Step 7 Temperament Inventory

Here are some questions about the way you think, feel and behave in different situations. Next to each question is a space for answering 'yes' or 'no' or '?', meaning 'i don't know, only sometimes'. Decide in what way you usually act or feel when you are alone, in the presence of your partner or immediate family. Try and answer in the way you would have reacted in your early twenties. This will give you a better indication of your natural temperament. Work quickly and do no spend time on any one question. Your first reaction is usually more accurate than a long, drawn out thought process. Try and answer 'yes or no' as much as possible. Mark '?' only when you are really not sure or when the truth is really in between. Make sure that you answer every question and remember, there are no right and wrong answers. This is not a test of your ability or maturity, but simply a pointer to the way you think, feel and act. Please continue to the next page to start the questions.
