Are you an ENFJ – someone who spends his or her time involved with the things around them (“E” for Extravert), sees the world in terms of possibilities (“N” for iNtuitive), makes decisions based on subjective judgment (“F” for Feeler), and lives life in a decisive, orderly manner (“J” for Judger)? Are you an ISTP – someone who spends his or her time in reflection (“I” for Introvert), see the world in terms of practical facts (“S” for Sensor), makes decisions based on objective analysis (“T” for Thinker), and lives life in a spontaneous, flexible way (“P” for Perceiver)? Or are you one of the fourteen other combinations? In Type Talk, Otto Kroeger and Janet M. Thuesan show you exactly how to determine your personality type, using a scientifically validated method based on the work of C. G. Jung. Type Talk offers insight into why others behave the way they do, and why you are the person you are – on the job, as a parent, in relationships, and in all aspects of daily life. 16 PERSONALITY TYPES WITH SELECTED BRIEF EXPLANATIONS AND EXPOSITIONS THE KEIRSEY TEMPERAMENT SORTER* Page 2 of 9 For my patients and those who would benefit from gaining insight and a fuller understanding into and about your personality traits and those elusive influences that steer many of your life choices; that you may further enrich your life, increase more of what works for you and decrease what does not; deepen rapport and your connection with loved- ones and friends; maintain good health and high spirits and reduce stress; and last, but not finally, make your way in the world and enhance creative and business endeavors and your service to others.

THE KEIRSEY TEMPERAMENT SORTER* Page 4 of 9 Selected Personality Type Information The Keirsey Temperament Sorter, like all personality tests, is only a preliminary and rough indicator of personality. Please do not accept any personality test results without checking them out by watching people in action. People-watching will enable you to detect the difference between what people say they do habitually and what they actually do. Sometimes the test does not accurately identify your personality, but it may give you a place to start looking for a portrait that fits. Perhaps after you have read many of the portraits (see abbreviated descriptions below) and even asked others which of the portraits best describe you, you may be able to begin to define your own personality. After you complete the scoring of your answers to the Questionnaire, you have now identified your “type”. It should be one of the following: INFP ISFP INTP ISTP ENFP ESFP ENTP ESTP INFJ ISFJ INTJ ISTJ ENFJ ESFJ ENTJ ESTJ If you have an X in your type, yours is a mixed type. An X can show up in any of the four pairs: E or I, S or N, T or F, and J or P. Hence there are 32 mixed types beside the 16 listed above: XNTP EXTP ENXP ENTX XNTJ EXTJ INXP INTX XNFP EXFP ENXJ ENFX XNFJ EXFJ INXJ INFX XSTP IXTP ESXP ESTX XSTJ IXTJ ISXP ISTX XSFP IXFP ESXJ ESFX XSFJ IXFJ ISXJ ISFX Having identified type, the task now is to read the type description and to decide how well or how poorly the description and to decide how well or how poorly the description fits.

  • The True Colors® Story
    The True Colors® Story True Colors lively and interactive programs have become the easiest and most convenient way of discovering one’s strengths, and understanding human behavior. In 1978 True Colors was founded, its mission has been to enhance the way we live, work, communicate and interact with those around us at work and in our personal lives. Over the last 40 years, thousands of individuals have experienced the True Colors process, which is widely used in the United States, Canada, Latin America the United Kingdom and parts of Asia and is available in multiple languages. A distinguishing quality of the True Colors Programs is the artful blending of education and entertainment, into “edutainment” programs that combine audience interaction with insightful materials that inform and delight participants because they are easy to understand, to apply on a daily basis and to retain over a lifetime. True Colors is used in schools, businesses, corporations, government and non-profit organizations, and in people’s personal, family and social interactions. The Genesis of True Colors In 1978, founder Don Lowry, the driving force behind True Colors, became interested in the work of clinical psychologist David Keirsey. Keirsey, author of the best-selling self-help book Please Understand Me, studied the work of psychologists Carl Jung, Katherine Briggs and Isabel Myers who theorized that all people fit into one of four broad categories of personality. The concepts instantly rang true with Lowry, who quickly recognized their potential to improve people’s lives, careers and relationships. So he set about developing a fundamental and universal way to package the information into practical guidelines that could be understood and easily applied by both children and adults alike.

