The 5 Temperaments:
1. Primary Temperament
Your first temperament in your personality type is your primary intelligence. It is beyond important to the point that it is simply how the world is for you. It's what is completely obvious and natural to you. You use it all the time without even thinking about it. If anyone behaves against this intelligence system, including yourself, you will have a negative social-ethical reaction. Your primary temperament governs all the ones underneath, so they can only be used only if they are not violating this one.

ARTISANS - Diversive Toying
Artisan is group-level social intelligence, having playful interactions with the people around you.
It's a layer of social pleasantness on top of the raw individual survival intelligence.
Also toying and being tricky with the physical things and movements required in daily life.
Gaining tactile physical skills is natural, and styled performance of those skills is enjoyable.

Groups and individuals have different responsibilities to support a larger and more stable social structure. Being polite and rude is adhering to or breaking the social norms in daily interactions. Prone to learning repeatable physical procedures, and reliable execution of them gives stability.
Guardian Procedural Maintaing is the second fastest social intelligence, carrying out fixed duties and pre-defined rules relative to different groups across society.
Guardians introduce identifying accounts and norms into the language.
So, Artisans toy around to figure out moves that work, and then Guardians repeat them as stable procedures across a larger clan.
EXTRIANS - Motivated Expressing
Extrian is tribe-level social intelligence, expressing a persona to develop public representation.
Communicating goals across the society and driving motivation for people to move towards them.
Openly expressing all the experiences and social dynamics.

Highlighting conflicting situations using inspirational hyperbolic language. Drawn to creating imaginative artwork, music, literature, and speaking points that spread across groups and cultures for inspiration.

Idealists introduce symbolic metaphors and hyperbole into the language.
So, Extrians create a hierarchical tribe or nation, and then Idealists continually connect them towards world unification.
RATIONALS - Functional Patterning
Rational is galactic-level social intelligence, analyzing how natural systems function on Earth and out into the universe. Giving everyone knowledge of the patterns in nature to create tools and technology to advance civilization. Being as accurate as possible with information and proving false old theories when new data becomes available. Prone to writing theory, equations, and system designs, then testing the truth and function in applying them.
Rational Functional Patterning is the slowest social intelligence, it can take months or years of theorizing and analyzing to reach a pattern or equation that can be made functional.
These patterns are only for knowledge. If you combine Rational with the other ones you get social action.
R&A is tactical manuevers. R&G is the hard sciences. R&E is strategic planning. R&I is philosophy and social sciences.
So, Idealists unify the cultures of the world, and then Rationals develop the systems and technology to advance across earth and interact with our galaxy.
16 Myers-Briggs (MBTI) types vs. 120 Temprenality types
- E (Extroversion) - Extrian is top 2
- I (Introversion) - Extrian is not top 2
- S (Sensing) - Artisan/Guardian is above Idealist/Rational
- N (Intuition) - Idealist/Rational is above Artisan/Guardian
- F (Feeling) - Idealist is above Rational
- T (Thinking) - Rational is above Idealist
- P (Perceiving) - Artisan is above Guardian
- J (Judging) - Guardian is above Artisan
In MBTI the preferences come in pairs, which results in 16 Personality types.
Temprenality holds that they are not paired in that way, everyone has all 5 temperaments in a specific order, which results in 120 much more accurate personality types.
All 120 Temprenality types can be mapped to Myers & Briggs 16 MBTI types as shown above. These temperament names come from Plato & Aristotle, except Extrian which is related to Carl Jung's extrovert.
David Keirsey related the 16 MBTI types to their corresponding main temperament, and then Brian Lewis redefined the temperaments with new system names and created the ranked order system for the 120 types.
It's over 2000 years of personality contributors leading to these 120 Temprenality types.
Here are the 120 Temprenalities per Myers-Briggs/Keirsey Type
- ISFP "Composer" - AIGER, AIGRE, AIEGR, AIERG, AIRGE, AIREG, AGIRE, AGIER, AGEIR.
- ISFJ "Protector" - GIAER, GIARE, GIEAR, GIERA, GIRAE, GIREA, GAIRE, GAIER, GAEIR.

Moreover
The percentage of the population by first temperament is Artisan 55%, Guardian 21%, Extrian 14%, Idealist 9%, and Rational 1%.
The temperaments are the human social intelligence systems. The 5 temperaments ranked in order are your personality type. Note that personality type does not include universal emotions, basic survival behaviors, sexual selection, trauma responses, or personal experience and skills; those are separate categories of human behavior. Temprenality is observable behavior theory intended to identify other people's personality types. That's why we ask your acquaintances observation of your behavior to identify your type.
Each temperament in the personality governs all the ones under it. This creates a stack of filters through which each person can understand and interact with the world as a human social being. Awareness is limited by your personality. It is a different world for each type. It's what allows different people to understand different things and make different contributions to society. The temperaments are all good social intelligence systems, and everyone has all 5, in a different order.
At this point, you are probably hopefully getting the whole picture of human social intelligence. So, you may want to go back and take the test again for yourself, and take it for other people. As you get good at it you won't need the test to recognize the personalities of everyone in everyday life.
And also, this is not a self-help book, but if you are feeling down about humanity, you can see everyone is helping each other way more than most people realize. Individual survival behaviors can be quite harsh, but all the social intelligence behaviors are very good between people.
