One of the interesting factors in the Four Temperaments, is that there is no Leader - any one of them could be TheLeader in the piece and defines the approach the team takes to the problem, while in a series the focus can switch back and forth to develop characters separately - see ADayInTheLimelight. Rather than meeting through coincidence or brought together in the first episode, these four are more likely to be long-term friends or family from the start. There may be a fifth person hanging around occasionally but they're not really part of the team; they just add flavour or play the part of MentorArchetype.

** The '''I'''nspired '''I'''nfluencer of D'''I'''SC and UsefulNotes/MyersBriggs types generally: [[MyersBriggs/ExamplesOfArtisanPersonalitiesInStories Artisans]] or [[MyersBriggs/ExamplesOfIdealistPersonalitiesInStories Idealists]] - the ones more on the outgoing side.

* Introverted, quiet, and people-oriented. Kind, self-controlled and empathetic towards others. They are a diplomatic person, who does not want to get into conflicts, who runs away from confusion. Sometimes impulsive and sensitive, they are also more malleable than others ([[TheDogBitesBack To an extent]]). Doesn't like fights, is obedient, loyal, patient and fun. Usually assume passive postures in situations. They are homely, tolerant and very fond of being kind to people. [[note]]The temperament called '''Supine''' from another theory is covered in this temperament.[[/note]]

** The '''S'''table '''S'''upporter of DI'''S'''C and UsefulNotes/MyersBriggs types generally: either [[MyersBriggs/ExamplesOfIdealistPersonalitiesInStories Idealists]] or [[MyersBriggs/ExamplesOfGuardianPersonalitiesInStories Guardians]] - the ones more on the reserved side generally.
