Keirsey
Dear Friend,
I am very pleased to present you the May issue of the Keirsey Magazine! This
month, we are featuring Diana Princess of Wales, she was born Diana Frances
Spencer, and became adored as, The Peoples Princess. To most of the world,
she was known as, the fairy tale princess, or as the most photographed
woman of her generation. Surprisingly, what many do not realize is that
she was one of the most compassionate people to grace the planet. Her
temperament was that of an Idealist Healer (INFP), who spent much of her time
in hospitals, orphanages, and centers for the diseased, disabled, and dying. In
one year, she carried out 397 official engagements to such places to visit with
people who were desperately in need. She displayed extraordinary courage by
touching people who were terminally ill. We hope that you too will be moved to
action by the model of her compassionate life.
In this issue you will also learn about the kinds of investments you can make in
people, and the impact it makes when you consider their temperaments. We
also explore the subject of love and empathy, and engage in a discussion on
how to love unconditionally. We are asking that you open up your hearts, and
go deep with your soul. We hope that you will catch a glimpse of the power
of compassion, and think about how you can make a unique difference in
someones life. We would love to engage in this discussion together with you.
We invite you to send us your thoughts to magazine@keirsey.com. We hope
you are touched as you experience this months issue of the Keirsey Magazine!
All the Best,
Lisa J. Choi

Loving Unconditionally
Loving unconditionally is about total
acceptance of the other. It means
accepting the good, the bad, the lovely,
and the ugly. And lets face it, thats
hard to do! Whether its a significant
other, a parent, child, friend, colleague,
or client, loving (or even liking) another
human being can be a challenge after
the initial honeymoon phase where
everything feels amazing. We would say
that loving another entails a close look
at the person for who they are. It means
celebrating and tolerating the other.
We would say that we are taught to
celebrate the awesome aspects about an
individual (usually called their strengths),
and for those things which are seen
as weaknesses, we often punish, try to
change, or reject. We celebrate their
strengths, and we ask them to change
their weaknesses.
In Keirseys point of view, we believe that
a persons strengths and weaknesses
are configured together as a part of
the same system. That is, strengths
and weaknesses are a part of the same
tree. They are branches that stem from
the same trunk, which share the same
roots. Becoming irritated with a persons
weaknesses, and asking a person to get
rid of their weaknesses is what is often

Anatomy of an Empath
Empaths are soulful. They are sensitive. They make heartfelt connections.
Often seen as eccentric, they can be marginalized, excluded, or forgotten.
When they seek to change the world, their actions are soft and gentle.
They quietly make a difference. What are Empaths like? Can you be one?
This month we celebrate Empaths.

Investing In People
In the April 2015 issue of the Keirsey Magazine, we looked at Warren Buffetts path
to wealth. He established a pattern of investing and reinvesting his returns. And now
in the latter years of his life, he is making his biggest reinvestment of all, but this time,
it is a different kind of reinvestment. He has entrusted most of his wealth to the Gates
Foundation(in 2006 he gifted 10 million shares of Berkshire Hathaway, which at the
time was worth approximately $31 billion.) His reinvestment will make a difference in
the world, and ultimately the beneficiaries will be people.
Although it is doubtful that many of us will become the next Warren Buffett, we can still
invest in others with the money that we earn over our lifetime, and we can start today.
The question is, What is the best investment you can make in someone? Depending
on the temperament of those you are investing in, you may want to consider what
kind of investment goes the furthest. When you invest wisely in someone, there are
different responses and different returns based on their temperament. In this article, we
look at how you can use your money to invest in others.

Investing in Artisans
Learning
+ Opportunities = Impact
The best way you can invest your money with Artisans is to provide
opportunities for learning and impact. Artisans are always seeking to improve their
skills, and they want to use those skills to make a huge dent. So the investment to
make is to find something that you want to bet on, get them equipped, and get out
of the way so that they can do their thing.
To keep them motivated and charged up, give them audacious gifts, engage
together in over-the-top experiences, and share great food and wine. They want to
be constantly challenged with something big and bold, and they are stimulated by
pleasure.
The kind of return you get when you invest in an Artisan with learning and
opportunities is an individual who develops quickly and puts into action what
theyve learned. Learning for the Artisan is very utilitarian. They dont learn for the
sake of acquiring knowledge. They learn because it is directly related to what is
tied to the goal. Your investment will lead to significant results for any objective
you set.

