The study of the Nine Temperaments is called the Enneagram and is described in the free ebook listed above. The Enneagram types (Temperaments) are not made up of lists of character traits, but are founded in a person's core values. Each Temperament represents what that person considers something very important to their life such as power, security, harmony, knowledge, fulfillment, i.e.
Your Temperament enables you to make a valuable contributions to your life; but it also causes you to neglect other values, creating a psychological ‘blind spot” for you.

5 Helps For Perfectionists Victor Powell
Secretly, I think deep down in all of us there is a desire to be perfect.
To have the perfect hair, the perfect body shape, the perfect teeth, the perfect face, the perfect attitude, personality, parents, siblings, friends, spouse, children, the list goes on and on. The desire to have things just right is a river running deep within us. However, there are some for which the desire to be perfect becomes an obsession. And because perfection continues to escape their grip, discouragement settles in. There is nothing worse than a discourage perfectionist. So the question is what can the discourage perfectionist do? The answer is far from simple, giving themselves permission to be imperfect, accepting that they can't change anyone, learning to say "I'm sorry and "will you forgive me?", accepting criticism properly, and taking small bites of reality goes a long way towards the cure.

Aamir Says No To Politics
Pricey indeed! Bollywood perfectionist Aamir knows the pulse and what a way to pay tribute to our dear Bharat urf Manoj Kumar the undisputed desh bhakth from Bollywood...
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. Start each day by giving yourself permission to be imperfect.
Perfection isn't achievable and the continued pursuit of it borders on insanity. Try making a conscious effort to go easy on criticizing yourself and others. People who are perfectionist most often have high moral and personal standards that when transposed onto others, can be seen as being highly critical. Perfectionists are hardest on themselves than anyone else and need to accept the fact that things will never be "just right". Accepting the as a human being we are flawed from birth, will go a long way to less stressful life

Anxiety increases the risk of experiencing heart attack, stroke or heart failure in individuals already suffering from heart disease, a new study finds.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
2. Learn to accept that there is no way you can change anybody else's behavior. Stop trying.
The only person you can change is yourself. Even as I write this, I can no more change your behavior than anyone else's, and my only goal is to give you ideas on how you can change should you choose to accept them. The world and your life would be a lot freer and less stressful if people can stop trying to change each other. This is true in any type of relationship that you are in. No matter what you like or dislike in the people in your life, no matter how much you protest, ultimately you cannot force change. Stop trying.
3. Memorize "I was wrong," "I'm sorry," and "Will you forgive me?", and use them often.
Ego aside and no matter if you were in the right, this is sound advice for any person in any situation. Admitting that you were in the wrong, and truly feeling sorry, and asking for forgiveness acknowledges our fallibility. Many times, the perfectionist gets into conflicts because he/she is afraid or refuses to say either "I'm sorry," or "I was wrong," and subsequently, "Will you forgive me?" Living peaceably, stress-free, and genuine life, these three sentences are a prerequisite. Memorize them and use them often.
4. Do not be so quick to put yourself down and when others criticize, do not be so quick to react.
Perfectionists are sensitive people. Perfectionist need to be aware of their sensitivity, it an integral part of being a perfectionist. They feel things deeply than others, rightly and wrongly. Admitting this fact not only helps understanding how they react, but also helps them to begin coping with it patiently. I underline patiently for those that want it now. Learning to develop a "thick skin" and turn any type of criticism into something constructive takes patience.
5. Take small bites of reality.
Perfectionists often overwhelm themselves with the big picture and need to work at doing one thing at a time. This is hard thing to do when seeing the big picture. However, as much as it's great to see the big picture, seeing the steps to get there are just as important. Taking one step at a time is the prerequisite for achieving the big picture. As the saying goes, one must crawl before they can walk. So it is with the perfectionist. One must work on one thing at a time and doing such, will attain the foreseen greater outcome.
Discouragement is real and it happens to everyone. When it comes to the perfectionist, it came be even more damaging than some. So, what to do if you are a perfectionist or in a relationship with a perfectionist? I offer five things to consider. First, help give themselves permission to be imperfect; accepting that they can't change anyone; learning to say "I'm sorry and "will you forgive me?"; accepting criticism properly; and taking small bites of reality goes a long way towards the cure.

Additional Resources
The overall orientation of Sandra Maitri group will be the shifting over time of one's identity and sense of self from the personality or ego to our deeper and ultimate nature — Being; and just as importantly, the integration of this experiential knowledge such that one's everyday life becomes a lived and fulfilling expression of that deeper nature. The confluence in recent decades of the streams of psychological and spiritual wisdom afford a wide range of unprecedented avenues of access to spiritual development. This confluence will be an important part of the orientation of this group.

