Temperament
Personality testing often falls short for many people as it assigns them to a single category that may not fully capture their complexity. We hold the view that personality is shaped by upbringing, environment, and life experiences, influencing our self-perception, decision-making, relationships, career choices, and parenting styles.

OUR conflictS
Each individual possesses unique temperament needs.
When we endeavor to satisfy these needs without considering our relationship with God, conflicts inevitably arise.
These conflicts arise due to:
Striving to fulfill our needs without aligning with God's intended path for our lives. Focusing excessively on meeting certain needs while neglecting others, resulting in unmet requirements.
Responding negatively, such as with anger or frustration, when our temperament needs remain unfulfilled.
Strengths and Weaknesses
In every temperament, there are inherent strengths and weaknesses. Your temperament profile will outline these qualities, typically observed in individuals sharing your temperament.
However, it's essential to note that these characteristics may not necessarily reflect your own unique life experiences.
Instead, they offer insights into potential areas of strength to cultivate and weaknesses to be mindful of in your personal development journey.
You will learn:
-
Although both terms are similar and often used interchangeably, they are distinct from each other. Your temperament isn't the same as your personality.
- The internet is rife with dozens of self-assessment tools to help you determine your temperament. It's essential to be careful when using these tools, however. Many of them may not produce accurate results, and people often need to be self-aware enough to answer the questions in these self-assessment tests honestly. Factors such as your emotional state or mood can skew your answers, altering your results.
-
Certain temperaments are more at risk of developing harmful habits that need to be managed.
-
Your temperament determines how you move through life and engage with people and situations. Learning more about your temperament style increases your self-awareness and gives some insight into why you make specific decisions or exhibit particular behaviors.
Three Areas of Temperament
The three areas of temperament are as follows:
Inclusion–
The need to establish and maintain a satisfactory relationship with people in the area of surface relationships, associations and socialization (parties, social gatherings, and people who come in and out of our lives every day).
How many people do I approach for socializing?
How many people do I want to approach me for socializing?
Control–
The need to establish and maintain a satisfactory relationship with people in respect to issues of control and power.
How many people do I want to control?
How many people will I allow to control me?
Affection–
The need to establish and maintain a satisfactory relationship with others in regard to love and affection (deep one-on-one relationships such as spouses, girlfriends or boyfriends, parents, children, and trusted friends).
How much love and affection do I express to others?
How much love and affection do I want expressed to me?

- Upon providing your email information, you will receive an 18-questionnaire directly to your inbox or mobile device. We've found this method most effective for ensuring prompt completion.
- Currently, the 18 Question APS Response Form is only available in electronic format. In previous discussions with the APS Committee, we believe it is their intention for the 18 Question APS Response Form to remain exclusively in electronic format in part, as an effort to protect the integrity of the content of the document and ensuring that only APS Certified Counselors have access to administer it.
- After completing the questionnaire, please anticipate receiving responses via email within 24-48 hours. Thank you for your participation.

WHAT'S INSIDE...
The Temperament Profile System (A.P.S.) is a tool utilized by Christian counselors to assess an individual's natural inclinations, strengths, and weaknesses based on temperament. This system involves a questionnaire comprising 18 questions, taking less than ten minutes to complete. Once the questionnaire is administered, the counselor sends the responses to the A.P.S. office for computer analysis, resulting in a detailed 7 to 8-page report.
The A.P.S. report provides counselors with valuable insights into the individual's temperament, enabling them to offer tailored counseling effectively. It identifies three key areas of human interaction: Inclusion (social orientation/intellectual energies), Control (decision-making abilities), and Affection (deep relationships), along with two aspects of each interaction: expressed (stated preferences) and wanted (true desires).
Traditionally, temperaments were categorized as Melancholy, Sanguine, Choleric, and Phlegmatic. However, research conducted by Drs. Richard and Phyllis in 1981 identified a fifth temperament known as the Supine. The Supine temperament exhibits traits similar to Sanguine and Melancholy but possesses unique characteristics, such as a servant-hearted nature and a tendency to feel undervalued.
Unlike personality tests, which measure behavior subject to change, the A.P.S. focuses on identifying an individual's inborn temperament, reflecting their "inmost being" as described in Psalm 139. By understanding their God-given temperament and embracing their identity in Christ, individuals can overcome weaknesses associated with their temperament and cultivate their strengths.
Christian counselors, equipped with the A.P.S. report and biblical wisdom, guide clients in addressing root issues and aligning their lives with God's design. Through this process, clients gain appreciation for their strengths, deepen their understanding of God's love, and learn to meet their unique needs in accordance with their temperament, leading to personal growth and spiritual maturity.
Temperament can best be defined as Spiritual genetics or God's imprint upon each one of us.

- Temperament And Personality: Temperament and personality, while often confused, are actually separate concepts. While personality encompasses a wide range of behaviors, traits, and emotions that influence how you behave, temperament refers specifically to your natural inclinations and predispositions.
- In essence, personality can be seen as the overarching umbrella term, encompassing various aspects including temperament.
- Temperament, in simple terms, is the inborn (not genetic, i.e. brown hair, blue eyes, etc.) part of man that determines how he reacts to people, places, and things. In short, it is how people interact with their environments and the world around them. Temperament pinpoints our perception of ourselves and the people who love us. It is also the determining factor in how well we handle the stresses and pressures of life.
- SPIRITUAL GENETICS: Temperament can best be defined as Spiritual genetics or God's imprint upon each one of us. Three are involved in the conception of a child, the mother, the father, and the Creator.
