Parent meeting on the topic “Definition of temperament”

The temperamental characteristics of younger schoolchildren have a significant impact on educational activities.

Temperament is a combination of individual psychological characteristics of a person that characterize the dynamic and emotional-volitional aspects of his behavior and activity. It acts as a kind of connecting link between the body, cognitive processes and personality. Taking into account the individual characteristics of students is necessary in relation to various aspects of their personality, including in relation to the temperamental characteristics of children.
The main personality traits include: temperament and character. Temperament is determined by the type of nervous system and reflects predominantly innate behavioral characteristics. Temperament expresses a person's attitude to the events occurring around him.
Any person must constantly take into account the temperamental characteristics of the people with whom he has to work and communicate. This is necessary for effective interaction with them, reducing the likelihood of conflict situations, and avoiding possible stress. There are no better or worse temperaments. Therefore, efforts when contacting a person should not be aimed at correcting him, but at the competent use of the virtues and advantages of temperament while simultaneously neutralizing negative manifestations.
The earliest classification of temperament types was developed in the 2nd century BC. Roman physician Claudius Galen. In this typology, there are four main types: choleric, sanguine, phlegmatic and melancholic. As a rule, we should talk about the predominance of certain temperament traits, the relationship of temperaments, and their percentage in a person. In their “pure form,” individual types of temperament are rare. However, let us characterize the “pure” types of temperaments.

Choleric.

Characterized by increased excitability, actions are intermittent. He is characterized by sharpness and swiftness of movements, strength, impulsiveness, and vivid expression of emotional experiences. Due to imbalance, carried away by a task, he tends to act with all his might and become more exhausted than he should. Having public interests, his temperament shows initiative, energy, and integrity. In the absence of spiritual life, choleric temperament often manifests itself in irritability, efficiency, lack of restraint, hot temper, and inability to self-control under emotional circumstances.

Sanguine.

Quickly adapts to new conditions, quickly gets along with people, and is sociable. Feelings arise and change easily, emotional experiences are usually shallow. Facial expressions are rich, mobile, expressive. He is somewhat restless, needs new impressions, does not regulate his impulses sufficiently, and does not know how to strictly adhere to the established routine of life or work system. In this regard, he cannot successfully carry out work that requires an equal expenditure of effort, prolonged and methodical tension, perseverance, stability of attention, and patience. In the absence of serious goals, deep thoughts, and creative activity, superficiality and inconstancy develop.

Phlegmatic person.

It is characterized by a relatively low level of behavioral activity, new forms of which are developed slowly, but are persistent. Possesses slowness and calmness in actions, facial expressions and speech, evenness, constancy, depth of feelings and moods. Persistent and stubborn, he rarely loses his temper, is not prone to emotions, calculating his strength, brings things to the end, is even in relationships, moderately sociable, and does not like to chat in vain. Saves energy and doesn’t waste it. Depending on the conditions, in some cases a phlegmatic person may be characterized by “positive” traits - endurance, depth of thoughts, constancy, thoroughness, in others - lethargy, indifference to the environment, laziness and lack of will, poverty and weakness of emotions, a tendency to perform only habitual actions.

Melancholic.

His reaction often does not correspond to the strength of the stimulus; there is depth and stability of feelings with weak expression. It is difficult for him to concentrate on anything for a long time. Strong influences often cause a prolonged inhibitory reaction in melancholic people (“give up”). He is characterized by restraint and muted speech and movements, shyness, timidity, and indecisiveness. Under normal conditions, a melancholic person is a deep, meaningful person who can be a good worker and successfully cope with life’s tasks. Under unfavorable conditions, he can turn into a closed, fearful, anxious, vulnerable person, prone to difficult internal experiences of life circumstances that do not deserve it.

The famous cartoonist H. Bidstrup once depicted the reaction of four people to the same incident: someone accidentally sat on the hat of a man resting on a bench. The result: the choleric person became furious, the sanguine person laughed, the melancholic person became terribly upset, and the phlegmatic person calmly put his hat on his head.

DOUGH PROCESSING

If the “key” answer matches your answer, you add one point to yourself. If it does not match, zero points.

1. Confidence scale.

The answer is “yes” to questions: 6, 24, 36.

The answer is “no” to questions: 12, 18, 30, 42, 48, 54.

