Question

What is temperament and what does it have to do with getting our needs met? Give two examples.

Answer 1

Temperament refers to a person’s natural disposition, the way in which one will consistently behave.  The concept of temperament recognizes that people are born with natural ways of behaving, such as being assertive, friendly, passive, or analytical.  It is a person’s temperament that makes him outgoing and extroverted or shy and introverted.
