Jane Segerstrom
There is another out of print set of books that also has a four type system:
Jane Segerstrom's Look Like Yourself and Lo... c) 1980
Style Strategy: Winning the Appearance Game c) 1988
"Personality is a useful tool for indicating one's Type, but appearance is equally effective . If the two were in opposition we'd have a dilemma, but they aren't. Recent independent research by Frances Quinn, Suzanne Caygill, Joan Songer and Don Cardwell in the San Francisco Bay area has proven one's coloring, bone structure and personality mutually reinforcing. You're made right." p. 23 Look Like Yourself and Love It.
