Identify and summarize personal characteristics
What is Personality anyway?
Do you ever wonder why whenever we describe
someone’s personality, we usually refer to the attitude
and behavior? It is because our attitudes speak of our
personality. But there is more to behavior and attitude
that comprises a person’s character. Our emotional,
mental, spiritual, and physical well-being all build up
our so-called personality.

What is the Keirsey Temperament
Assessment?

The Keirsey Temperament Sorter (KTS) is a selfassessed personality questionnaire designed to help
people better understand themselves and others. It was
first introduced in the book Please Understand Me. The
KTS is closely associated with the Myers-Briggs Type
Indicator (MBTI); however, there are significant practical
and theoretical differences between the two personality
As Concrete Cooperators, Guardians speak
mostly of their duties and responsibilities, of
what they can keep an eye on and take good
care of, and they're careful to obey the laws,
follow the rules, and respect the rights of
others.
As Abstract Utilitarian, Rationals speak mostly
of what new problems intrigue them and what
new solutions they envision, and always
pragmatic, they act as efficiently as possible to
achieve their objectives, ignoring arbitrary rules
and conventions if need be.
As Abstract Cooperators, Idealists speak mostly
of what they hope for and imagine might be
possible for people, and they want to act in
good conscience, always trying to reach their
goals without compromising their personal
code of ethics.
As Concrete, Artisans speak mostly about
what they see right in front of them, about
what they can get their hands on, and they will
do whatever works, whatever gives them a
quick, effective payoff, even if they have to bend
the rules.
