Temperament Assessment

TEMPERAMENT EVOLUTION

Temperament theory describes four organizing patterns of personality and is based on descriptions of behavior that go back over 25 centuries. It tells us the “why” of our behavior, our motivators and our sources of deep psychological stress. The Interstrength Temperament Assessment is the only available instrument designed to identify best-fit temperament patterns. This 40-item questionnaire helps your clients understand their core psychological needs and values as well as the talents they are more drawn to develop. The results will show your clients their ranking for the four temperaments. Knowing and understanding their Temperament patterns will help clients:

• Perform better on the job by aligning it to meet core needs and strengths
• Build relationships and successfully collaborate with people who are of different temperaments
• Know themselves better by learning what drives optimum performance and satisfaction
• Experience more joy, energy and passion for life
