  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.

 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.

 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.
