HOW TO DETERMINE YOUR
UNIQUE PERSONALITY STYLE!

SYSTEMS FOR UNDERSTANDING OURSELVES AND OTHERS

A system for understanding people and their motivations is not new and has made its way through history in various ways.

Divisions of four seem to be very common in nature as many people throughout the ages have attempted to classify our personalities into four separate personality types.

There are four directions on a compass.   There are four seasons in a year.  There are four elements on this abode: air, earth, water & fire;  four basic colors;  Air = yellow; earth = green; water = blue; and fire = red.

Hippocrates named the four divisions as:  sanguine, melancholic, plalegmatic and choleric.  Carl Jung named them: theoretical, religious, economic and aesthetic.  Carl Luscher did it with colors.                

Some of the other four divisions have been named:

Intuitor, Feeler, Thinker  & Sensor or Instinctive, Emotional, Intellectual & Moving or Gamesman, Company Men, Craftsman or Jungle Fighter.

Dr. David Keirsey in his book, "Please Understand Me II, has labeled these characteristics  into eight categories:   Sensation, Intuition, Thinking, Feeling, Judgment, Perception, Introversion and Extroversion.

Whatever they are called there seems to be consistency in the division of four basic character temperaments with some variations in each of these character traits.

By understanding that we are all different in the ways we take in the information around us, and different in the ways we process this information, and in the ways we act on this information, we begin to understand how each of us are important to the team of life.   We each contribute in our own way to the whole.  And that is okay!  Each one should be valued.

We need to value our contributions and then we can appreciate the value that other's contribute.  By understanding ourselves, we can begin to understand those around us in our families, our co-workers, our bosses and our children.  

Just as in the rainbow, different colors relate to your personality.  All personalities can work, play or live together harmoniously when you understand the differences.  You can get an insight to your personality by choosing the colors you like the best.




What is your energy source?  Do you primarily gain energy and enthusiasm when you have some time alone or when you are with others?

Extroversion and Introversion (E/I)
Are you an introvert or extrovert?

Choose the color that just appeals to you the most as you look at them right now.   Your energy usually comes predominately from within yourself or by mixing and drawing from others.

What you can see, touch, hear, taste, etc is the way you take in your information....or do take time to use your imagination and vision for part of your input?

Intuition and Sensing (N/S)

In what way do you take in the information around you?

Choose the color that just appeals to you the most as you look at them right now.  

Everyone thinks and everyone feels.  Most of us process the information we take in by thinking more than feeling or feeling more than thinking.

Thinking and Feeling (T/F)

How do you process the information you have taken in?

Choose the color that just appeals to you the most as you look at them right now.

Do you take time to make decisions and like to keep your options open or do you tend to make snap judgments and act fast on most occasions?  

Judgment and Perception (J/P)

How do you act on the data you have taken in?

Choose the color that just appeals to you the most as you look at them right now.

Most people who choose  the yellow, tend to be perceptors.  And those who like the blue are judgers.,etc. 

What does this all mean? 

People can be easily divided into four basic groups: The NF, SJ, NT or the SJ.  On the next few pages you will begin to see more clearing just what motivates you and will better understand others.
