Keirsey Books brings together explorations of Gestalt Science and Formatics, symmetry and finite geometry, space and time, and temperament and human action. The current collection moves from polyhedra and proposed mathematical models of physical reality to an objective present and the ways adults respond, adapt, and create new possibilities.
Symmetry
& form
Polyhedra and the ways symmetry grows, contracts, and changes through geometric relationships.
Explore symmetry ↗Finite
structures
Finite groups and proposed connections between quantum and cosmic information.
Explore the framework ↗Reality &
measurement
Relativity, local clocks, and an argument for an underlying objective present.
Explore space & time ↗Temperament
& possibility
A working guide to adult behavior, character, and the range from defensive to generative action.

Categories
- Gestalt Science
David Keirsey’s primary research: a gestalt approach to form, relationship, and information, asking how organized wholes arise and change across geometry, physics, and life.
- Formatics
A finite, information-theoretic formalism for Gestalt Science, built from finite groups and finite geometries: sporadic groups, symmetry, discrete holonomy, and the Finite Formatic Poisson framework.
- Action Research
Human action and its possibilities, drawing on the Keirsey Temperament and Personology work of David Keirsey and his father, David West Keirsey.
