WHAT MAKES YOU BEHAVE LIKE YOU?

By
Recently or should I say for sometime now, there's been a lot of questions on my mind about why I act the way I do, why I react a particular way to a situation, different from how another person would react in such situation, what makes individuals act alike or differently as the case may be, etc. Okay, these questions kept coming so, I used one of the special and most useful products of technological advancement, the google search engine to solve the mystery.

Of course, I discovered that these questions were popular to the majority all around the world, which gave rise to research on why we act the way we do by psychologists and other individuals.

From my finding, this research gave rise to the discovery of what we now refer to as TEMPERAMENTS. My simple definition of temperament goes thus: Temperament refers to the fundamentals of why we act the way we do when presented with different situations or circumstances and also in our daily lives. These fundamentals are genetic and are inherited from our parents, the genes combine randomly to give an individual their temperamental traits.

Four major temperament groups are known but no individual can be 100% of a particular temperament, two temperaments (the primary and secondary temperaments) come together to form a blend that ultimately determines how we act and react on a daily basis. There are twelve major blends of temperaments known. It should be noted that, although two individuals may have the same temperament blend, they may not act similarly, this is due to environmental influence as well as the percentage combination of each temperament making the blend.

In another article, we would be discussing the four temperament types and their blends, we would further discuss the characteristics of each blend, strengths and weaknesses. This is sure gonna be an interesting series so, DON'T MISS OUT!

In a previous article , we introduced temperaments as the fundamental reasons we act differently or alike as the case may be. The four major temperaments known are: Choleric (extroverted) Sanguine (extroverted) Melancholic (introverted)   Phlegmatic /Supine (introverted) Each of these temperaments have traits that are unique to them. When the temperaments blend together in a person, we see the person exhibit traits from their temperamental blend. The traits they show more determine their Primary temperament while the Secondary temperament, as the name implies, balances it out. The four temperaments combine to form blends which are 12 in number. You might also show tetiary and quaternary traits from other temperaments but these are negligible.  The 12 blends of temperaments (from the most extroverted to the most introverted) are:  Sanguine-Choleric (San-Chlor) - Complete Extrovert Choleric-Sanguine (Chlor-San) - Complete Extrovert  Sanguine-Phlegmatic (San-Phleg) -

An INFJ's Journey To Self Discovery

©16personalities.com In one sentence - It was hard. Growing up, I discovered quite quickly that I was different. The two words that I remember being used to describe me while growing up were - "Quiet and Slow." There were many instances in which the words were used but, the most notable experience was my tenth birthday anniversary.  I was born into a Christian family, so most celebrations were carried out within the religious gathering - my ten years old birthday celebration was not excluded either. It was a surprise celebration - I had no idea that it was being planned until the birthday morning when a huge cake landed on our doorstep. We (My family and I) took the cake and some snacks to the church family for the celebration, as was the norm.  Several people who had close relationships with me were given the chance to talk about me during the ceremony. I remember vividly because the event was recorded into a tape which I watched severally growing up. My brother
