Temperament Test
The test you are about to take electronically is the Jung-Myers Briggs Human Metrics temperament test. It is named for Dr. Carl Jung who was a founding innovator in testing and scientifically documenting the human temperament types. His exhaustive study of human behavior launched today’s scientific psychology on the pathway that both science and education now follow. Isabel Myers and Katherine Briggs took his life’s work to another level by popularizing this test. Scientists for years have studied temperaments and been fascinated by this human phenomena and how these four common basic temperament types transcend and cross sect culture, race and nationality.
Over the years, science has sought to tap into this vast reservoir in predicting human behavior by condensing and refining their teachings around the four principle temperaments listed below instead of the original documented sixteen that all current testing uses in its scoring. These four have been called by different names but always given the same definitions and meanings, i.e. Driver or Dominant was originally named Choleric. Today, many of you have heard of DISC temperament typing. In my training, I refer to the Dominant (D) temperament type as the Driver, the Inspiring (I) as the Expressive, the Supportive (S) as the Amiable, and the Cautious (C) as the Analytical. These four labelings are the most commonly used by scholars today, because they convey a clearer personal depiction of the person’s temperament structure and the behavior associated with it. If this is the first time you have ever taken a temperament test, you may disagree with your scoring. I suggest that you retake the test again a day later and ponder the questions a little more carefully. Take heart, the first time I took the test, many years ago, I questioned it too, but the more I read and studied the more I saw its truth.
