Keirsey’s Temperament Types

CommunicationConcrete –talk about reality

talk primarily about the external, concrete world of everyday reality

facts and figures, work and play, home and family, news, sports and weather

all the who-what-when-where-and how much's of life

Utilitarian -do what works

act primarily in a utilitarian or pragmatic manner

do what gets results, what achieves their objectives as effectively or efficiently as possible

only afterwards do they check to see if they are observing the rules or going through proper

channels

Keirsey’s Temperament TypesAction

Artisan Idealist

Guardian

Rational

Artisan

As Concrete Utilitarians, Artisans speak mostly about what they see right in front of them, about what they can get their hands on, and they will do whatever works, whatever gives them a quick, effective payoff, even if they have to bend the rules.

Idealist

As Abstract Cooperators, Idealists speak mostly of what they hope for and imagine might be possible for people, and they want to act in good conscience, always trying to reach their goals without compromising their personal code of ethics.

Rationals

As Abstract Utilitarians, Rationals speak mostly of what new problems intrigue them and what new solutions they envision, and always pragmatic, they act as efficiently as possible to achieve their objectives, ignoring arbitrary rules and conventions if need be.

Guardian

As Concrete Cooperators, Guardians speak mostly of their duties and responsibilities, of what they can keep an eye on and take good care of, and they're careful to obey the laws, follow the rules, and respect the rights of others.
