MBTI: Isabel Myers and Katherine Briggs devised the MBTI to classify people into 16 types, which is based on 4 scales: Extraversion (E) vs Introversion (I), Sensing (S) vs iNtuition (N) Thinking (T) vs Feeling (F), Judging (J) vs Perceiving (P) David Keirsey expanded this theory by grouping the 16 types into 4 temperaments to simplify typewatching. Each of these four groups share a common style of 'communication' and 'tool usage' among themselves. COMMUNICATION can be concrete (ie. more literal, for the Sensors SJ & SP) or abstract (ie. more figurative, for the iNtuitors NF & NT). TOOL USAGE is either cooperative (SJ, NF) or utilitarian (SP, NT). DISC: Perhaps the most well-known personality type system for its simplicity (hence many find it easy to remember), this test assigns each person a predominant letter (D, I S or C). D: Dominant, Driving I: Influencing, Inspiring S: Steady, Stable C: Compliant, Correct One may also have a secondary or tertiary letter to form one's more specific profile. For example, pure I: someone who manifests mainly "I" traits and not much of "D", "C" or "S" traits. DI: someone who is predominantly "D" and "I", but is more "D" than "I" SCI: someone who manifests "S", "C" and "I" traits in that order. The official DISC even identifies 3 separate profiles for each person, his/her public self, private self and overall self. NOTE: Please do not mix up the "I" in the DISC with the MBTI's Introversion, nor the "S" here with MBTI's Sensing. 4 TEMPERAMENTS: Originated by Hippocrates who associated predominance of body fluids to human temperament. He called them the Four Humors. Today we know that Hippocrates' initial assumption was wrong. LaHaye adapted Hippocrates' classification of the 'humors' to describe four different base personalities and the 12 possible primary-secondary blends. Even within the same "blend" itself, there are different rough quantifications of each "doze" of temperament. For example, a Sanguine-Choleric varies from a Sanguine-Melancholic, who is in turn different from a Sanguine-Phlegmatic. A Melancholic-Phlegmatic can be very different from a Phlegmatic-Melancholic. The contrast between a Choleric-Melancholic (80-20) and Choleric-Melancholic (55-45) would be very evident in some situations. At first glance, this looks remarkably similar to the DISC, but LaHaye's definition of the Melancholic personality varies subtly from DISC because of a possible assumption he made while 'mapping' the temperaments.
