What is temperament?

Temperament, as we use the term, refers to the way people perceive and process information. In a sense, temperament is our operating system. While it forms a part of everyone’s personality, it doesn’t define it. Nor should we let it. That is why you cannot conclude that anyone’s temperament is better than another’s.

How does The New Temperament
compare to other assessments?

As human beings, we all have access to the same reservoir of emotions and potentials. Today’s discoveries in neuroscience confirm the plasticity of the human brain and our ability to adapt and change when we believe in ourselves and focus our efforts. Unfortunately, many so-called “personality” assessments convey a sense of judgment. These old-style assessments, developed in the 1970’s or earlier, tend to put people in a box rather than providing a positive framework to flex their sensibilities and awareness. The New Temperament offers a reinterpretation of Carl Jung’s work constructed on this modern view, which provides substantial evidence for personal growth and change that can continue into our latter years. We show how temperaments connect and overlap. We’re all capable of seeing beyond our own temperaments and learning how to operate in new and productive ways. That’s one of the best things about The New Temperament.

 

Why should I try The New Temperament?

Long before futurists like Alvin Toffler realized the world was facing a crisis because it was changing faster than people could adapt to it, psychologists like Carl Jung recognized that our instinctual patterns and behaviors, if not recognized, would not serve us well in a world that was growing more complex and specialized every day. Today, the pace of change continues to accelerate. But many of us remain unaware of our typical patterns of thought. If we’re unaware of the most basic elements of our consciousness and decision-making, how can we hope to understand ourselves or improve our place in life? The New Temperament provides an easy yet thorough way for people to become aware of their temperament, and, similarly, how other people are influenced by their own temperaments. This insight will allow you to make more informed decisions about your future, as well as provide an important perspective on what’s happening in your life right now.

 

What guarantees do I have?

The New Temperament was designed under the guidance of psychologists, executive coaches, educators and personality experts to help people understand their lens on the world. Tens of thousands of people are discovering The New Temperament every day. They are using it to expand their self-knowledge and negotiate various challenges and circumstances in their lives. Still, there’s no guarantee it will work for you. Or that you will completely agree that your report reflects your view of yourself. Like anything else, you’ll need to try it to determine how much value and meaning it brings your life. For some it will be of passing interest. For many it will become a lifelong tool.
