Keirsey Temperament Paper 1. After taking the temperament test, I got the result of being a Guardian. Guardians are the most common profile because it accounts for 45% of the population. Guardians are the ones who preserve the social institutions and ensure everything runs smoothly as the way they are currently. In other words, guardians prefer to preserve status quo and they would avoid unnecessary changes. It is also mentioned that guardians honor customs and traditions greatly, which also enhances the status quo argument. Guardians are generally serious and adamant about their work and responsibility; they have a strong sense of right and wrong. Besides that, guardians are practical, realistic, and down-to-earth. Guardians do things based on facts rather than intuition or emotion. They follow existing rules and are not comfortable blazing new trail or new way of doing something. Guardians are meticulous about procedures and they are cautious of changes because they feel awkward dealing with a new situation. 2. I am considered to be a guardian in the Keirsey Temperament Test. Based on my Keirsey type, if there is a change in the company, I will be likely to object it. For example, if the company is trying to introduce a modern technology, I will tend to avoid using the new technology. As a guardian, if a job is being delegated to me, I will be very dedicated in the job which makes me a reliable person to be delegated work. When working on a project, I appreciate teamwork and I like to develop a good rapport between team members. I also possess an excessive sense of right and wrong, so I am always cautious of not doing the wrong thing. I believe that someone who has done good deed should be rewarded while those who made mistake should be punished. Also as a guardian, during work, I like to execute a task by using the common/old way. I prefer status quo and the things they are currently; I hate dealing with changes or coming up with a new trail to perform a task.
