Keirsey Temperament Theory
is a differential psychology theory which resembles
Myers-Briggs Typology
and, to a lesser degree, the
Five-factor model
.
Some people prefer KTT to MBT or socionics because it is simpler to use. However, no publishing socionists rely on Keirsey's work, temperament groups, or descriptions, which seem more distant from socionics than
Myers-Briggs Typology
.

Dichotomies in KTT
KTT uses the same
four-letter code
as MBT, and later,
socionics
, but they don't exactly mean the same thing. Although KTT resembles MBT, they are not the same thing.
E / I = Expressive / Attentive
S / N = Observant, Concrete / Introspective, Abstract
T / F = Tough-minded / Friendly
J / P = Scheduling / Probing
Temperaments in KTT
KTT doesn't distinguish any functions, information elements or any sort of cognitive processes. KTT is more based on what he calls "

Artisan
- Action-seeking

Guardian
- Security-seeking
NF -
Idealist
- Identity-seeking
NT -
Rational
- Knowledge-seeking