Did you know?
The Power of Nine is your Key to Happiness and Joy.
There are nine Temperaments. Fifty percent (50%) of your happiness is determined by your Temperament.
Understanding your Temperament Type allows you to work with it and increase your own happiness. The ways individual people inherently view the world/themselves and process information are not the same but do tend to group in different clumps.
Pick the person about that you admire, like and think you are like and click on that number below and listen to the Video.
One way to view this distribution is as nine basic Temperaments Types. They all need different experiences to be really happy.
What do they really want?
Temperament One examples are: Hillary Clinton, Tom Brokaw, Martha Stewart, Al Gore, and Tony Randall. These people want to be good. They have high ideals and value and are attracted to situations where those ideals are met. They want to realize all their potential and help others actualize theirs. They envision making the world a better place to live.
Temperament Two examples are: Bill Cosby, Alan Alda, Nancy Reagan, Dolly Parton, and Pat Boone. These people want to know they are loving. They want to nurture others and foster relationships. They value and are attracted to love. They envision making the world a more loving place to live.
Temperament Three examples are: Oprah Winfrey, Tom Cruise, Tiger Woods, Lance Armstrong, and Bill Clinton. These people are attracted to and value productivity, industry, and competence. They envision making the world more productive, organized, efficient, and smooth running. They see the universe as chaos and want to really make it a cosmos, a harmonious and orderly system.
Would You Like Help to Determine your Temperament?
Temperament Four examples are: Michael Jackson, Johnny Depp, Nicolas Cage, Neil Diamond, and Angelina Jolie. These people want to be unique individuals with lots of originality. They enjoy putting their personal touch on everything in which they are involved. They also value beauty and want to make the world a more beautiful place to live.
Temperament Five examples are: Bill Gates, Albert Einstein, Howard Hughes, George Lucas, and Karl Marx. These people long for wisdom, understanding, knowledge, truth. They want to make the world a more enlightened place by discovering what is real and true and making it more intelligible to others.
Temperament Six examples are: Helen Palmer, Michael Moore, Tom Hanks, Rush Limbaugh, Richard Nixon, and Mel Gibson. These people want to make the world a safer, more secure, more reliable, more trustworthy place to live and they will question anyone’s authority in their effort to do so. They value loyalty in themselves and others and stand by their commitments.
Would You Like Help to Determine your Temperament?
Temperament Seven examples are: Robin Williams, Steve Jobs, Tom Hanks, Anthony Quinn, Richard Branson and Terry Bradshaw. These people want to enjoy life and experience all its possibilities. They value joy and variety. They envision making the world a more delightful place to live.
Temperament Eight examples are: Martin Luther King, Jr., FDR, Sean Connery, Donald Trump, and John Wayne. These people want to live life fully and freely. They are attracted to, appreciate, and effectively use power. They envision using their strength to influence others and bring about a more just world where power and resources are equitably distributed.
Temperament Nine examples are: Barack Obama, Ronald Reagan, Abraham Lincoln, Jimmy Stewart, Carl Jung, and Dwight Eisenhower. These people want to feel at one with others and at home in the universe. They value peace, harmony, and unity. They envision making the world a more harmonious, ecumenical, and comfortable place to live for everyone.

Why do we use numbers?
Names such as: Ones, are the:, Perfectionist, Reformer, Judge, Crusader, Critic are commonly used to decribed the Temperaments Types. We use numbers instead of any names.
We use numbers to designate each of the Temperament Types because numbers are value neutral. They imply the whole range of attitudes and behaviors of each Temperament without specifying anything either positive or negative.
The numerical ranking of the Types is not significant. A larger number is no better than a smaller number.
No Temperament Type is inherently better or worse than any other. While all the Temperament Types have unique assets and liabilities, some Types are often more desirable than others in our society.
You may not be happy with your particular Type. You may feel that your Type is “limited" in some way. As you learn more about all the Types, you will see that just as each has unique capacities, each has different “limits.”
People do not change from one basic Temperament Type to another. Some Types are more valued in our society than others; it is because of the qualities that society rewards, not because of any superior value of those Types.
The descriptions of the Temperament Types apply equally to males and females, since no Type is inherently masculine or feminine. Not everything in the description of your basic Type will apply to you all the time because you fluctuate constantly.
Why aren’t all people with a given Temperament Type successful?
You probably know a bunch of people with the same Temperament Type. Why are some successful and others are not. Why the difference? The difference is Emotional Intelligence. We use Emotional Quotient. (EQ) as a shorthand to describe Emotional Intelligence.
A person may have a high IQ. They did well in school, maybe have a college diploma or even an advanced degree. They may even be in MENSA, the select high-IQ club and still fail in business and relationships. Why are they not successful?
The answer:
Your IQ determines 20 % of your success, which leaves 80% to other forces. This is stated by Daniel Goleman the Author of “Emotional Intelligence.”
A person with a high IQ does not mean they know how to manage their thoughts and feelings any more successfully than a person with a low IQ. Success requires taking the emotional data, making sense of that data, and integrating it into your decision-making. People with higher EQ does this better.
By increasing your EQ you can use your thoughts and emotions of your Temperament Type to make the best possible decisions. Increased EQ help you get optimal results from your relationships with yourself and others.
EQ challenges the conventional belief that emotions are in the way of good decisions. By increasing your EQ it is possible to learn how to use your emotions to make better decisions. By increasing your EQ, it is possible to increase your wisdom and energy required for high performance. The Increasing your EQ is a teachable life skill. If people get better at these life skills, everyone benefits: The brain doesn't distinguish between being a more empathetic manager and a more empathetic father