  • Temperament Talk of “Managers Chosen As Leaders” in a Family Owned Corporation: from Descriptors to Dialogue
    Lampe Advances in Business Research 2011, Vol. 2, No. 1, 104-114 Temperament Talk of “Managers Chosen as Leaders” in a Family Owned Corporation: From Descriptors to Dialogue Anna Carol Lampe, Rockhurst University A workshop built on temperament theory will not solve the financial woes of a company. Nevertheless, a workshop designed and based solely on temperament theory or research can diminish its outcomes. If an organization wants to change its current ways of believing, knowing, and doing, replicating the workshop’s impersonal dialogue process can help facilitate the change. At Celebration, Inc. dialogue proved to be more powerful than descriptors especially when embedded in workshop content. Celebration, Inc. is a privately held American corporation that helps people celebrate every day and special occasions. The manufacturing company produces more than 12,000,000 million products a day in 20 major product lines and distributes them in nearly 100 countries. Consumers buy its products in more than 40,000 different stores including stores that carry the name Celebrate!, drug stores, superstores, and grocery stores. Celebrations, Inc. had failed to meet several of its financial targets. The CEO decided that the company needed a new management team and brought in the Management Succession team of the Human Resource Division (HR) to facilitate the selection. This team believed that senior management had chosen the current management team based solely on performance and likeability and that a preponderance of the same personality temperament had contributed to groupthink, one-dimensional decision-making, and an unbalanced organizational leadership culture. Research indicated that high performing organizations had cultures that included all four temperaments (Demarest, 1995) and as many different personality types as possible.

    STUDENT TEMPERAMENT ASSESSMENT AND ITS RELATIONSHIP WITH THE SELECTION OF ACCOUNTING AS A MAJOR Thomas C. Shelton Dissertation submitted to the faculty of the Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy In Career and Technical Education William T. Price, Jr. Joseph S. Mukuni Quinton J. Nottingham Di Ross December 3, 2018 Blacksburg, Virginia Key Words: Temperament, Personality, Keirsey, Accounting Students, KTS II Student Temperament Assessment and its Relationship with the selection of Accounting as a Major Thomas C. Shelton ABSTRACT Personality tests have long been utilized to assist in the assessment of individuals. This study analyzes David Keirsey’s temperament types and college students intending to major in accounting. The recruiting and retaining of students with qualities and characteristics desired by the accounting profession has historically presented a challenge for accounting departments in higher education (Corkren, Parks, & Morgan, 2013). Relationships were used to determine similarities between various traits of the respondents. Gender, having taken an accounting- related high school course, accounting-related work experience and level of college education were all compared with the expectations of Keirsey’s temperament types. Students attending a small liberal arts teaching university (Concord University in Athens, West Virginia) and students attending a large research institution (Virginia Tech in Blacksburg, Virginia) were used for the study. A quantitative research design was used to conduct this study. Descriptive statistics were utilized to determine frequencies, averages and variability. Chi-square (χ²) analyzed the number of responses in different temperament categories to determine if actual results were significantly different in determining accounting as a major field of study.

  • Keirsey Temperament Sorter
    Keirsey Temperament Sorter According to the “Keirsey Temperament Sorter” there are 4 basic ‘Temperaments”. With some understanding of Temperament it is not too difficult to be able to understand which of these 4 groups your customer falls into. The Keirsey™ Temperament Sorter®-II The Keirsey Temperament Sorter II® (KTS®-II) is a powerful 70-question personality instrument that helps individuals discover their personality type. The KTS™-II is based on Dr. David Keirsey's Temperament theory and has helped over 30 million people worldwide to gain insight into themselves and the people around them. This insight is useful when selecting a career or choosing a work environment. According to Keirsey's Temperament Theory, people can be sorted into four Temperament groups. These groups are referred to as Artisans, Guardians, Rationals and Idealists. Within each of the four Temperaments, there are four Temperament Variants, which Keirsey calls, "Character types." Some of the most popular uses of the Keirsey Temperament Sorter®-II include: • Guidance • Team Building Counseling • Conflict • Relationship Resolution Counseling • Career • Self Understanding Exploration About the Author Dr. David Keirsey is a clinical psychologist who worked for public schools for 20 years as a corrective interventionist, and followed this with 11 years training therapists and pathologists (California State University) in the art of changing dysfunctional behavior in children and adults.

    Linking Creativity with Psychological Type. Copyright 2001, Marci Segal. Used with permission of Marci Segal. ABSTRACT Linking Creativity with Psychological Type This project reviews the author's discoveries linking creativity with psychological type and Keirsey's Temperament theory. These form the foundation of her newly published work. Creativity and Personality Type: Tools for Understanding- and Inspiring the Many Voices of Creativity (2001). Facilitators often design and lead creative problem solving sessions that match their own style without awareness that group and client needs may be different. When that occurs, participants are less able to fully engage. Cognitive process and motivational drives described though psychological type and Temperament frameworks show how this may be so. Recommendations are given for facilitators to maximize their impact in meaningful, responsible and strategic ways. This project also documents the journey of writing the book including the nuts-and-bolts stages, key learnings and insights into personal creativity.

