What's Your Temperament?: Identifying and Enhancing Your Personality Strengths

Psychologists and spouses, Dr. Deb Brock and Dr. Ron Johnson have published What's Your Temperament? to instruct, inspire, and encourage people to have a special understanding of themselves and other people. They describe four different temperaments that exist in people identified as "lovers" who love the world, "analysts" who understand the world, "caretakers" who protect the world, and "players" who experience the world. People with these four temperaments also approach family, friends, work and relationships all quite differently. This work focuses on the strengths and challenges of each temperament together with practical suggestions for conversation and engagement based on how differently they experience, feel, think, and do things. There is also a call for maturity within and beyond one's basic temperament.