Count the amount. If the result is 5 or more points, this means that you answered not as it really is, but as you would like or as is accepted in society. In other words, your answers are not reliable.

2. Extraversion scale.

The answer is "yes" to questions: 1, 3, 8, 10, 13, 17, 22, 25, 27, 37, 39, 44, 46, 49, 53, 56.

The answer is “no” to questions: 5, 15, 20, 29, 32, 34, 41, 51.

Count the amount.

3. Emotional stability scale.

Answer "yes" to questions: 2, 4, 7, 9, 11, 14, 16, 19, 21, 23, 26, 28, 31, 33, 35, 38, 40, 43, 45, 47, 50, 52 , 55, 57.

Having received the sums for the “Extraversion Scale” and “Emotional Stability Scale” values, mark them, respectively, on the horizontal axis “Introversion-extroversion” and the vertical axis “Emotional stability”. The intersection point will show your temperament type.

Draw coordinate axes: the horizontal axis is the “extraversion scale”, the vertical axis is the “emotional stability scale”. Each scale from 1 to 24 intersects at point 12. Mark your indicators on the axes. Find the intersection point. A point can lie on an axis if one of the scales is 12.

The result you got is your predominant temperament type. On the extraversion scale, you can see the type of personality orientation: extrovert or introvert.

Four types of melancholic people
Pure, pronounced melancholic: introversion (int.) - from 1 to 9, emotional. stability (em. mouth) - 16 to 24 points.

Melancholic phlegmatic: int. - from 1 to 9, um. mouth - 12 to 16 points.

Mild melancholic: int. - 9 to 12, um. mouth - 12 to 16 b.

Melacholic choleric: int. - from 9 to 12, um. mouth - 16 to 24 b.

General concepts about temperament

Each person has his own characteristics of mental activity.
Temperament is a characteristic of a person, namely:

pace,

rapidity,

rhythm,

intensity

these mental processes and states.

Temperament determines and ensures the speed, strength and balance of our reactions. It manifests itself in thinking, speech, and manner of communication.
At the same time, temperament does not affect interests, success, intelligence, business qualities - here we are able to independently develop our inclinations, turn them into abilities or forget about them.
The ability to make choices and take responsibility for them are indicators of a developed personality, and not manifestations of temperamental characteristics. Knowing your own type of temperament greatly simplifies the process of knowing yourself, accepting your manifestations and, as a result, choosing your own lifestyle.

Temperament human - a biological quality, innate, not acquired. Only 25% of 100% of temperament can be corrected. And this correction is our adjustment to the requirements of society (the world around us, society...). For what? For the purpose of a more efficient and successful existence.
Temperaments in their pure form are rare. Every person has something of choleric, sanguine, phlegmatic and melancholic. The question of who is better to be does not make sense, just like the question of what time of year is better. Each has its pros and cons. You need to know them and act, choosing an effective model of behavior depending on the situation. That is, do not follow the lead of natural qualities, but develop them.

Features of temperament must be taken into account when choosing a profession, but temperament should not be confused with character.

Kindness and cruelty

hard work and laziness,

neatness and sloppiness -

All these are character traits that are not inherent in nature, but are formed throughout life.

Smart or stupid

honest or deceitful

talented or untalented

Can be a person with any temperament. A person’s success does not depend on his temperament, but on the abilities, knowledge, skills and orientation of the individual.

Basic components of temperament

Analysis of the internal structure of temperament leads to the identification of three main, leading components. Each of these components has a complex multidimensional structure and different forms of psychological manifestations.

The sphere of general mental activity of a person.

the individual’s desire for self-expression, effective mastery and transformation of external reality;
intellectual and characterological characteristics, a complex of relationships and motives

The degree of activity extends from lethargy, inertia and passive contemplation at one pole to the highest degree of energy, powerful swiftness of action and constant ascent at the other.

Motor skills.

rapidity,
force,
sharpness,
rhythm,
amplitude and
a number of other signs of muscle movement.

Features of muscle and speech motor skills can be observed more easily than others in humans. Therefore, a person’s temperament is often judged only by this component.

Emotionality.

Impressionability- a person’s susceptibility, his sensitivity to emotional influences, his ability to find the basis for an emotional reaction where such soil does not exist for others.
Impulsiveness- the speed with which emotion becomes the motivating force of actions and actions without prior thought and a conscious decision to carry them out.
Emotional lability- the speed with which a given emotional state ceases or one experience changes to another.

