty Introvert is may know him better as Hunter Nuttall, personal development blogger and the guy who has a bee in his bonnet over the way some folk regard introverts.

Anyway it turns out that Hunter’s passion for studying personality types has taken over his life. He hasn’t been too active in the blogosphere lately. I guessed he was up to something, so I wasn’t surprised when his book: “Extroverts Are Assholes” turned up in my inbox.

Ok, I’m joking – it’s not really called that. It would make an interesting book title but Hunter’s book is far less gimmicky. “The Personality Puzzle: Understanding What Makes People Tick.” is based on Carl Jung’s – Myers Briggs Type Indicator. And take it from someone who has studied psychology and spent hours pouring over text books on the theories of folk like Jung, Mead and Freud and wishing Freud’s mother had drowned him at birth; Hunter’s book is a whole lot more interesting to read.

Being able to understand what makes different personality types tick has all sorts of advantages. If you have a business, it makes it easier to sell to customers, according to their personality type. If you have a husband, it makes it easier to get him to mow the lawn. If you have a boss, it comes in really useful when you want a pay rise, or time off. It really has unlimited advantages.

Hunter’s book is a bargain. A little while ago, I spent a day on a course learning how to sell to different personality types. The course cost me £375 (around $750). And it was nowhere near as good as Hunter’s book which is available at a fraction of that price. But don’t just take my word for it.

OMG Cath, I’m laughing at too many parts of this to type a coherent reply. Have you ever been a publicist before?

Thanks for doing a review; I didn’t know that you ignored most review requests, and I’m glad that you thought my ebook was worth paying attention to.

Hi Cath. Thank you for the introduction! For the first time in a while I’m at a loss for words. This is exciting.

At first I thought you were talking about me when you referenced the Nutty Introvert. I was actually disappointed that it wasn’t me… the name carries a certain charm

@ Hunter I will be coming by your blog to see what’s goin on! I am quite curious to learn more about The Personality Puzzle. Congrats on the book.

Hi Catherine – I know you normally don’t do reviews, but these two are well worth the mention.

Hi Hunter – I haven’t. If I took a job it’s the kind of thing I’d love though. I’m glad you liked it – your new book is excellent.

Re: Reviewing stuff, I think yours is only the second requested review I’ve done. Some just haven’t been right for my blog, others I haven’t had time and many come from complete strangers. And some of the products just aren’t original enough.

Hi Davina – I thought you’d think that, with you being an introvert too. I wasn’t going to do both together but the title came into my head while I was driving and I liked it.

Hi Barbara – they’re both great aren’t they?

This was a very awesome review post. As the Nutty Professor said, you should be a publicist!

Thanks Al – It’s so much easier to review something really exciting. I’ve mostly sold fairly dull services in the past – it’s far more interesting promoting products.

I loved your guest post at Write To Done by the way.

Great introduction for Davina’s services – something I didn’t know she did, and I visit her blog regularly! So, thank you for sharing the info on her!

And, a good intro to Hunter’s ebook as well!

You’re full of all sorts of good karma in this post Cath!!
