You have heard this before but still want to remind you more about the four basic temperament with their strengths and weaknesses.

What is Temperament?
This is the combination of traits we inherited from our parents. No one knows where it resides, but I think it is somewhere in the mind often referred to as heart. Temperament is not the only influence upon our behavior, it is however, the Number One influence on a person's life, not only because it is the first thing that affects us , but because, like body structure, colour of eyes, and other physical characteristics, it escorts us through life. It is the combination of inborn traits that subconsciously affect man's behaviour ranging from race, sex, basis of nationality and other hereditary factors. Temperament is passed on through genes and no doubt was influenced by the Adamic fall.
The primary advantage to learning about the four basic temperaments is to discover your most pronounced strengths and weaknesses so that with God's help you can overcome your weaknesses and take advantage of your strengths. In this way you fulfill your personal destiny to the maximum.

Now that you have met the four temperaments, you no doubt realize why "people are individuals." Not only are there four distinct types of temperaments that produce these differences, but the combinations, mixtures, and degrees of temperament multiply the possible differences. In spite of that, however, most people reveal a pattern of behaviour that indicates they lean towards one predominant temperament.
