Keirsey’s son….
So it turns out David Keirsey’s son runs this website http://www.personalityzone.com which is related to his father’s work, mentioned in my last post from March 31. I was able to contact Keirsey’s son through the site and ask him whether his father had found that temperament styles could change over time. I did this in hopes of shedding any light on whether the temperament styles could be related to our belief stages. Well, his reply was that they have evidence that temperament styles are formed very early in a person’s existence and are not subject to change over time. However, he did state that a person’s personality is a combination of their temperament style PLUS their character….and personality can and does change over time!
So that was helpful. Whether there really is any correlation between the temperament styles and our stages or not is still a bit up in the air, but at least there are factors allowing for the possibility of change over time.
