June, 2019 - Hi, Welcome to the Temperament Page that introduces you to Keirsey's 4 temperament model (and others). I decided to devote a page as a supplement to my Job Index of career and job hunting pages. Knowing oneself is an important factor in finding a fulfilling job. So, between this page and the MBTI page you can start to explore who you really are. Well, at least how theorists approach the subject. It's a useful way to research and investigate the world of "Personality & Temperament", so you can get the job of your dreams, although a great resume helps, too.
This is the sister page to the Personality Page, which provides an extensive coverage of the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI). Although Keirsey's 4-Temperament Model is useful in and of itself, it also serves as the foundation for the MBTI. This Model, I think, is a lot easier to get to know than the MBTI's 16 personality types. There's basically 4 categories and these temperaments have been covered extensively on the Net. I picked out the 4 best Web sites.
If you find a particular rendition you like, just read through that rendition's four temperament descriptions. For example, the idealist, rational, guardian and artisan portraits is a set of renditions developed by AdvisorTeam.Com. At the end of this page you will find some fun links to personality tests. Enjoy!
You represent... hope.
You're quite a daydreamer and can be a hopeless romantic. You enjoy being creative and don't mind being alone at times. You have goals, and know what you want in life... even if they are a little far fetched.
You are Proverbs.
You are Morpheus, from "The Matrix." You have strong faith in yourself and those around you. A true leader, you are relentless in your pursuit.
You're a Spring. You usually are very close-knit with your friends and value everyone friendship you have. You're a real people person and everyone loves how friendly you are. You're good with encouraging people but usually don't like to be the center of attention. You are a social butterfly and probably are in several circles of friends but it's just because you're well liked and you make people comfortable. You're both fun and wise but you are very realistic about life.
Water. Whatever you do, where or when, you do it with all of your heart. You listen to your heart and all of your emotions are true non-acting. Friends are very important to you and you will do anything for them. You're the most dreamy of all 4 elements.
You are a Water Dragon! Congrats! Like ice dragons, you are extremly powerful, but show it more often. You are a leader, and like to speak your opinion. AND, you are charming, swift, and great at dancing, or enjoy getting stuck in the rain, playing with friends, and swimming anywhere! Wat-ER you waiting for?
