  1. Keirsey Temperament Sorter Personality Assessment

  2. Keirsey Temperament Sorter • Assuming we can model human personality with “reasonable accuracy,” what value would such a model have? • help individuals understand themselves and thus relate better with themselves, and • help individuals understand others so that they are better able to relate with others for personal and business relationships.

  3. Keirsey Temperament Sorter • Personality typing assumes that our whole personality can be divided into four independent areas: • energizing • attending • deciding • living

  4. Keirsey Temperament Sorter • Within each area we have a preference for one or two opposites that define the area. • This makes for a total of 16 different combinations, each of which defines one particular and unique personality type.

  5. Description of the Four Scales • Energizing -- How a person is energized: • Extroversion (E) -- Preference for drawing energy from the outside world of people, activities, or things. • Introversion (I) -- Preference for drawing energy from one’s internal world of ideas, emotions, or impressions.

  6. Description of the Four Scales • Attending -- What a person pays attention to: • Sensing (S) -- Preference for taking in information through the five senses and noticing what is actual. • Intuition (N) -- Preference for taking in information through a “sixth sense” and noticing what might be (unconscious perceiving).

  7. Description of the Four Scales • Deciding -- How a person decides: • Thinking (T) -- Preference for organizing and structuring information to decide in a logical, objective way. • Feeling (F) -- Preference for organizing and structuring information to decide in a personal, value-oriented way.

  8. Description of the Four Scales • Living -- Life style a person adopts: • Judgement (J) -- Preference for living a planned and organized life. • Perception (P) -- Preference for living a spontaneous and flexible life.
