What is Your
Personality and Temperament? We
all have a personality type and a temperament or
cluster of temperaments. What is the difference
between temperament and personality? We are born
with a temperament, but our personality is
developed gradually. Though they have some
connection, they’re quite different. Temperament
refers to behavioral style, the 'how' of
behavior. Personality describes 'what' a person
does or 'why' they do things? Both merge to help
form who we are. They both join to determine how
and why we respond to music, religion,
literature, career choice, family, politics, and
life itself. Understanding the personality and
temperament of individuals may assist one in
being less critical of others. It may also help
individuals to be better parents, teachers,
employees, supervisors, and employers. There are
four temperaments: phlegmatic, choleric,
sanguine, and melancholy. Each one of us has a
mixture of all these temperaments or very strong
in one or more. I have a very strong blend of
two temperaments: phlegmatic and sanguine. There
are sixteen personality types which I cannot
list here.
