Temperament

Imagine two sets of exact opposite people going shopping together. For example, an ENFP and ISTJ goes shopping with an ESFP and an INTJ. Does it seem chaotic? Good, because it is.

Gender and sex are not synonymous. We’re taught to believe that being born male makes you a man and being born female makes you a woman, but this is simply not the case. There are many parallels in Margaret Mead’s article “Sex and Temperament in Three Primitive Societies” with what we learned in class this term about gender roles and how they are learned and not “natural”.

things when it comes to temperament. I learned that you are born with a set of temperaments. You can’t get rid of it but you can manage them. (Kurcinka, 2006, p.37) A spirited temperament is not a disorder.
