Brief Description of the Four Temperaments
So, which one are you? If you already know yours, then feel free to share and discuss your results in this thread. If not, then take this mini test taken from Tim LaHaye’s book, “Why You Act The Way You Do” if you want to find out yours. This quiz takes around 20-45 minutes to complete. I will also make a Google Docs for this in the future if you find it difficult to answer here. Answer this quiz ONLY if you currently have a lot of time.
