How about a New Year’s resolution of getting to know yourself better. Take the Meyers-Briggs Type\u00a0Inventory (MBTI)\u00a0and find out your four letter type. Then read about\u00a0that type and learn more about yourself.\u00a0Our personalities can be seen as having two aspects, our temperament and character. Our temperament looks carefully at our\u00a0inclinations such as why are some people inclined to stay at parties until the sun comes up and why others\u00a0run out of gas and want to retreat back to their homes. Some are fueled by the incessant\u00a0social contact, others are\u00a0ready to call it a\u00a0night. Your four-letter temperament\u00a0type can be said to be\u00a0likened to your thumbprint. Each\u00a0of us is a\u00a0unique, unrepeatable act\u00a0of God with the cooperation of our parents.\u00a0In the play\u00a0“Pygmalion” by George Bernard Shaw (turned into a very famous musical entitled “My Fair Lady”), the protagonist strives to create a person just like him. Henry Higgins as he works with Eliza Doolittle in “My Fair Lady” to remake her over in his image finally exclaims in frustration, “Why can’t she just\u00a0be like me!”\u00a0Eliza has her own inclinations on\u00a0how to go about\u00a0doing things. In a family it is important to be aware of our spouse’s and children’s temperaments. If we continually try to make our spouses and children do things based on our own inclinations, this can well\u00a0breed some resentment on their part\u00a0over time. They have their own inclinations on how to get\u00a0things done. Learn to appreciate their approach to things. Seek to understand rather than to be understood.
