It was first introduced in the book <i>Please Understand Me<\/i>. It is one of the most widely used personality assessments in the world, and its user base consists of major employers including Bank of America, Allstate, the U.S. Air Force, IBM, 7-Eleven, Safeco, AT&amp;T, and Coca-Cola. The KTS is closely associated with the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI); however, there are significant practical and theoretical differences between the two personality questionnaires and their associated different descriptions.<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n<div>\n<h2>Informational Insights<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<blockquote><p>David Keirsey expanded on the ancient study of temperament by Hippocrates and Plato. In his works, Keirsey used the names suggested by Plato: Artisan (iconic), Guardian (pistic), Idealist (noetic), and Rational (dianoetic). Keirsey divided the four temperaments into two categories (roles), each with two types (role variants). The resulting 16 types correlate with the 16 personality types described by Briggs and Myers.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><b>Artisans<\/b> are concrete and adaptable. Seeking stimulation and virtuosity, they are concerned with making an impact. Their greatest strength is <i>tactics<\/i>. They excel at troubleshooting, agility, and the manipulation of tools, instruments, and equipment.<sup id=\"cite_ref-patterns_2-0\" class=\"reference\">[2]<\/sup> The two roles are as follows:\n<ul>\n<li><b>Operators<\/b> are the directive (proactive) Artisans. Their most developed intelligence operation is <i>expediting<\/i>. The attentive Crafters and the expressive Promoters are the two role variants.<\/li>\n<li><b>Entertainers<\/b> are the informative (reactive) Artisans. Their most developed intelligence operation is <i>improvising<\/i>. The attentive Composers and the expressive Performers are the two role variants.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li><b>Guardians<\/b> are concrete and organized (scheduled). Seeking security and belonging, they are concerned with responsibility and duty. Their greatest strength is <i>logistics<\/i>. They excel at organizing, facilitating, checking, and supporting. The two roles are as follows:\n<ul>\n<li><b>Administrators<\/b> are the directive (proactive) Guardians. Their most developed intelligence operation is <i>regulating<\/i>. The attentive Inspectors and the expressive Supervisors are the two role variants.<\/li>\n<li><b>Conservators<\/b> are the informative (reactive) Guardians. Their most developed intelligence operation is <i>supporting<\/i>. The attentive Protectors and the expressive Providers are the two role variants.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li><b>Idealists<\/b> are abstract and compassionate. Seeking meaning and significance, they are concerned with personal growth and finding their own unique identity. Their greatest strength is <i>diplomacy<\/i>. They excel at clarifying, individualizing, unifying, and inspiring. The two roles are as follows:\n<ul>\n<li><b>Mentors<\/b> are the directive (proactive) Idealists. Their most developed intelligence operation is <i>developing<\/i>. The attentive Counselors and the expressive Teachers are the two role variants.<\/li>\n<li><b>Advocates<\/b> are the informative (reactive) Idealists.

Seeking mastery and self-control, they are concerned with their own knowledge and competence. Their greatest strength is <i>strategy<\/i>. They excel in any kind of logical investigation such as engineering, conceptualizing, theorizing, and coordinating. The two roles are as follows:\n<ul>\n<li><b>Coordinators<\/b> are the directive (proactive) Rationals. Their most developed intelligence operation is <i>arranging<\/i>.
