My last post was a lot of information about the chemistry behind personality and I bet some of you thought, "So what?". Well, here is the "so what".
Personality is actually made up of different parts. What this website tests for is actually called Temperament. Temperament is what you are genetically predisposed to. This is because of genetics and the chemicals that we talked about in my last post.
The other part of personality is Character. Character is made up of our experiences, choices, and influences of others. Often when people are looking at this website or others like it, they feel pigeon holed or not fully understood because they feel that it takes our choices out of the equation. These websites are just a start to understanding our personality.
Through learning of our Temperament we can see what we are predisposed to through nature to become and then as we analyze ourselves, experiences, influences from people and things, and our own choices is when we really start to become fully aware of our true, full, personality.
So basically Personality is nature and nurture along with choice. I think this is important when working with children or even researching this about ourselves. Since there is more that goes into who we are, we need to truly look to understand each other in all aspects.
There is one more piece that I feel is important to talk about when working with children. Each child goes through developments physically, mentally, and emotionally that can affect their behavior. As great as it would be to be able to know their temperament and have an answer always, that won't be the case because their of their development and Character. Keep this in mind as you look for solutions.
This website can help a lot with understanding motivations and giving a great jumping off point for teaching your children, but understand that you will have to put in some more effort to see the Character side of their personality. If you ever need help or advice, I would love to help! Email me or comment below!
Please share this site or posts with anyone you think it might help! I just want parents, kids, teachers, to all have understanding between them and the best relationships possible!

ReplyDeleteGreat post!i was always wondering what is personality?can you change it?and what is explosive temperament?thank you for this article!
ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeleteSince personality is two parts (temperament and character), part is inborn and the other is from influences of family, culture, and your own choice to change things about yourself.
So technically you can't change your temperament because it was how you were born, but you can change the character side of it. But still your dominant personality type will still be the same because of the temperament side of personality. But you can work on things about yourself that you would like to change.
Reading this article about explosive temperament was very interesting. There are two definitions of temperament. The temperament I am talking about is the genetic predisposition to behave a certain way. In this article it was talking about temperament in a cultural sense, so mostly the character side of personality. The parts of Russian women that they discuss seem to be related to the influences of family and nationality influences.
I hope that answered your question. If not, write back and I will try to answer! Thank you again!
