Individual Personalities and Temperaments Every individual has a personality from birth to old age. When a child is born that child develops a personality or personality trait, which molds them into the various stages of life. As we all grow and develop we take on various roles and various personalities and most individuals choose the one they believe best suits them. An individual personality has to do with ones difference among other people in the way in which they behave (behavioral pattern), their cognition and emotion. Temperament is a residue of personality; it shapes and models an individual’s personality such as their introversion and extroversion. One mistake common among business owners is the expectation that everyone is and should be just like them, and that these people should accommodate the owner 's communication needs rather than the other way around. An example of this is a scenario where a woman (Amiable) who hired a financial planner (Analytical) to help her figure out the next steps for her business. She mentions that although he was offering sound advice, she found herself drained of energy in his presence and resistant to his recommendations so much that neither of them wanted to continue working together. As an Amiable, she felt the need to make tough decisions in a relaxed, friendly environment, with time to process the information. As an Analytical, his approach is "Here are the facts; now make your decision." (Monosoff 2011). It was clearly illustrated that as an employer you cannot let your personality and temperament be a determinant of who you hire. In most cases individual experience culture and personality class, but if looked at in a positive point of view both personality and temperament trait can lead to team cohesion and profitability within any organization.