  • Developing Type, a History from Jung to Today
    Developing Type: A history from Jung to today Type measurement methods used today are based on the work of C.G.Jung, who commenced developing his theory of psychological types a century ago. He commenced with extraversion–introversion, and over time added the mental activities or functions of sensation, intuition, thinking and feeling. None of these terms were original; Jung provided his own definitions and distinctions.People responded to Jungʼs ideas from the very start, before the introduction of functions, and placed their own perspective on his work. This presentation takes a broad but in depth brush to the history of various interpretations and methods associated with Jungʼs typology up to the present day, commencing with Jungʼs construction and early use of his type categories, a period of two to three decades. It includes interpretations and explanations of his work by others, whether in general texts and seminars in disparate fields including society, medicine and art. Measurement (Gray and Wheelwright; Isabel Myers and Katharine Briggs) as a particular cultural and methodological approach to Jungʼs typology will also be examined. This will include the development a particular language of type from measurement results and associated texts, but also the products and orientation of instrument use and the drift to the use of the term personality type. Influences from within and without the Jungian field will also be discussed, notably David Keirseyʼs temperaments (associated with Isabel Myers, but not Jung) and John Beebeʼs archetypal approach. It is intended as a brief contribution to the current challenges to the plausibility of type dynamics and development.

  • Using Psychological Type Theory to Help Law Students Develop Professional Identity
    USING PSYCHOLOGICAL TYPE THEORY TO HELP LAW STUDENTS DEVELOP PROFESSIONAL IDENTITY Donald C. Peters and Martha M. Peters* INTRODUCTION Two recent events have challenged American law schools to more comprehensively engage and motivate students to learn and apply knowledge, skills, and values to help them develop professional identity. The comprehensive examination of the preparation of lawyers in law schools published by the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching in 2007 was the first prominent event.1 Emphasizing daily teaching and learning practices, comparing them to approaches used by other professions, and applying “contemporary understanding of how learning occurs,”2 this Report articulated a three pillar framework for effective legal education consisting of “legal analysis,” “practical skill,” and “professional identity.”3 The Carnegie Report concluded that while American law schools impressively create a legal analysis pillar, they do not build the remaining columns effectively.4 The Report determined that American law schools typically pay relatively little attention to direct instruction in the practical skills required for competent, ethical, and professional practice.5 It also * Donald C. Peters is Professor of Law Emeritus, Levin College of Law at the University of Florida. Martha M. Peters is Professor of Legal Education Emerita, Elon University College of Law. The authors thank the faculty and students at the Regent University School of Law for organizing and inviting us to participate in a Law Review Symposium, Raising the Bar: How Developing a Professional Identity Can Help You Break the Negative Lawyer Stereotype, held at Regent on October 4, 2014, and colleagues and participants who attended this symposium for their ideas, comments, and questions that helped inform aspects of this article.

Turner Dissertation Committee Major Advisor ii Abstract Some organizational studies examining the relationship between job satisfaction, and temperament type have indicated marginal to significant correlations between the two variables (Herzberg, Mausner, and Snyderman., 2000; Keirsey, 1998; Spector, 1997. Other studies examining the relationship between job satisfaction, temperament type, job roles, and years of service have produced mixed results (Jennings, 1999). One purpose of this survey study was to examine the extent to which there is a relationship between job satisfaction and temperament of doctoral candidates and graduates. A second purpose for this survey study was to examine the extent to which there is a relationship between job satisfaction and job role. The third purpose for this survey study was to examine the extent to which the relationship between job satisfaction and job role is affected by temperament. The fourth purpose of this survey study was to examine the relationship between job satisfaction and years of service. The fifth purpose for this survey study was to examine the extent to which the relationship between job satisfaction and years of service is affected by temperament. The methodology involved a purposeful sampling of 45 doctoral candidates and graduates enrolled in cohorts 1-9 at a small, private liberal arts university in the Midwest.

I never tire of discussing it, although I've tired many oth I first read it in the late 80s, and it has remained one of the most influential books in my life.

Each member of the family mixes at a party; engages in conversation and would be described as friendly. At the time mid- s Keirsey was mainly interested in the relationship between temperament and abnormal behavior , finding that Ernst Kretschmer and his disciple William Sheldon were the only ones who wrote about this relationship.
