	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.

		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.

	David Keirsey - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Keirsey provides his own definitions of the sixteen types initially identified by Myers, based on his studies of the five behavioral sciences (anthropology, biology, ethology, psychology, and sociology).
		Keirsey's stance regarding ADHD has led him to count himself among the minority of clinical psychologists who believe that giving psychotropic stimulants to schoolboys, whose greater activity and/or distractable temperaments are considered disruptive to classroom proceedings, was not only unnecessary but harmful to these boys.
		Keirsey asserts that Attention Deficit Disorder was an altogether different matter, in that these children were inactive and paid no attention to the teacher's agenda, and that ADD was defined exclusively by stating what they do not do, and in no way defined their observable behavior.

		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.

	Keirsey Temperament Sorter - Psychology Wiki
		The Keirsey Temperament Sorter(KTS) is a self-assessed personality questionnaire designed to help people better understand themselves, first introduced in the book Please Understand Me. KTS is closely associated with the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) however there are significant practical and theoretical differences between the two [personality questionnaires] and their associated different descriptions.
		David Keirsey developed the Temperament Sorter after being introduced to MBTI by a friend; however, Keirsey traces the idea of temperament back to the ancient Greeks.
		Keirsey believes that whether someone is observant or is introspective, is much more important distinction than whether someone is expressive(somewhat correlated to extroverted) or attentive(somewhat correlated to introverted).

		Keirsey had long been interested in the concept of temperament, and while he does discuss the MBTI preferences, both books focus mainly on temperament.
		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.

	The 'Keirsey Stratagem' - What Is It and Can It Help Us to Clarify the Relationship Between the Enneagram and MBTI?
		In Keirsey's new book, the 'NF', to use one of the core types as an example, is no longer defined in Keirsey by reference to 'N' and 'F' - ie, to the 'four function' theory that Pat and I have called the Jungian 'infrastructure' of MBTI theory.
		Each 'temperament', as Walter Geldart brought my attention to in his review of the new Keirsey book in the current issue of this Journal, can now be defined by how individuals of that temperament rank their preference for these 'intellects'.
		Note that Keirsey is inserting his new 'infrastructure' at a level of theory that is once removed from the level at which the 'four functions' reside.

	The Four Temperaments, Keirsey: NF, NT, SJ, SP
		Keirsey’s Temperament Theory is still widely used today by businesses, individuals, counselors, organizations, and educators across the globe.
		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.

	PTypes - The Four Temperaments (page two)
		Keirsey notes themes in the various observations and the consistent tendency of human behavior.
		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.

		David Mark Keirsey cites, in particular, the Web's openness to "ideas not from the mainstream academic or commercial institutions" (personality tests not offered by a practitioner in a face-to-face setting are still frowned on by the psychological establishment).
		Kathryn, who collected Keirsey results on alt.support.depression (and who, like most of that newsgroup's participants, posts using only her first name), says that, judging by the newsgroup member's reactions, "A majority of them were taking the Sorter for fun, but there were some who really analyzed the results and applied it to themselves.
		The Keirsey Sorter and a test with which it is often associated, the similar but much longer Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (a popular psychometric tool used mostly by corporations but that cannot be taken online), are both based, at least in part, on Carl Jung's psychological type theory of personality.

	Keirsey's Mirror Temperaments: a New Bridge Between Type and Temperament
		Further, it could be pointed out, while Keirsey says some interesting things about cooperative vs. utilitarian behavioral styles in relation to his four temperaments, he seems to abandon or de-emphasize the temperaments, splitting them down the middle, in discussing another very interesting set of behavioral styles, the role-directives and role-informatives.
		Keirsey has four key ethical concepts that he proposes to illuminate and explain with his temperament model, and a close look at what he does with them will provide some unexpected new connections between temperament and type theory.
		We have distilled the essence of role-directiveness from Keirsey's NJ and ST groups and found it to be the four TJ types, and we have distilled the essence of role-informativeness from his NP and SF groups and found it to be the four FP types.

	A Short Description of the Myers-Briggs and Keirsey Methods (Site not responding. Last check: )
		The Myers-Briggs method was developed over a period of forty years by Isabel Briggs Myers and her mother, Katharine Cook Briggs, and grew from their encounters, starting in 1923, with the ideas of the great Swiss philosopher C.G. Jung.
		This suggests a potential mismatch between IT professionals and the users that they serve who are predominately "feelers" and "perceivers." In order to serve the needs of end users IT people may need to consciously develop their non-preferences, not to mention communicating with people in other kinds of businesses.
		The Keirsey Temperament Sorter is sometimes used to simplify the Myers-Briggs method, basically stressing four temperaments: Artistan, Idealist, Rational, and Guardian.
