The first personality assessment book of its kind, this fun and innovative classic from 1927 helped set the standard for interactive gamebooks.
Innovative co-authors Mary Alden Hopkins and Doris Webster helped establish our enduring fascination with self-improvement by cleverly formulating a personality test that employs the easy-to-use format of a game. Here's how it works. I've Got Your Number presents readers with a group of five categories containing five questions each. Your answers to the questions in each category determine your "number", and your number reveals insights into your personality gleaned directly from your responses. A wide range of categories provide a well-rounded accounting of your personal qualities. What attributes should you look for in your ideal romantic partner? How do you best thrive at work? What traits might be holding you back? These topics, and so many more, are addressed within the pages of this quality facsimile edition of the original book. This fun and useful framework for self-analysis has delighted readers for decades and set the stage for others to come. Before there was Myers-Brigges, there was Hopkins and Webster. Indeed, nearly one hundred years later, the personality assessment presented in I've Got Your Number proves that while times change, our quest for self-knowledge remains constant.

Doris Webster (1885-1967) and Mary Alden Hopkins (1876-1960) were pioneers in "party books" in the 1920 through the 1930s. They wrote several interactive books that were intended to be shared with groups of friends. These books ushered in the slew of self-analysis and personality-assessment books used to this day to determine compatibility at work and home. In these books, created by this duo, readers answered questions to come up with a number that reveals a fortune or personality assessment. They had tremendous success and published multiple similar books. In 1930, they published Consider the Consequences!, the first game book ever published in which readers choose the plot.
Mary Alden Hopkins was an American journalist, essayist, and suffrage activist. She worked as an editor and freelancer for several organizations and publications including The Atlantic Monthly, The American Mercury, and The New York Times Magazine .
Doris Webster married Samuel C. Webster in New York City in June of 1920. Along with her collaborations with Mary Hopkin, Ms. Webster collaborated with her husband on the novel Uncle James' Shoes. In addition, she was a director of the Rider Press, and of the Cumulative Digest Corporation.