From the history of teachings about types of temperament

Hippocrates (5th century BC) first spoke about temperaments. He argued that people differ in the ratio of the 4 main “juices” of life that make up it:

blood,

phlegm,

yellow bile and

black bile

Claudius Galen (2nd century BC) continued. He developed the first typology of temperaments (treatise “De temperamentum”) According to his teaching, the type of temperament depends on the predominance of one of the juices in the body. They identified temperaments that are widely known today:

choleric (from the Greek chole - “bile”),

sanguine (from Latin sanguis - “blood”),

phlegmatic (from Greek - phlegma - “phlegm”),

melancholic (from the Greek melas chole - “black bile”)

I.P. Pavlov hypothesized that differences in behavior were based on some fundamental properties of nervous processes - excitation and inhibition. These properties include:

excitation strength

reflects the performance of the nerve cell. It manifests itself in functional endurance, i.e. in the ability to withstand long-term or short-term, but strong excitation, without passing into the opposite state of inhibition

braking force

is understood as the functional performance of the nervous system during the implementation of inhibition. Manifests itself in the ability to form various inhibitory conditioned reactions, such as extinction and differentiation

their poise

balance of excitation and inhibition processes. The ratio of the strength of both processes decides whether a given individual is balanced or unbalanced, when the strength of one process exceeds the strength of the other

their mobility/inertia

manifests itself in the speed of transition from one nervous process to another. The mobility of nervous processes is manifested in the ability to change behavior in accordance with changing living conditions. A measure of this property of the nervous system is the speed of transition from one action to another, from a passive state to an active one, and vice versa. The nervous system is more inert the more time or effort it takes to move from one process to another.

I.P. Pavlov distinguished between the strength of excitation and the strength of inhibition, considering them two independent properties of the nervous system.
The 4 types of nervous system identified by I.P. Pavlov correspond according to their main characteristics to the 4 classical types of temperament:

a strong, unbalanced type with a predominance of excitement - choleric;

strong, balanced, agile - sanguine;

strong, balanced, inert - phlegmatic;

weak type - melancholic

Description of temperament types.
Types of temperament according to I.P. Pavlov

I.P. Pavlov understood the type of nervous system as innate, relatively weakly susceptible to changes under the influence of environment and upbringing. According to Ivan Petrovich, the properties of the nervous system form the physiological basis of temperament, which is a mental manifestation of the type of nervous system.
Two things to note:

Weakness of the nervous system is not a negative property.

A strong nervous system copes more successfully with some life tasks (for example, in work associated with large and unexpected loads).
A weak nervous system copes more successfully with others (for example, in monotonous work conditions). A weak nervous system is a highly sensitive nervous system, and this is its advantage over a strong one.

The division of people into four types of temperament is very arbitrary. There are transitional, mixed, intermediate types. Pure temperaments are relatively rare.

Hans Eysenck studied the works of C. Jung, R. Woodworth, I.P. Pavlov, E. Kretschmer and other famous psychologists, psychiatrists and physiologists. He proposed three basic dimensions of personality:

neuroticism

extra/introversion

Extrovert- a person who is outward-looking, sociable, optimistic, with a wide circle of acquaintances, impulsive, acting under the influence of the moment. He needs contacts like air. He prefers to act, move forward, rather than reason.

Introvert- a person turned inward prefers to communicate only with close people, and distances himself from others. He is reserved, not sociable, shy, reserved, keeps his feelings under control, and is prone to introspection. An introvert likes to think about his actions.

Extroverts are much more tolerant of pain than introverts; they pause more during work to chat and drink coffee than introverts; excitement increases the effectiveness of their actions and actions, while for introverts it only interferes.

Introverts prefer theoretical and scientific jobs (eg, engineering and chemistry), while extroverts tend to prefer jobs that involve people (eg, sales, social services).

Introverts are more likely to admit to masturbating than extroverts; But extroverts have sexual intercourse at an earlier age, more often and with a larger number of partners than introverts.

Introverts achieve greater academic success than extroverts. Also, students who leave college for psychiatric reasons are more likely to be introverts; while those students who leave for academic reasons are more likely to be extroverts.

