What Temperament Type Are You?

Many people are interested in their personality type. Not only does this tell them how they act, but it also shows what others may think as well. Unfortunately, many people never take the time to figure out what temperament type they are. That being said, this is easy enough thanks to information such as Myers-Briggs personality type profiles and books including Please Understand Me by David Keirsey.


Generally speaking, there are four temperament categories that you may fit into. In most cases, you should be able to find one that you are most closely associated with.

The four types include: rational, idealist, guardian, and artisan. As you can imagine, each one of these temperaments has a unique set of traits that go along with them.

Rational: These people are non-conformist who are also competent and technically inclined.

Idealist: These people are creative, passionate, and romantic. Often times, these people end up with careers in art related fields.

Guardian: Loyal, dependable, and traditional thinking governs this temperament type.

Artisan: Those who are adventurous, risk takers usually fit into this category.

Do you really need to know what temperament type you are? Of course not. Many people feel that this information is of no use to them, but in many cases, this is not true. When you know what temperament category you fit into, you will have a better understanding of why you act as you do as well as how others perceive you.

So with all of this information in mind, what type of temperament do you have?
