Marilyn Monroe was born in 1926 in Los Angeles and spent her childhood in foster care and orphanages due to her mother's mental health issues. She married young at 16 to avoid another orphanage stay. After divorcing in 1946, the same year she signed her first movie contract under the name Marilyn Monroe, her acting career took off in the 1950s with roles in films like The Asphalt Jungle and All About Eve, proving her skill and becoming one of Hollywood's most famous actresses. She went from working in an assembly line to international superstardom, attracting large audiences to her films.
More than 100 years from the inception of Jung’s Psychological Type Theory and 70 years after the release of the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator, the Striving Styles Personality System is the next step in this evolutionary process. It is a complete assessment and development system that is based in the neurobiology of personality development. It incorporates the pioneering work of experts in brain functioning and development as well as emotional intelligence.
Like Myers & Briggs, another mother and daughter team, Anne Dranitsaris, Ph.D. and Heather Dranitsaris-Hilliard, have created the Striving Styles to show people the true mechanics of their minds, so they can direct how it functions and how they feel -- as Jung intended with his work!
