Comparison of the Myers Briggs System and The Keirsey Temperamant Sorter

Customer Secrets

The Keirsey Temperament Sorter is a not stand-alone system, but is linked to the Myers Briggs System. What David Keirsy does with the system he created is to tie the four temperaments to specific personality dimensions from the Myer's Briggs. We like the Myers Briggs for selling because it is about how decisions are made. Most people see personality as "behavior," because it is easy to pick up by observing others. There are four styles of people that are relatively easy to categorize, which are called the four temperaments. Other taxonomies are like DiSC are set up to describe these four temperaments. But the original Myers Briggs system did not have a way to define these temperaments until David Keirsey spotted and notated the dimensions from Myers Briggs. In this episode, we'll briefly cover the four temperaments, and how we can use them to quickly convert them to Myers Briggs and other personality taxonomies.
