Hello Raks,
A number of us use Keirsey's Temperaments. His theory is very accessible to someone new to Type so it has great practical use. Otto Kroeger Associates's MBTI Step-1 Qualifying class covers temperament; I qualified through CAPT, so I can't say much beyond that.
Keirsey's Temperament theory splits from MBTI both in Type Development and how the letters are used.
For instance, in MBTI the difference between an INTP and INTJ is in the process preference sequence. (TiNeSFe for INTP and NiTeFSe for INTJ) The J/P indicates which process is Extraverted. According to classic MBTI type development, you develop your Dominant function, then your auxiliary, then your tertiary, then (if ever) your inferior.
In Keirsey (from what I understand), P and J don't relate to Extraverted process and type development happens very differently. Again, I'm not an expert here, so I will stop at this point.
It seems to me that Temperament Theory uses observable behavior more that the unseen internal processes. MBTI tries to get at the internal processes by way of what's observable.
What you decide to do with Type should guide your approach. If you are working with employees and simply wish to improve teamwork and raise awareness of Type diversity, starting with Temperament seems like a good idea. I don't think the two theories are so dissimilar that you'll cause much harm, IMHO.
Could you clarify your "obvious reasons"? It's remarkable how often the obvious isn't so obvious.
HI ROOM,
I am HR professional re-discovering Types thru MBTI.
I have plans to apply the TYPE indicator for employee population for obvious reasons.
I would be interested to know if anybody / any of you has ever mapped 4 Keirsey's Temperament Sorter SP,SJ,NF & NT using MBTI?
Google tells me that although Kiersey's indicators has no direct association with MBTI, but there is a corelation of .74 which is fairly high.
This logically means we can use MBTI to describe the 4 temperament of Keirsey.
Would look forward to hear from all of you !
