1)
– 1: high activity, 2: low distractibility, 3: high intensity, 4: highly regular, 5: low sensitivity, 6: high approaching, 7: high adaptability, 8: high persistence, 9: positive mood
2) My temperament type would be slow to warm up to/ cautious.
3) I wish my teachers/parents knew about my temperament type because I would learn to avoid everything. I was forced my whole childhood to participate when I felt uncomfortable and to even meet people I didn’t know, but was forced to talk to them as it was only “polite” to do so. I believe if they knew my temperament I wouldn’t try to avoid gatherings that involve people I didn’t know or even speak out when I wanted to. Being forced to do so made me even more cautious in other people.

3) What do you wish your family or teachers knew about your temperament type when you were a child? Why?
I wish my family or teachers knew that due to how shy I was it made it weird for me to meet new people. Due to this issue I would cry every day in daycare to the point my mother decided to remove me from pre-k. If maybe they tried new ways of helping me transition to be with new people I would have cooperate. I was starting school for the first time ever in my life after being home with my parents for 3 years. Before giving up and removing me from pre-k I wish she would have been told to work on socially and emotionally skills with me back at home and school routines orders that would help me fit in to school a little easier. Maybe than if my mom were to be taught the routines of school scheduling she could have practiced them at home to help me adapt to the school environment and routine.
Easy to adapt, low intense, low distraction, positive mood, high sensitive, high activity, regular, low approaching, high persistence. The type of temperament I would say is flexible. What I wish my teachers knew about my temperament is that I was a shy person when it came to certain things but I loved trying new things whether it took me a little bit of time to adjust to them. I did not like being around people I did not know but always kept positive and I like being active more than other things.

I still wanted attention from my teachers as well as more recognition. Just like the video stated I was often times disregarded because of my calm demeanor, and often times other kids would take advantage of that as well, like take a toy away from me.
Xitlaly — Thanks for your comment. It seems that for many of the traits you placed yourself in the middle; I wonder, does that make you a quiet, slow-to-warm-up, cautious temperament type?
