These temperaments differ somewhat from the Communication Styles used in most Personal Selling textbooks (Amiable, Expressive, Analytical, and Driver). However, the Keirsey Temperament Sorter allows students to determine their own temperaments through a short forced-choice questionnaire. NOTE: Initially, the site provided information about each type, including well known people for each Temperament and Character, as well as profiles of each for free. However, over the past year, the author has started charging for the complete report and only a simple one is now provided. http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=90414 This is a commercial site that offers classes for continuing education.
