THE KEIRSEY TEMPERAMENT SORTER* Page 2 of 6
For my clients and those who would benefit from gaining insight and a fuller
understanding into and about your personality traits and those elusive influences that
steer many of your life choices; that they may further enrich your life, increase more
of what works for you and decrease what does not; deepen rapport and your
connection with loved-ones and friends; maintain good health and high spirits and
reduce stress; and last, but not finally, make your way in the world and enhance
creative and business endeavors and service to others.
I have taken the liberty of offering up David Keirsey’s temperament sorter with
information and references from both Keirsey and Myers-Briggs all of whom have
written books and offer questionnaires for elucidating and organizing feedback about
your personality and assisting in making life choices.
You have my best wishes for an interesting and informative exercise which is not the
end but merely a new beginning. Follow-through and discover your rewards.
