Got recommended this book by another UX Professional. I must admit I was a bit reluctant as a lot of the "methods" to read people are quite flimsy, but this book does a good job of aggregating them and explain that we shouldn't base our assumptions without a good baseline and several evidences pointing at the same direction.

I was a bit deceived by the last chapters focused a lot on the MBTI which is really not that great at all (https://www.vox.com/2014/7/15/5881947/myers-briggs-personality-test-meaningless). Having ADHD it also bothers me a lot that several physical manifestations of it could be badly identified for people not used to neuro atypic profiles.
