Review # 1 was written on 2013-03-18 00:00:00 David Anible I found this book to be helpful, prior to my coming back to the Catholic Faith I was trying really hard to know who I was, I tried the Enneagram and trans-personal psychological methods to figure out who I was, I went to assessment tests grounded in Jungian Psychology too, only to still feel like as if something was missing. It was only after finding out that the MTBI 16-Types can be reduced to the 4 Classical Temperaments that I really considered getting this book. When I opened this book, I had this sense of clarity about who I was and where I was going that I never had before. This book makes a great primer to understand each of the 4 Temperaments and from there to know what the strengths and weaknesses are that each temperament has only then to know how best to address each temperaments. It also helps to know how to interact with other people, including children of the particular temperaments too. This book gives a balance between the psychological and theological so as to understand how God's Grace and the Sacramental and Interior Life of the Church Tradition can help better form each temperament so that they arrive at the full stature they were intended to become.

Review # 2 was written on 2009-01-07 00:00:00 Ashton Tehaney SO AWESOME! I can't believe how much understanding there is of people's temperaments. This book is not about personality but about our natural reactions to stimuli. How cool! PLEASE READ THIS BOOK if you have ever been interested in getting to know yourself better. It also has great information about the best ways to treat and interact with people of other temperaments in all types of relationship situations. The Temperament God Gave you is really a diamond in the rough.
