This article will involve self-reflection and, for some, a self-revelation. Getting to know this “vehicle” (body, material part) and soul (immaterial part) you are driving through life is very important. So let’s ask, “What’s unseen about you that makes you the individual, the unique person, you are?” You are a human who is different from all other humans. (Your fingerprint is one example of that in your material part). So am I. We are each unique in our “immaterial part,” as well. Some forces inside of you are shaping you. Those forces are your special design, the truth about you that you can confirm is you, or not. No fooling you here. So, let’s find out how we discover and identify that immaterial part of our special design.
A Temperament Key Reveals Your Special Design
It may surprise you that if you complete a Temperament Key, that simple exercise will unlock the door to your design. (By the way, it’s free. And unless you ask for more explanation, the matter will end. You will receive a short series of emails with further information to help you begin to understand the results. You can, however, unsubscribe at any time. The matter remains in your hands.)
The results will be a formula in shorthand that will tell you a lot about how your nonphysical makeup — THE REAL YOU, the you that you can only identify by observing how you act, think, and feel. Yes, you! Only you can identify the real you — not anyone else. You will discover what has been and still is shaping you and your life that makes you so wonderfully unique.
Don’t shy off this brief exercise in self understanding I’m going to suggest, because it is going to help you discover the real core of who you are. It will tell you who you are at the deepest levels of your being — not where your weaknesses reside, but where your strengths live, because your strengths are what make you who you are, not your weaknesses. For all of us, our weaknesses are what we have failed to be.
Each One of Us Is a Unique Person
Your uniqueness turns out to be the way you are designed in the non-material part of you. To risk redundancy, we are each a non-repeatable design, unique, one of a kind. We still bare similarities to others as well as dissimilarities, as we are probably aware. A Temperament Key, believe it or not, can help us see all the way to your uniqueness and similarities without generalizing you as simply another “human”, a “male” or “female”, “large” or “small”. It shows you, YOU. And it does so because you instruct it too.
What Drives You Shapes Your Special Design
None of us can go far successfully without knowing who we really are and what drives us to be very similar or very different from others.
What drives you and shapes you is what you will discover. So, don’t you think it might be a good exercise (adventure) to complete a Temperament Key? Oh, and perhaps best of all, surprisingly, you can verify it’s truth or falsehood all by yourself. You will find out if you really know yourself accurately or just in part.
A Look at What Lies Ahead
In this short series that follows, I will describe how this all happens and how you can find the core urges and drives that shape your life. These drives can bring you a great sense of fulfillment, satisfaction, and deeply seated pleasure when you exercise them. I have used this for decades with people and have seen their lives reach true happiness from driving their “material and non-material person” through life with self understanding!
Here’s how to answer the questions of the InnerKineics® Temperament Key.
This is a very positive assessment. We are looking for your strengths, not your weaknesses. There are no wrong answers since it is a self-evaluation. However, be as precise as possible. Read these instructions carefully since a knowledgeable guide is not looking over your shoulder and you can’t ask for help. It is imperative that you answer according to these instructions.
- Answer these questions according to your preferences (what you prefer), not according to what you think others would have you become.
- Answer each question individually. Don’t try to be consistent.
- Aim to get through the key in about 15 minutes or less.
- Think carefully about each answer. But avoid over-thinking, which can lead to confusion. If you are overthinking, ask yourself: “What am I the most or what would I most often prefer?”
- Again, let me put it this way: You will see yourself as both (a) and (b) in some of the questions. Your answer should be what you see yourself to be most of the time, or what you prefer the most.
- Your preferences are often different at home than at work. This can be due to the fact that at work, certain things are required of you and, therefore, they have become your work preferences. You prefer to do it that way at work, since that’s what is good for you. If your work preferences differ from your home preferences, answer according to your home preferences.
- We want to know what really beats in your breast, what really satisfies, fulfills, or pleases you the most.
The results should be accurate because the answers are yours. But if you attend one of my seminars or visit one of our licensed consultants, ask to be checked again. It’s a service we provide. When you read the descriptions of the temperaments in Chapters 7, 8, 9 and 10 of INNERKINETICS, you will determine whether they match your results in the temperament key. If they do not match the descriptions, then you answered with something else in mind, and you will need to switch to the temperament most like you.
This check on your answers is very helpful. The ones who are most likely to be confused about themselves are the NFs. They are the complicated temperament and have the greatest difficulties in understanding themselves for that understandable reason. Now, proceed with careful thought.

YOUR CHILD IS ALSO UNIQUE
It may surprise you, but your child is most probably a different temperament. They are unique individuals too. So even if they are the same temperament (two letters), they may be a different type (four letters). And the strength of their drives will different from yours as well. Your InnerKinetics (temperament) is not genetically passed on. Therefore, it is exceedingly important to understand your child. I’m a Keeper! is the resource you need to make that journey.
