Temperament is
A set of dimensions that exist on a spectrum which describe preferences regarding:
E-I (Environments)
S-I (Learning and Information Conceptualization)

J-P (Time Management)
Most people are not purely one dimension or the other
When conditions are out of synch with people’s preferences they often feel “stress”

Value sentiment above objectivity
Good at assessing the human impact