Keirsey
Investing in Idealists
For Idealists, the key investment formula to think about is:
Authenticity
+ Mentoring = Loyalty
The best way you can invest your money with Idealists is to use it to give
symbolic gifts or facilitate mentoring experiences, which show that you know who
they are. Idealists are always seeking to be authentic within and with others, and
they want to be truly seen as unique. So the investment to make is to put in the
time to find, make, or facilitate something meaningful, which reveals how special
they are to you. Mentoring is about personal involvement, and this is what they
hunger for.
To keep them motivated and charged up, give them your time, provide coaching,
and recognize their uniqueness regularly. They want to be seen at deeper levels and
recognized for their good intentions, and they keep going strong when you show them
you care.
The kind of return you get when investing in an Idealist with authenticity and
mentoring is an individual who is utterly loyalto do whatever, whenever. Idealists
want to be their truest selves, and they want to reach their fullest potential and
help others to do the same. When trust is established, they give their best, and do
everything they can to not let you down. They do best when they are known, and give
themselves to the team and to the mission. Your investment will lead to a relationship
that grows for the long run.

Investing in Guardians
Compensation
+ Praise = Faithfulness
The best way you can invest your money with Guardians is to provide great
compensation and appreciation for precise execution. Guardians are always seeking
to be reliable in carrying out their duties, and they want to be approved as being
responsible. So the investment to make is to pay them well, and praise them for getting
it done. Financial compensation goes furthest with Guardians over any other types.
To keep them motivated and charged up, give them incremental raises, provide
regular feedback, and recognize their achievements formally. They want to be validated
and approved as being dependable, and they keep going strong when they are earning
respectability.
The kind of return you get when you invest in a Guardian with generous financial
compensation and praise is an individual who is utterly faithful in delivering with
accuracy. Due to their high need for closure, Guardians need to get things checked
off as complete. Money is tangible for them and so is recognition. They perform at
their best because they are being counted on, and they make sure that they are doing
work that measures up to their pay grade. Your investment will lead to smoothly run
processes.
43
Keirsey
Investing in Rationals
Complexity
+ Resources = Solutions
The best way you can invest your money with Rationals is to provide resources
to help them tackle complex problems. Rationals are always seeking to address the
issues that others dare not address, and they do whatever it takes to figure out the
solution. So the investment to make is to find something complex enough that keeps
them engaged and to provide resources, which they can align to entail success.
To keep them motivated and charged up, link them up to the most brilliant minds
in their space, provide learning experiences that they cant access on their own, and
take care of all their small stuff. They are constantly on the lookout for anything that
is relevant to solving the issue at hand. They thrive on intellectual stimulation.
The kind of return you get on investing in a Rational with resources to address a
complex problem are solutions which are extremely difficult to come by. Rationals
are natural problem solvers. They will harness every resource they can to get to a
solution. They dont like to take on small challenges. They like to tackle things that
no one else can. They seek to be masters of their domain. And are ever looking to
expand their territories of expertise. Your investment will lead to innovative solutions
that most others would never be able to even imagine.

WHAT IS TEM
Temperament is a configuration of observable personality traits,
such as habits of communication, patterns of action, and sets of
characteristic attitudes, values, and talents. It also encompasses
personal needs, the kinds of contributions that individuals make in
the workplace, and the roles they play in society. Dr. David Keirsey
has identified humankinds four basic temperaments as the Artisan,
the Guardian, the Idealist, and the Rational.

GUARDIAN
Guardians value experience, security, authority, and respectability. They
have logistical talents in establishing processes, executing methodically,
managing goods and services, and upholding standards. They seek higher
levels of responsibility and clear paths to advancement. Guardians
express themselves earnestly while observing traditions,
following rules, and taking part in societal activities. They
need routines, stable structures, familiar processes,
and clearly defined procedures to do their best work.
Guardians can be counted on to mind the store,
attending to the details of a project, diligently
seeing it through to completion.

CONCRETE
Artisans value potency, generosity, creativity,
and adaptability. They have tactical talents in
sales, marketing, operations, various forms of art,
working with their hands, trouble-shooting, and crisis
management. They seek stimulation, adventure, variety,
and time/space to perfect their skills. Artisans express
themselves excitedly while making deals, taking risks, playing
games, and entertaining others. They need freedom to act on
impulse, and flexibility in their work to make spontaneous decisions.
Artisans can be counted on to just do it, improvising actions, seizing
opportunities, and forging onward when others have given up.

ABSTRACT
Rationals value knowledge, competence, reason,
and achievement. They have strategic talents in
complex planning, structural design, reframing
arguments, exploring theoretical concepts, and
systems analysis. They seek efficiency, intellectual
stimulation, and solutions to problems. Rationals
express themselves calmly while critiquing and questioning
the status quo, always insisting on a logical basis for action.
They need worthwhile challenges, and autonomy to be able to solve
complex problems. Rationals can be counted on to think outside the box,
offering innovative ideas and strategies for accomplishing well-defined long
term goals.
