WHAT IS TEMPERAMENT?
WHERE DO THE CHARACTERISTICS COME FROM?
Temperament is behavioural style: the how of behaviour rather than the what or why. Temperamental differences are present at birth; they influence how children behave toward individuals and objects in their environments and how they are affected by the environment.
Temperament characteristics explain in part how individuals with many stresses may do well while some with little or no stress have difficulty

TEMPERAMENT
According to the Encyclopedia Britannica, in psychology, temperament is the aspect of personality concerned with emotional dispositions and reactions and their speed and intensity; the term often is used to refer to the prevailing mood or mood pattern of a person.
The notion of temperament in this sense originated with Hippocrates and Galen who developed it from an earlier physiological theory of four basic body fluids (humours): blood, phlegm, black bile, and yellow bile. According to their relative predominance in the individual, they were supposed to produce, respectively, temperaments designated sanguine (warm, pleasant), phlegmatic (slow-moving, apathetic), melancholic (depressed, sad), and choleric (quick to react, hot tempered).

TYPE OF NERVOUS SYSTEM
AFTER I.P. PAVLOV
I.P. Pavlov classifies types of higher nervous activity according to several attributes that considered as most reliable indices of higher nervous activity. These were intensity of the excitation and inhibition, the ratio of these processes in central nervous system and their mobility, that is rate at which excitation was replaced by inhibition and wise versa. In experimental practice the following four principle types of higher nervous activity are met:
1) strong unbalanced type, characterized by predominance of excitation over inhibition;
2) strong well-balanced active type, characterized by high mobility of nerve processes;
3) strong well-balanced passive type, characterized by low mobility of nerve processes;
4) weak type, characterized by extremely weak development of both excitation and inhibition, which cause fatigue and low workability.

TYPES OF NERVOUS SYSTEM AND TEMPERAMENT

EYSENCK’S THREE DIMENSIONS OF PERSONALITY.
British psychologist Hans Eysenck developed a model of personality based upon just three universal trails:
Introversion/Extraversion:
Introversion involves directing attention on inner experiences, while extraversion relates to focusing attention outward on other people and the environment. So, a person high in introversion might be quiet and reserved, while an individual high in extraversion might be sociable and outgoing.

EYSENCK’S THREE DIMENSIONS OF PERSONALITY.
Neuroticism/Emotional Stability: This dimension of Eysenck’s trait theory is related to moodiness versus even-temperedness. Neuroticism refers to an individual’s tendency to become upset or emotional, while stability refers to the tendency to remain emotionally constant.

EYSENCK’S THREE DIMENSIONS OF PERSONALITY.
Psychoticism:
Later, after studying individuals suffering from mental illness, Eysenck added a personality dimension he called psychoticism to his trait theory. Individuals who are high on this trait tend to have difficulty dealing with reality and may be antisocial, hostile, non-empathetic and manipulative.

CHOLERIC

YOUR BODY AND YOUR PERSONALITY
Sometime during the early 1900's a German psychiatrist named Ernst Kretschmer was probably the first person ever, to observe a correlation between people's body build and some of their fundamental behavior patterns. He established
3 personality-types based on his theory, and named them
Athletic, Pyknic, and Asthenic.
He then recorded his observations in a book titled,
"Physique and Character“

Endomorphy is centered on the abdomen, and the whole digestive system.
Mesomorphy is focused on the muscles and the circulatory system.

WHAT IS CHARACTER?
Character is the set of psychological traits and mechanisms within the individual that is organized and relatively enduring (устойчивых) and that influences his or her interactions with, and adaptations to, the environment (including the intrapsychic, physical, and social environment).

GORDON ALLPORT’S TRAIT THEORY
In 1936, psychologist Gordon Allport found that one English-language dictionary alone contained more than 4,000 words describing different personality traits. He categorized these traits into three levels:
Cardinals Traits: Traits that dominate an individual’s whole life, often to the point that the person becomes known specifically for these traits. People with such personalities often become so known for these traits that their names are often synonymous with these qualities.

GORDON ALLPORT’S TRAIT THEORY
Central Traits: These are the general characteristics that form the basic foundations of personality. These central traits, while not as dominating as cardinal traits, are the major characteristics you might use to describe another person. Terms such as intelligent, honest, shy and anxious are considered central traits.

GORDON ALLPORT’S TRAIT THEORY
Secondary Traits: These are the traits that are sometimes related to attitudes or preferences and often appear only in certain situations or under specific circumstances. Some examples would be getting anxious when speaking to a group or impatient while waiting in line.
