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:

The Orange Trangle in the above image points to the RESPONDIVE TEMPERAMENTS which move toward thinking. They are:
Temperament 1 – The members of this Temperament are moving toward right thinking. Correct behavior is a result of knowing what is right and what is wrong. This knowing is obvious to the member, yet not obvious to others. From the member's perspective it's not the member who is determining what is right, it's simply an absolute unquestioned obvious about what is right. Doing is preferred to thinking. We call members of this Temperament - Reformer – Perfectionists. 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 2 – The members of this Temperament are moving toward the thinking of others. Anticipating the needs of others can arise from knowing what others are thinking. There's a habit of assuming the image or emotions that will please others. To this member, this doesn't seem like manipulation, it's simply finding the right approach to make that emotional connection that seems so vital. Feeling is preferred to thinking. We call members of this Temperament - Giver – Helpers. 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 6 – The members of this Temperament are moving toward the thinking of an authority. This member questions their own thinking and the thinking of others. The quest is for a trusting source of reason and rules. If the member can find a reliable and trusted source of thinking then the questioning, doubt, and resulting anxiety may fade. Trusting is preferred to thinking (to say it another way, the preference is to trust the thinking of an authority, but the difficulty lies in finding a trustworthy authority). We call members of this Temperament - Loyal – Skeptics.
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.

Twos, will: Do that for you * Emotional Intelligence Of Giving
Emotional Intelligence of Giving William R. Murray

Give to your favorite non-profit. Can you serve food at a homeless shelter? Or serve on their Board of Directors? Or give money? One novel idea for giving money is to give a non-profit's Executive Director a scholarship to attend my Virtual-Workshop, Emotional Intelligence for Resilient Leaders and Professionals. They need this. You know they need it. Just look at their leadership challenges and scarcity of resources. They don't get much leadership development training because it is not much in their budget nor do foundations give for that.
So you could provide the necessary scholarship to allow an Executive Director to attend my leadership training via weekly telephone conference calls and an extensive Participant Workbook. This is powerful learning that sticks because it is spread out giving them time to practice in between sessions. I have been training leaders for over 30 years. I am well qualified with a Harvard MBA, Yale, M.Div., leadership experience in both corporate and non-profit environments, and much experience as a training facilitator.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Now how about ways to be giving right in your own job? If you are a leader, your emotional intelligence resonates for better or worse throughout your group. How can you make your emotional intelligence shine as a beacon of hope and inspiration? This may take some work. Consider getting help from an Executive Coach like me.
In many interactions, you can concentrate on being really present for the other person, in a caring way. They will experience this as a moment when they felt validated, affirmed. This is a way of giving that we have many opportunities for. The trick is to take the time to be centered and see this as a special opportunity. We have to release the sense of hurry and our fear of "losing" too much time. Do you want to do this more often? Do you have the skill? The emotional intelligence? If not, you can learn it.
Keep on a giving,
Bill Murray, President

Why do we use numbers?
Names such as: Twos, Giver, Caretaker, Helper, Nurturer, or Advisor, 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.
