The Keirsey Temperament Sorter is an easily administered 70-item forced choice assessment device that provides an assessment of how people organize and view their world. It is based on the four dimensions of personality derived from the work of Carl Jung and results in the classification of individuals into 1 of 16 temperament types initially described in the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator. The four dimensions of temperament are extraversion versus introversion, intuition versus sensing, thinking versus feeling, and judging versus perceiving. Considering the relative weaknesses of each side of the four temperamental dimensions, it becomes possible to surmise potential problem areas for clients seeking mental health interventions, along with corresponding treatment recommendations. A list of such weaknesses and treatment recommendations for each dimension is provided based on descriptions by Keirsey. These recommendations have been devised for a correctional drug treatment program, so the identified problem areas tend to emphasize issues related to such a population. By evaluating the common weaknesses of each type, it is possible to construct a listing of areas that should be explored with each individual as a possible focus of intervention in the construction of an individualized treatment plan. The goal of presenting weaknesses is that the individual can better understand both their strengths and weaknesses. The construction of an individual treatment plan may draw upon the identified strengths of each person in devising suggestions for overcoming identified weaknesses. 2 tables, 12 references
