We often use the term temperament to describe a person’s personality. You might go, “they have a lovely temperament”, or “he has an unpleasant temperament”. However, your temperament only forms part of your personality.
Your personality is composed of distinguishing traits individually and interacting with each other may dictate how you behave and react in specific situations.
