It may seem odd to find a gift giving guide on a site devoted to topics of counseling, guidance, temperament and behavior but I find many of those I speak with experience a tremendous amount of angst and anxiety when it comes to selecting a Christmas gift for those who are not of the same temperaments as themselves. With that in mind I have put together a gift giving guide compatable to the temperaments

If you have a choleric in your family or inner circle you already know they are all about control and power. So, how do you choose a Christmas gift FOR someone who prefers to control every element of their own lives as well as many elements of the lives of others?

Keep their underlying tendencies in mind. They are strong willed, independent, and they are leaders. Thy are decisive and direct and are never at a loss as to what they think about anything! They like things to be done their way and done their way now.

Here are some suggestions for what you could buy to keep your Choleric happy at Christmas. First remember they like things they don’t have to read the instructions because they view directions and instructions as someone telling them what to do.

1. Although your first reaction might be a generic gift card, they will view that as you not being able to make a choice and will smirk and perhaps disdain it. However, if you give them a gift card for a specific item that you may have heard them express and interest in, they will view that as an intelligent and decisive use of your time.

2. Another excellent choice for the Choleric is the “Power Tool.” The very name power tool strokes the innermost needs of their souls. And, their are so many to choose from that you should be able to find an appropriate one no matter what their area of interest.

• carpentry tools - Stanley
• mechanical tools - Craftsman
• business tools (laser pointer, PDA, pen/pencil set, digital recorder).

3. Don’t forget my home is my castle focused Choleric.

• vegetable chopper - Pampered Chef makes nice one
• automatic sweeper - Roomba Discovery is a good choice
• knife set - six star cutlery is good
• grinder - Consider Norpro
• presser - Cuisinart Pro Classic is impressive
