Temperament is a set of inclinations and predispositions that are hardwired in us from birth. Each type of person, unless blocked or deflected by an unfavorable environment, will develop the habits of character appropriate to his or her temperament.
Put another way, our brain is a sort of computer which has temperament for its hardware and character for its software (character is a set of habits we acquire as we grow and mature). Our temperament is the physical base of our personality, placing on each of us an unmistakable signature, some facets of which can be observed from a very early age.