Introverts feel more alert in the mornings, while extroverts feel more alert in the evenings. Moreover, introverts work better in the morning, while extroverts work better in the afternoon. In crisis situations, extroverts prefer to seek help and support from people, in communication with relatives and friends, in companies. Introverts crawl into their closet and hide from people.

psychoticism

The result of a combination of high and low levels of introversion and extraversion with high or low levels of stability and neuroticism became the four categories of people described by Eysenck. A high level of neuroticism (emotional instability/instability) is characteristic of melancholic and choleric people. Low level - for sanguine and phlegmatic people. But introversion is characteristic of melancholic and phlegmatic people, while extroversion is characteristic of choleric and sanguine people.

Description of temperament types.
Types of temperament according to G. Eysenck

Characteristics of temperament types according to G. Eysenck

G. Eysenck gave characteristics of “pure” types of temperament (that is, in the extreme angular positions of the quadrant). And we already realized that such types are extremely rare. Make adjustments accordingly when you receive test results. Moreover, the closer one type of temperament is to another, the more characteristics overlap.
For example, if you got the result: neuroticism 13, extraversion 17, then you are a sanguine choleric. Then you have the characteristics of both choleric and sanguine people, but not as pronounced as pure Cholerics and Sanguines. In different conditions, in different situations, you can exhibit both characteristics.
Remember that the literature often provides characteristics of “pure” types of temperaments.

Pure types of temperament

Phlegmatic person

Unhurried, unperturbed, has stable aspirations and mood, outwardly stingy in the manifestation of emotions and feelings. Has logical judgments. He has a strong, balanced, efficient nervous system, a persistent, persistent worker, he gets things done to the end. Most often he is calm, restrained and constant in his feelings, his mood is even, he rarely loses his temper.
Capable of deep, stable and permanent feelings. Phlegmatic is peaceful, attentive, caring. Moderately talkative, does not like to chat about trifles. Saves energy and does not waste it. Facial expressions, speech, gestures and actions are slow and calm, restrained, emotionally inexpressive. He is thorough, reliable, and distinguished by the depth and constancy of his thoughts.
But a phlegmatic person has difficulty switching from one job to another, “swings” for a long time, does not adapt well to a new environment, is passive (low level of activity), has difficulty developing new habits and behavior patterns, but at the same time they become persistent. He is characterized by lethargy, laziness, indifference to others, and lack of will. Tends to do familiar work in familiar, familiar surroundings.

Choleric

Fast, passionate, impetuous, open, with quick mood changes. Choleric is active, mobile, optimistic, impulsive, but at the same time easily excitable and restless. A choleric person also has a strong nervous system, but he is unbalanced, quick-tempered, irritable, impatient, touchy, and vulnerable.
He may have emotional breakdowns. Due to conflict, he does not get along well with other people. A choleric person easily switches from one task/topic of conversation to another task/topic; he is characterized by sudden mood swings. He is highly excitable, has pronounced emotional experiences, and is unable to control his emotions.
The movements and speech of a choleric person are fast, intermittent, abrupt, impetuous, and impulsive. Prone to exhaustion, because when he is passionate about a task, he acts with all his might. In the interests of society, he is proactive, principled, active, and energetic.
In the absence of spiritual and personal growth, he is affective, irritable, hot-tempered, aggressive, unrestrained, and conflictual.

Sanguine

A lively, hot-tempered, active person, with frequent changes of mood and impressions, with a quick reaction to all the events happening around him, quite easily coming to terms with his failures and troubles. Sanguine is cheerful, friendly, talkative, flexible, and responsive.
He has a strong, balanced nervous system, high performance, while he is active and mobile, easily experiencing failures. He communicates easily with people, quickly gets along with people, switches easily, easily and quickly reacts to what is happening around him. At the same time, he strives for novelty, a change of impressions, is restless, and does not sufficiently regulate his impulses. He has rich, agile facial expressions, fast, expressive speech.
A sanguine person cannot do things that require concentration, attention, perseverance, or patience. He has a rapid change of feelings, but the feelings are shallow, he is prone to inconstancy and superficiality.

