A New Look at David Keirsey's Temperaments Keirsey says that the breakdown of intuitive types is between NTs (intuitive-thinkers) and NFs (intuitive feelers), which he calls Rationals and Idealists, and which he associates with Prometheus and Apollo. Neither Keirsey nor Germane seems to have noticed that Dionysus and Apollo were half-brothers, their father being Zeus. Keirsey contrasts the SJs and NFs, which he regards as Cooperatives with the SPs and NTs, which he regards as Pragmatics. hometown.aol.com /REBissell/indexms2.html   (1220 words)

Pomona College Magazine :: PCM Online   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20) Keirsey, who scores as a Rational on his own temperament sorter, is more likely to watch someone’s hands than try to probe their mind. Keirsey’s oldest daughter, Janene, a Rational like her father, fondly recalls the dinner-table discussions they had growing up, using salt and pepper shakers as props in their discussions of whether a set can be a subset of itself. Keirsey began his work life as a counselor at a reform school for delinquent boys, and later worked for school districts helping “troubled and troublesome” kids stop being troubled or troublesome. www.pomona.edu /Magazine/pcmfl05/FSkeirsey.shtml   (1862 words)

Jedi Girl - Review - Please Understand Me II - Keirsey However, Keirsey and Bates main interest in the MBTI was to use it as a way to determine temperament.

Keirsey Temperament Sorter - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Keirsey extensively fleshed out the characteristics of the four temperaments in books Please Understand Me (1978) and Please Understand Me II (1998), and renamed them as Artisan, Idealist, Rational, and Guardian in his book Portraits of Temperament (1987). Keirsey uses the words pragmatic and cooperative when comparing the differing temperaments. A second important difference is that the Myers used a linear four-factor model in her descriptions whereas Keirsey uses a systems field theory model in his descriptions. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Keirsey_Temperament_Sorter   (1282 words)

The Four Temperaments, Keirsey: NF, NT, SJ, SP David Keirsey was a successful psychologist who had been observing, tracking, and using type theory for over 30 years before his revolutionary book came out. Keirsey’s temperaments are so consistent, observable, and accurate, that the four similar groupings of personalities have been around since c340 BC, with only slight variations. Keirsey proved that these temperaments are still clear today and, more importantly, that they can be derived not from a separate new test, but rather, can be easily derived from the Myers-Briggs. www.famoustype.com /temperaments.htm   (455 words)

Please Understand Me Or perhaps it was the book's essential message: that members of families and institutions are OK, even though they are fundamentally different from each other, and that they would all do well to appreciate their differences and give up trying to change others into copies of themselves. One major addition is Keirsey's view of how the temperaments differ in the intelligent roles they are most likely to develop.

DigitalCommons@University of Nebraska - Lincoln | Portraits of temperament in American fiction (David Keirsey) David Keirsey, a clinical psychologist and family counselor, has developed a theory of personality based on the Myers-Briggs personality indicator identifying four unique patterns of behavior. According to Keirsey, most conflict in relationships is caused by a failure to accept people the way they are and to see these differences from one's own beliefs as somehow flawed. Keirsey believes conflict arises when individuals are forced to give up their core needs and go against their preferred instincts of behavior. digitalcommons.unl.edu /dissertations/AAI3074072   (399 words)

PTypes - The Four Temperaments (page two) David Keirsey (1984) combined Kretschmer's temperament hypothesis with Jung's behavior description, and with Nietzsche's and Spitteler's Greek typology. When David Keirsey discovered the work of Isabel Myers, he had already been intrigued by the temperament theory of Ernst Kretschmer, a German psychiatrist who was a contemporary of Jung. Keirsey's work on survival games the types play was particularly influenced by Kretschmer, who identified both the functioning and malfunctioning personality traits that were characteristic of his four temperament groups (pg. www.ptypes.com /temperaments2.html   (1495 words)

Keirsey Temperament versus Myer-Briggs Types Keirsey has done an in-depth, systematic analysis and synthesis of aspects of personality for temperament: that included the temperament's unique interests, orientation, values, self-image, and social roles. Keirsey, on the other hand, regards Jung's N/S "scale" as the first "cut" (which of course in reality we "can't" cut the temperament into pieces). The problem with both Keirsey and Myers characterizing of personality for a particular individual is both the complexity of the individual and the myriad of circumstances that effects the individual: its hard to apply general descriptions to some specific examples. users.viawest.net /~keirsey/difference.html   (2221 words)

Keirsey's own complaint that people see those who have a greater tendency toward paying attention to their thoughts than their feelings as "heartless" (page 334). Keirsey complained that Myers' descriptions of "judging" and "perceiving" focused on only one aspect of these letters, he proceeded to do the same thing, only in a different direction, by labeling them "scheduling" and "probing." These terms are no more comprehensive than the original ones, and I find it arrogant of Mr. Keirsey did a better job in his first book regarding these descriptions, which are the foundation for everything else discussed in the book. coffeekorner.com /r-11119/m-Books/b-11194/a-1885705026/Default.aspx   (577 words)

Keirsey devotes a chapter to each temperament, including a description of each of the four psychological types included in that temperament, e.g. I had read Keirsey and Bates at a time when I was taking an MBTI qualifying course, and I found it had value to me because it brought the concepts of personality type more alive than the text from the Consulting Psychologists Press. www.amazon.com /Please-Understand-Temperament-Character-Intelligence/dp/1885705026   (2743 words)

personality styles, types, theories and psychometrics models, personality tests and quizzes theory David Keirsey's interpretation of the Four Temperaments is expressed by Montgomery in a 2x2 matrix, which provides an interesting modern perspective and helpful way to appreciate the model, and also perhaps to begin to apply it to yourself. Keirsey and Montgomery cite the connection between Paracelsus's Four Totem Spirits and the Four Temperaments, however there are others who do not see the same connection to or interpretation of the Four Totem Spirits. Keirsey interestingly also points out that Myers differed markedly from Jung's use of the words Sensation and Perception, which Jung considered held the same meaning, but to which you can see here and elsewhere that the Myers Briggs system attached different meanings. www.businessballs.com /personalitystylesmodels.htm   (12883 words)
