"Temperament and Personality http://www.moodtreatmentcenter.com/Temperament.htm
"Personality is divided into two parts: temperament and character. Temperament is what we are born with; it emerges from biological codes in our genes as we develop. Examples include:
1) How much sleep we need 2) How much we avoid danger or seek out new situations 3) How much we persist; how easily we let go
Character, in contrast, comes not from our genetics but from our experience of life. It is influenced by culture, upbringing, friendships and major life events. Character and temperament overlap and influence each other: there is no clean line separating nature from nurture.
Temperament and Mood
Research has identified four temperaments that are associated with mood disorders: hyperthymic, cyclothymic, dysthymic and irritable. This research is still limited: not everyone who has these temperaments will develop a mood disorder, and many people with mood disorders do not have these temperaments. "