Melancholic

A person is easily vulnerable, prone to constantly experiencing various events, he reacts sharply to external factors. A melancholic person is highly impressionable, easily emotionally vulnerable, touchy, but at the same time sensitive and empathetic, easily gets along with different people, and is non-conflict.
He has a weak nervous system, increased fatigue, low mental activity, and slowness. He is highly emotional, but tends to experience problems within himself, which leads to self-destruction. His feelings are deep, constant, stable, but at the same time poorly expressed. He has difficulty concentrating on anything for long periods of time.
A melancholic person experiences failures hard and acutely (they often give up), he is timid, shy, anxious, indecisive, unstable to stress, his speech is quiet, slow.

Volikov's character test is a scientifically based, patented program, as evidenced by a patent issued by the Federal Service for Intellectual Property and is protected by copyright. You can take this test only on our resource and completely for free.

PATENTED VOLIKOV CHARACTER TEST

Preamble

This test shows a person’s character inherent at birth, his main features. It does not take into account external factors that influence the development of personality in the process of growing up.

Taking the Volikov character test will help you understand what is specific to you, what is stopping you, what you need to try to change, and what qualities to develop in yourself in order to achieve success in life. Character test you can only go through our resource and completely for free.

It is extremely important to indicate the exact (+ - 20 min) time and place of birth. This significantly increases the accuracy of the online character test result. If only the date of birth is known, the program will consider the time of birth to be noon, i.e. 12 noon local time. The accuracy of the Volikov test result will depend on how much the real time of birth differs from the conventional one (from 12 hours). The closer a person's actual birth time is to noon, the more accurate the character test result will be.

The traits that make up a person’s character are represented on a scale from -5 to +5, where the value “0” is either the norm for the character trait or the average value for most people. Values from - 1 to -5 are colored red on the diagram, values from 1 to 5 are colored green on the diagram. Coloring a chart red is not always a “negative” indicator of character, just as coloring a chart green is not always a “positive” indicator of character. This just shows the amount of deviation of the indicator in one direction or another from “0”, that is, the average value of this indicator for most people.

Trait charts show the potential inherent at birth. And they do not take into account genetic factors, upbringing, education, living conditions, environmental influences, etc., which, of course, influence the formation and manifestations of the personality of any person. This must be taken into account when analyzing and evaluating the results that Volikov’s character test gives.

It is worth paying special attention in cases where the result for some characteristics is close to the extreme values of -4; -5 or 4; 5. In this case, there is a possibility of clinical (medical) manifestations of this character quality.

For example: a score of 4 or 5 for the “courage” parameter may manifest itself in some people not only as reckless courage, but also as aggressiveness or sadism. Or, for example, a score of 4; 5 for the “will” parameter can manifest itself in some people not only as “unshakable will”, but also as tyranny, despotism, and the need for dominance.

Analyze the results of the Volikov character test together, taking into account the relationships between different character traits; the same traits will manifest themselves in completely different ways, for example, with different intellectual abilities or courage. For example, willpower at +5 intelligence efficiency will be used more creatively, and at -5, more destructively.

It must be understood that all character indicators do not indicate all possible manifestations, but only the main ones; accordingly, these meanings can be expanded and developed with various synonyms, for example: for pride, synonyms are arrogance, arrogance, arrogance, or for hostility, synonyms are malice, callousness; synonymous with tact can be diplomacy, politeness, correctness; Synonyms for excessive emotionality can be touchiness, sentimentality, and vulnerability.

Be sure to accurately indicate the time (and not just the date) of birth, if you know it with an accuracy of at least 20 minutes or 2 hours, and also select your place of birth from the list of cities - this greatly increases the accuracy of the forecast.

The Volikov character test is a very complex organism, which consists of hundreds of numerical matrices that analyze very contradictory factors that influence us. Therefore, it is impossible to get a perfectly accurate result for all 21 character traits. According to our observations, as a rule, out of 21 character factors, 18-19 quite accurately reflect the character of a person (given the known time and place of birth). The remaining 2-3 factors of a person’s character may differ by several points.

Temperament- This is an innate, cumulative system of human psychological characteristics. Psychologists distinguish 4 types of temperament: Melancholic, Sanguine, Choleric and Phlegmatic. In its “pure form,” none of the temperaments is found; as a rule, in addition to the predominant, so-called basic temperament, a person combines the traits of two or even three more types of temperament. Throughout life, under the influence of external factors, some traits of temperament may be smoothed out or, on the contrary, become more pronounced, but in general, the predominant type of temperament is laid down at birth.
