Temperament

The Forum

Available for over a year

Introvert, extrovert, agreeable, difficult, angry, calm - these are all words used to describe temperament. But what determines temperament? Is it fixed or can it change with experience? What part does it play in sport and sporting achievement? The discovery of 'equal temperament', the tuning system by which notes are organised in western music, has had a profound impact on composition. Bridget Kendall explores 'temperament' with psychologist Brian R. Little, lute player Elizabeth Kenny and sports and business performance expert Rasmus Ankersen.
