The four types

The four temperaments, explained

Four natures, each with its own rhythm. Read the short portraits below, or take the test to find your own blend.

The four temperaments are a simple map of human character. Each one describes a way of meeting the world: how you spend energy, how you handle feeling, and how you recover when life gets heavy.

No temperament is better than another. Each has clear gifts and a familiar weak spot. Most people lead with one and lean on a second, which is why the test gives you a blend rather than a single box.
