Do You Know Your Temperament?

Am an introvert – melancholic.
What about you?

Hey you’ll!

Hope you’ll well in this current lock down situation all over the world! Many of the answers for human behavior can be found in people’s temperaments or personalities. Well, with that said, let me open my today’s focus which is basically on, what temperaments are? Do you know your temperament? It may sound normal but I urge you to get to know what your temperament/personality is, it will help you understand why you behave the way that you do.

“there are “reasons” for everything we do as human beings, though it is often difficult for us to understand why we think like we think, feel like we feel, or act like we acting life”

Dr. D. W. Ekstrand.

Knowing your temperament will help you understand your different behaviors and feelings, a genetic explanation
of human“Temperaments” or “
Personalities” is that all of us
have been born with genetically
inherited “behavioral tendencies” that are as much a part of our DNA as is the color of our hair, so our human
behavior is shaped equally by our environment and by our DNA. Thus, all of us as human beings have been hard-wired by our Creator and we have all been
impacted by the world around us.

Extroverts are people who enjoy other people’s company and are very happy when relating with others. They are open to public and sociable places. Extroverts are very good at relating with others, these are the people that can start a conversation with anyone much easier than an introvert.

Highly extroverted Personalities like the Choleric and Sanguine personality-types are more “out-going,” more sociable,
and more comfortable in a crowd, even standing out in a crowd, they are highly relational beings. While highly introverted Personalities like the
Melancholy and Phlegmatic personalities are more shy and“reserved”and feel anxious about being in crowd, especially at being singled-out in a crowd, unlike extroverts these are very organizational beings, some people call them the perfectionist.

Introverts are the people that are very comfortable and prefer being alone in their own personal space and they have no problem with it, they are reserved.

All that said, you have to know that all human beings have a degree of each of these four personality
types within them, though each
person will definitely test out
higher in one,with another being
a close second. No individual
only possesses one personality
type, and most of us have a very
strong secondary temperament. Whatever your
temperament or personality is, God is the one who has given you the abilities and sensitivities that you possess, and He has given those things to you for a purpose, that you might faithfully work at
developing them and using them
in His service.

You Should take one of the
personality tests available today,
you would discover that you
possess dominant characteristics
in a couple of the temperaments,
and each kind of personality has a general characteristic associated with it. I would love to stop here and pick it up next time with more description of the temperaments in depth. Thank you for joining in today, hope you have taken a thing or two.

Till tomorrow as I come in with the purpose driven life. Lots of love, stay blessed.
