Unit title: Temperament,
Character and Intelligence
Credit value: 3 credits
Description: Jungian personality type (most widely known through the work of Myers and Briggs) has become a popular and invaluable theory with applications in counselling, psychotherapy, education, team building, careers and management. A knowledge of the 16 personality types and how they live, think and interact can promote understanding and tolerance between very different individuals and can shed light on the dynamics of many situations and problems. One branch of Jungian personality typology, focusing on temperament, was developed by David Keirsey out of the work of Myers/Briggs. Keirsey’s “Temperament Sorter” is a user-friendly personality questionnaire that does not require specialised training or licensing to use, and is an invaluable tool for counsellors, therapists and people helpers everywhere. This unit studies Keirsey’s work on personality and temperament, the character of the 16 types, and the use of the Temperament Sorter questionnaire to identify one’s type. It is an ideal starting point for the study of Jungian type.
