This weekend I attended a business conference and heard Florence Littauer, the author of Personality Plus, and her daughter Maurita speak. I’ve heard Florence before, but always enjoy learning from her each time.

Since meeting her many years ago and reading her books Personality Plus and Personality Tree, I’ve learned much more about my family and others I’m in contact with. I realized that my daughter and husband are different personalities from me. My grandchildren each are different and have their ways of thinking and doing things.
Do you know your child’s personality? This is not to excuse bad traits or actions because “that’s the way they are.” However, you understand your family members better with you learn the differences and similarities between the Popular Sanguine, Powerful Chloric, Peaceful Phlegmatic and Perfect Melancholy. No one falls into an exact category. Most people are a blend, but have some dominant traits that could be entirely different from yours.
Learning about the personalities helps us understand ourselves, too. Then, in a family, we can be more understanding and patient with one another. We also will discover our weaknesses or traits we may want to change so that we can better accomplish our goals.
Have you ever learned about the personalities of the members of your family, as well as your own?
