Temperament
Captions available
The idea
Temperament is the innate, biological side of individuality, present from birth: consistent patterns of behaviour that stay relatively stable through infancy and beyond.
In practice
One newborn calm through a noisy room, another startling at every sound.
Where people slip
Temperament is observable behaviour; personality, which grows from it, adds inner motives and preferences.
