Temperament Test

Service Description

The Arno Profile System (APS) (formerly known as the Temperament Analysis Profile) is an accurate, simple, and highly effective tool to identify the inborn temperament of the individual seeking counsel. It enables a counselor to help identify an individual's bearing in life and gets to heart of the problem faster than other conventional secular therapies. This means an individual or family can save money by greatly reducing the number of individual sessions, or if married a number of couples counseling sessions! Looking at getting married soon? This is also a great test to take for premarital counseling! What is Temperament Testing? In Creation Therapy theory, the inborn temperament is placed within us by God while we are in our mother's womb. Our temperament remains with us throughout our lives. How we chose to express it can and may be influenced by the following: • Our upbringing (how we were raised as children) • Our environment (physical and cultural) • Our education and training • The indwelling of Holy Spirit actively at work in the lives of those in Christ Jesus It is believed, the core of an individuals temperament influences and determines how they interact with their environment and other people around them. This inborn temperament can also influence our perceptions, expectations and understanding of the world around us and of the people who love us. The APS enables the measurement of, and understanding the nature of a person’s temperament. Both strengths and weaknesses will be revealed. Areas of weakness typically provide the best opportunities for healing. Each three areas of temperament has its own set of strengths and weaknesses. The description of your temperament test results will include both strengths and weaknesses which are usually demonstrated in someone who has your temperament profile type. This does not mean that you personally show these strengths and or weaknesses in your individual, unique life. Scripture says that out of our weaknesses we are made strong (Hebrews 11:34). "You shall know the truth and the truth shall set you free” John 8:32. As you read or discuss your profile, it is critical to remember that this is a general diagnosis and not a specific interpretation of your life or behavior. It is valuable because it will help you discover the strengths you may develop, the weaknesses you may resist, unmet needs that can cause stress and conflict in your life and your relationships.
