Compiled and edited by Minh Tan,digitalcitizen.ca2This document contains detailed information about theRationals, 1 of 4 Keirsey Temperaments. Itreferences content already mentioned in the document calledUnderstanding Your PersonalityAssessment Results, which can be found on theDigital Citizenwebsite. If you are reading thisand do not understand some of the concepts or terminology, please refer to said document.This Temperament analysis comes with the following sections:•Summary portrait•Famous figures of this Temperament, some of their profile links and quotes•Work related info like job fitting, dealing with stresses and bosses,etc.•Romantic tendencies for men and women of the TemperamentWords of Caution in Interpreting This MaterialThe biggest mistake I often see with the presentation of personality assessment results is thatthey are spoken of in absolute terms, when they should be discussed as majority tendencies.You got a percentage score with each of your Jung type preferences (letter) if you took the testI supplied. That score is an indication of how strong you have those tendencies. A 75% scoreon Thinking, for example, means you rely on Thinking about 75% of the time to make decisionsrather than Feelings. But it also means you use or value Feelings 25% of the time, rather thanthat you are a Thinking decision-maker all of the time. You have to keep these percentagesin mind when interpreting this content as it may apply to you or someone else.DoNOTcompare your percentage scores with someone else’s as if they were absolute. Thatis, if you had a 75% Thinking score, that does not mean you are more logical than someonewith a 65% Thinking score. The best way I can think to illustrate this is with an analogy. Yourpercentage is like how you break upyour“pie”, where the whole is both Preferences (Thinkingand Feeling here). Someone could have a 55% Thinking score & be more logical in their decision-making than you. That’s becausetheir“pie” might be bigger than yours. They may put moreof, both, Thinking and Feeling, into their decision-making, or may be capable of more complexlogical decision-making than you. They just don’t rely on Thinking 75% of the time like you.
