Why would I be interested in Temperament Analysis?

The whole concept of temperament analysis rests on discovering who we truly are, the person God created rather than on who we have become. Most of us have a mask on, our personality, according to who we've learned to be, who we feel we are expected to be, and/or who we are forced to be from our family of origin and/or our peers. We can all acknowledge that very often our behavior and our language is a facade or a way of protection. As we grow and live, most of us experience feelings of hurt, disappointment, fear, rejection, loneliness, grief, guilt, and/or shame. These feelings are not pleasant and may cause us to project an image that is not necessarily true to who we really are. We think we need to protect ourselves using  outbursts of anger, verbal abuse, manipulation, control or withdrawal. Usually we don't like ourselves much at these times, causing internal and external conflict. Building these walls in our lives leads to feelings of isolation, loneliness and a lack of true intimacy in all our relationships. This is when we begin seeking understanding, wisdom or insight. Whether you may feel there is nothing wrong or a lot wrong in your life, a temperament analysis can only be beneficial. Only change brings growth, and change cannot occur without a point of truth. Once you learn the truth about yourself, you can validate yourself, and give yourself permission to be who you truly are. There is freedom in discovering this truth. You can finally feel strong and confident enough to take off the mask allowing the internal struggles to diminish with the external ones following closely behind.
