"Why would he do that?" "How could she say that?" "I just don't understand some people!" God created every human being, but we have different temperaments. An understanding of how people tick, especially if they are not like us, helps us to understand our neighbors so we can love them better. In addition, as writers, we need a deep understanding of people to write well. Fiction writers need to create believable characters, and nonfiction writers need to awaken an understanding of their topic or the subject of their biography in readers. Understanding the temperaments is an eye-opening (sometimes mind-blowing) way to achieve this. Come learn how to use knowledge of the temperaments to improve your relationships and enrich your writing!
