My guest in this program was Dr. David Kiersey, the author of a book called âPresidential Temperament.â Dr. Kiersey took the Meyers-Briggs Temperament inventories and developed what has come to be known as the Kiersey Temperament Sorter. In so doing, he has established and identified several different types of character and temperament of people. In his book, âPlease Understand Me,â the reader may use the Kiersey Temperament Sorter to get an idea of his or her personality and temperament traits. With his history and experience, Kiersey has examined the people who have become a President of the US and set out his analysis in âPresidential Temperaments.â In this program, originally broadcast in November of 1993 when Radio Curious was called Government, Politics and Ideas, weâll be talking about the book and some of the temperaments of the various Presidents.
Dr. David Kiersey recommends âKiller Angels,â by Michael Shaara & The Hornblower Series, by Horatio Hormblower.
Originally Broadcast: November 19, 1993
