THE FOUR TEMPERAMENTS
What is Temperament?
■ Behavioral model first presented by David Keirsey in the book,Please Understand Me that
classifies people into one of four basic patterns of behavior
■ Developed independently of type theory and the MBTI assessment-Keirsey’s early names
for the four groupings were Idealists, Rationalists, Guardians and Artisans
■ Only later was psychological type used as a means to identify these behavioral groups
■ Temperament by-passes some of the complexities of type and becomes an actionable tool
by focusing on observable, and even predictable, behavior
What is The 4 Temperaments Workbook?
This book,a companion to a temperament workshop or to OKA’s The 4 Temperaments video
series, is designed to provide you with additional content on temperament, allow you to
personalize your understanding of the different temperament groups and to formalize an
action plan that puts to work the insights gleaned from your exposure to the temperaments.

THE FOUR TEMPERAMENTS
NF Intuition–Feeling
NT
SJ
SP
NFs look at the world and see possibilities (iNtuition), then
translate those possibilities inter- and intrapersonally (Feeling).
Representing about 12% of the population,they are the
idealists of life, and they tend to serve causes that advance
human interests, but their sensitivity can lead them to
personalize any form of criticism, often resulting in their
needlessly feeling hurt. Overall, NFs feel that the most
important thing is to be in harmony with their values and often
with others. Everything else will naturally fall into place.
