WHAT IS THE ARNO PROFILE SYSTEM (APS)?
The Pastoral counselor administers a questionnaire of 54
questions, which takes less than 10 minutes for the
counselee to complete. After the completion of the APS a
7 to 8 page computer analysis will be received. The
questionnaire measures the counselee’s needs, natural
traits, strengths, and weaknesses according to
temperament.
This computerized APS report provides in-depth
information and the best way to counsel the individual.
This system enables a qualified counselor to identify
the counselee’s root problem, faster and more
accurately.
The temperament identification provided in the APS
report identifies three separate human interactions. It
also identifies each one of these interactions in two
ways, expressed (what we say we want) and wanted (what
we really want).
-
Inclusion (social orientation and
intellectual energies)
-
Control (ability to make decisions
and desire to take on responsibilities)
-
Affection (interaction in deep
relationships)
The APS identifies a person’s temperament in each one of
the three interaction areas listed above. For example, a
person may be a Sanguine in the Inclusion (social) area,
a Melancholy in control (decision making) area and
Supine in Affection (deep relationships) area.
THE DIFFERENT TEMPERAMENT TYPES
-
Melancholy: has an unquenchable
thirst for knowledge, prone to genius, very
creative, mind tends to work overtime, going over
and over events of the past, needs alone time to
regroup.
-
Sanguine: fun loving, will leave in
the middle of a chore or assignment if they find out
there is something fun going on somewhere, never
wants to grow up, stressed out if there are not
places to go and people to see.
-
Choleric: a drive to greatness, but
will step on your toes to get there, needs lots of
appreciation along the way.
-
Phlegmatic: quite stubborn and set
in his ways, uncomfortable with confrontation and
seeks peace at all costs to avoid strife, feels he
needs sleep to regroup but never gets enough, very
annoying to the Choleric as this is the one
temperament that cannot be coerced into doing
something if they don’t want to.
NOTE: During Drs. Arno research they discovered
a fifth temperament, the Supine. The Supine is unique to
the Arno Profile System.
