I am back to continue the entry which I completed half way two days ago. I did mentioned about the 4 temperament blends we have in ourselves. From the knowledge given by my lecturer, it is being explained that temperament refers to something we had have in us when we were borned into the world. haha. It is a combination of parents’ genes and chromosomes and a combination of traits inherited from parents. Interesting isn't it? It does sounds strange but its somehow true. haha. It is also clearly understood that each and everyone of us will eventually falls into one of the 4 category and perhaps even more than one but there will definitely be one major out of the categories you are in. haha. I shall now tell you guys in details about them and hope you guys can identify your own temperament. =)
