Four Temperaments of Human Behaviours

On the second day of MPU studies, we were taught of the four temeperaments of human behaviours - this being the 'D', 'C', 'I' and 'S' behaviour.


We were provided with questions to further help us understand this concept. Below are my answers. 

1.      Determine your unique personality based on the model attached.

‘D’ behaviour.

2.      Consider how opposite personalities often are attracted to each other in order to 'complete' themselves.
Those with opposite personalities make up for the characteristics that the other person lack. For example, those with ‘S’ behaviours will be impressed by people with ‘D’ behaviours as ‘S’’s are usually submissive whilst ‘D’’s are dominant.

3.      Think about the obvious differences between you and your other team members.
Those with ‘C’ behaviours are more compliant and calculating and wait for exact instructions, while those with ‘D’ behaviours tend to take charge and are dominating, disregarding the directives. Others with ‘S’ behaviours prefer to listen to other people and are soft-spoken, whereas those with ‘I’ behaviours mingle and influence others.

4.      Ask your closest friends about how opposite personalities in their lives have helped and benefited them.
Those with opposite personalities can correct each other’s weaknesses and influence the other to take on some of their better characteristics. For example, when those with ‘D’ behaviours are being too pushy, their friends can point it out and advise them on how to consider everyone else’s opinion.

5.      Begin thinking about the so called "weakness" of others as "uniqueness's"
Those with ‘D/C’ behaviours are both task-oriented and focus on their jobs at hand while those with ‘I/S’ behaviours are people-oriented and build connections with others. People with ‘D/I’ behaviours are more active and outgoing, hence preferring to voice out their thoughts, whereas those with ‘C/S’ behaviours tend to be more reserved and passive, and pay attention to details and are more stable.
