Norbert Grygar graduated from Temple Junior College (TX), attended St. Mary's University in San Antonio and then graduated from the University of Texas in Austin with a BBA. Afterward, I spent the next two years in the US Army during the Vietnam Era. Upon discharge, I entered the business world where I spent over thirty years in Casualty Insurance including earning the CPCU designation. During the time working, I became very interested in personality types after attending a seminar on Social Style which categorizes individuals as Amiable, Analytical, Driving, and Expressive. Much of the text of this book is the result of self study. Other interests include 10-15 years as a youth soccer coach including a stint as the local soccer association president. I am currently retired and living in Temple, Texas.
