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.
This is why, if you:

Sevens Want to Know: Why cannot everyone keep up with me? * Emotional Intelligence Set Of Skills
Emotional Intelligence Offers a Core Set of Skills to Enhance Leadership Competencies ron Stock
Enhancing the Emotional Intelligence (EI) skills of an organization's leaders offers a solid base upon which to build leadership competencies. In today's competitive business environment leadership is more important than ever. And organizations have embraced the approach of identifying and fostering leadership competencies as a means of gaining competitive advantage. Leadership competencies are a way to behaviorally define actions that will produce desired organizational results. These behaviors must be both aligned with and designed to build the organization's culture (Ulrich, Intagliata, and Smallwood, Human Resources Planning, Winter, 2000, Vol. 23.4, pp. 12-23). While leadership in today's business world matters more than ever and more resources are allocated toward seeking ways to develop leadership competencies, the quality of leadership is still a concern.
When identifying leadership competencies, organizations typically identify a number of competencies as sets or clusters of behaviors that are important to effectively leading the business. With any developmental experience, the organization likes to see their leaders improve in as many competencies as possible. In this instance the enhancement of Emotional Intelligence skills provides significant leverage.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Emotional Intelligence has been defined in many ways. Our definition is simple. It is the ability to acquire and apply knowledge from your emotions and the emotions of others in order to make good decisions about what to say or do, or NOT say or do. Although the competencies may vary depending on the EI model, they typically relate closely to many leadership competencies. We use a model with three intrapersonal (those internal to the individual) competencies and two interpersonal (those occurring between individuals) competencies. The competencies include Emotional Self-Awareness, Emotional Self-Regulations, Emotional Self-Motivation, Empathy and Nurture Relationships.
By determining how negative emotions might hamper or interfere with the desired behaviors underlying a leadership competency, we can begin to recognize the critical importance of Emotional Intelligence in supporting and reinforcing desired behavior. For example, typical behaviors comprising the leadership competency of Making Complex Decisions might include using experience, analysis, wisdom and judgment to make good decisions; being sought out by others for solutions and advice; and, over time, making correct and accurate solutions.

While Isabella Rolla plans on taking Business Management 1000 at the University of Pennsylvania 's Wharton School of Business this fall, she has already taken a real-life version of the course.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
It's quite obvious that all the EI competencies play a role in being able to exhibit these behaviors. For example, leaders would have to manage their own negative emotions related to the uncertainty of their decisions (Emotional Self-Regulation which requires Self-Awareness). They would need to take into account the emotional impact of their decisions on others and tailor their explanation of the decision to create a positive tone for cooperation, ensuring maximum support (Self-Motivation, Empathy and Nurture relationships).
From this example, it becomes obvious that not being aware of emotions or not managing them would prevent a leader from behaving as desired. If a leader were not motivated or empathetic or capable of nurturing relationships, his or her performance would also be diminished. The development of most leadership competencies can be supported by enhanced EI skill. Even when we consider technical leadership competencies, not having some level of EI skill can hamper performance.
As participants of EI skill-building programs enhance their EI skills, they also enhance their leadership competencies. As an investment focused on developing leadership competencies, Emotional Intelligence skill-building can provide significant leverage. However, without implementing some method of measurement for a program, it's difficult to determine the benefit. Verifying use of techniques on the job and return on investment will prove value for your organization.

The Red Trangle in the above image points to the ASSERTIVE TEMPERAMENTS which move against their feelings. They are:
Temperament 3 – The members of this Temperament are aggressive against ANY feelings that may interfere with achievement or success. Feelings are put on hold while the task is accomplished. The problem is that they are rarely dealt with because there's always another task and another reason to not deal with them. Feelings simply get in the way and are unimportant to the goal. Image is preferred over feeling (in other words, they knows what feelings should look like and may even portray behavior that mimics appropriate feelings, but may not genuinely experience the feelings themselves). We call members of this Temperament - Achiever – Performers. 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.
Temperament 7 – The members of this Temperament are aggressive against NEGATIVE feelings. There's a constant effort to buoy life to the positive and pleasurable. An attitude of entitlement to the good things in life can sometimes be perceived. Reframing or putting a positive spin on life is a way of keeping any bad feelings from surfacing. Thinking is preferred over feeling. We call members of this Temperament - Visionary – Optimists. Temperament Seven examples are: Robin Williams, Steve Jobs, Tom Hanks, Anthony Quinn, 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 8 – The members of this Temperament are aggressive against exposing SOFT feelings. Feelings leave them with a sense of vulnerability. The soft underbelly is left exposed for people to take advantage of which goes against the desire to be strong. Feelings can aggressively be denied to the point of not even being noticed, in the self as well as in others. Doing is preferred over feeling. We call members of this Temperament - Challenger – Protectors. 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.

Why do we use numbers?
Sevens are the:. Visionary, Epicure, Entertainer, Optimist, Adventurer, Rationalizer, Optionist. We use numbers rather than these 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.
