Personality Type and Temperament

Recent research in the field of personality type includes the work of David Keirsey, who created the theory of temperament associated with type. Keirsey observed that similarities among different personality types allowed him to distill or aggregate the sixteen types into four distinct temperaments. Each of the sixteen personality types falls within a single temperament. The names of the temperaments, as well as the individual personality types found within each temperament, are Keirsey's own descriptions.
