Five Temperaments test!

Eric B · 07-26-2008, 01:41 AM

I've just found where someone who also uses the five temperament theory I always talk about, has made up their own free version of the test. This is not the APS test (which is based on FIRO, and bound by a licensing agreement with CPP, Inc), but a simple self-scorer made by listing various traits of the temperaments, which you score 1-5, and see which you come out strongest in. In the real test, you would get a combination of three temperaments (possibly the same) for the areas of Inclusion, Control and Affection, as you can see in my signature. This test does not have that, so you're not getting the full deal of the theory. It is just to give a rough idea, like the kind of informal four temperament tests you can find online or in Tim LaHaye's books, but with the fifth temperament added. Also what I basically did with the MBTI subscales, to get the bar graph in my signature).
So now you all can get an idea if you have any of this new temperament.

Very nice find -- for those capable, this test's scoring wouldn't be too difficult to automate.

Choleric, to little surprise.

melancholic...got a lot of supine too though, it was a close call.

Eric B · 10-03-2008, 12:19 PM

Wow, supports my theory that INFJ= "Melancholy-Supine" (Melancholy [in Inclusion]=INJ, aka "Chart the Course"; Supine [in Control]=NF Idealist.
(ENTJ would be pure Choleric, also)

MuraKoji · 10-03-2008, 12:31 PM

I thought I was Choleric -- But no! I got Sanguine-Phlegmatic here...

What a surprise!

Eric B · 10-03-2008, 12:37 PM

I did expect ENJ (In Charge) to be Choleric (And NF could be Phlegmatic also). Would you have happened to have been close in the J/P scale?

MuraKoji · 10-03-2008, 12:40 PM

@Eric:

I think I'm really really close in every scale, not just J/P. I'm too unique!

wolfy · 10-03-2008, 12:49 PM

I got supine-phlegmatic.

DigitalMethod · 10-03-2008, 01:40 PM

Melancholy > Phlegmatic > Supine

Supine was somewhat close to phlegmatic though.

Supine 48
Melancholy 44
Phlegmatic 42
