Feelers will consider how every member of the family will feel in the home as well as their extended family and visitors.  They consider the neighbors and how it makes them feel.
  
Thinkers tend to evaluate the home and neighborhood in practical aspects....does it need repairs?  How much?  Will it hold its value? etc.

Do you take time to make decisions and like to keep your options open or do you tend to make snap judgments and act fast on most occasions?  

Judgment or Perception

How do you act on the data you have taken in?

 Buyers who make decisions on the facts usually make more rapid decisions.  They have made their decisions  on the data they have taken in. They are the judgers. 

Those who just can't make up their minds.....and like to keep their options  open for a longer time base their decision more on their perceptions.   They can make good decisions, they  just tend to consider more options and it usually takes a longer time period.

This is just one SYSTEM FOR UNDERSTANDING OURSELVES AND OTHERS

A system for understanding people and their motivations is not new and has made its way through history in various ways.

Divisions of four seem to be very common in nature as many people throughout the ages have attempted to classify our personalities into four separate personality types.

There are four directions on a compass.   There are four seasons in a year.  There are four elements on this abode: air, earth, water & fire;  four basic colors;  Air = yellow; earth = green; water = blue; and fire = red.

Hippocrates named the four divisions as:  sanguine, melancholic, plalegmatic and choleric.  Carl Jung named them: theoretical, religious, economic and aesthetic.  Carl Luscher did it with colors.                

Some of the other four divisions have been named:

Intuitor, Feeler, Thinker  & Sensor or Instinctive, Emotional, Intellectual & Moving or Gamesman, Company Men, Craftsman or Jungle Fighter.

Dr. David Keirsey in his book, "Please Understand Me II, has labeled these characteristics  into eight categories:   Sensation, Intuition, Thinking, Feeling, Judgment, Perception, Introversion and Extroversion.

Whatever they are called there seems to be consistency in the division of four basic character temperaments with some variations in each of these character traits.

By understanding that we are all different in the ways we take in the information around us, and different in the ways we process this information, and in the ways we act on this information, we begin to understand how each of us are important to the team of life.   We each contribute in our own way to the whole.  And that is okay!  Each one should be valued.

We need to value our contributions and then we can appreciate the value that other's contribute.  By understanding ourselves, we can begin to understand those around us in our families, our co-workers, our bosses and our children.  

Just as in the rainbow, different colors relate to your personality.  All personalities can work, play or live together harmoniously when you understand the differences.  You can get an insight to your personality by choosing the colors you like the best.
