We offer Temperament Testing, Analysis and Counseling:

• Temperament testing is a written tool, otherwise known as the Arno Profile System (APS) which serves to identify an individual’s unique soul DNA as designed by God.

• The 5 Temperaments types are:

  • ​Melancholy

  • Phlegmatic

  • Sanguine

  • Choleric

  • Supine

(See our FAQ page for more information on temperament)​​​​

The wider the gap between our God given temperament and actual behavior, the greater the potential for dysfunction.
