Temperament and Relationships

By Larry Kidder

For thousands of years, philosophers have noticed that four basic types of people exist. Hippocrates was among the first to write about it, labelling the four types as phlegmatic, choleric, melancholy, and sanguine. More recent theorists have included Carl Jung, David Kiersey, and the mother-daughter duo of Katharine Cook-Briggs and Isabel Briggs-Myers. The latter duo developed the well-known Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI), which is one of the best-known temperament questionnaires. However, the complex nature of the four-letter code makes it somewhat impractical and difficult to remember. What if there was a way to make it more useful, memorable, and fun? My answer: Combine the MBTI with Keith Golay's animal groups he used to describe teaching and learning styles. This book merges the MBTI with Golay's temperament animal groups, the Bears, Apes, Dolphins, and Owls. In addition, variations and contradictions within the temperament models have been reworked into a single more consistent model. By reading this book, you will learn about temperament theory and fun ways to apply it to your interpersonal relationships. This journey changed my life. Additional models for understanding the Limbic System and developing a tool set to build your Vital Self are included. When you finish this book, I believe you will be the coolest and most rational person in the room, able manage your mood as well as the moods of those around you.
