WHAT A TEMPERAMENT
ANALYSIS IS

Not a personality quiz. The wiring underneath it.

Your temperament is the part of you that was there first, before your upbringing, your job title, or the habits you built to survive. Personality is what you learned. Temperament is what you were given.

Repairer of Cities is Temperament Studies counseling. A Temperament Analysis finds your true inborn temperament in the places it actually shows up: how you take in affection, how you handle control, how you move toward people. Then we sit down together and work out what it means for your real life.

  1. 01

    Restore

    The analysis itself

    You complete a structured temperament assessment. Then I walk you through exactly what the results say, and just as carefully, what they do not say.

  2. 02

    Renew

    The conversation

    We sit with the findings together. Where has your wiring been working for you? And where have you been fighting how you were made, then calling it a character flaw? That question is the one people tell me they remember.

  3. 03

    Rebuild

    What you take with you

    You leave with a written profile and language you can actually use at home, at work, and in ministry. Understanding is the beginning. Walking in it is the point.

The Four Temperaments

THE FOUR

Most people recognize themselves inside a minute of reading these. That flicker of recognition is the doorway. The analysis is what makes it precise.

Sanguine

Warm, expressive, people-energized. Walks into a room and the room changes. Needs to be needed, and can say yes to more than one person can carry.

Choleric

Driven, decisive, built to lead. Sees the goal and the path to it immediately. Strength here can read as hardness to the people closest in.

Melancholy

Deep, faithful, detail-true. Feels things all the way down and thinks before moving. Holds a standard so high that it can turn inward as self-judgment.

Phlegmatic

Steady, peaceable, unshakeable. The calm in a family or a team. Keeps the peace so well that their own needs can go unspoken for years.

Most people are a blend

Almost no one is a single temperament straight through. You may lead one way and love another. The analysis shows you the combination, and the combination is where the useful part lives.

“They shall rebuild the ancient ruins, they shall raise up the former devastations; they shall repair the ruined cities, the devastations of many generations.”

Isaiah 61:4

Cities get repaired one person at a time. That is the whole idea behind this practice.

Meet Your Analyst

JOELLE SURPRIS-SCOTT

Founder & Temperament Analyst

I started Repairer of Cities because I kept meeting people working hard to fix something that was never broken. They had been told they were too much, or too quiet, or too intense. And they believed it.

Temperament Studies gave me language for what I was seeing. When someone understands how they were actually made, the shame starts to come off. The work after that is still work, but it is finally the right work.

I do this one person at a time, in Charlotte and by video. If something here is landing, that is usually worth paying attention to.

FREQUENTLY
ASKED
QUESTIONS

Is this counseling or therapy?

This is faith-based temperament counseling. It is not clinical therapy and not a substitute for mental health treatment. If you are working with a therapist, this often sits alongside that work well. If you need clinical care, I will tell you so plainly.

How is this different from a personality test?

Personality tests generally measure how you behave now - which reflects what you have learned and adapted to. Temperament looks at the wiring underneath that, the part that was there before the adapting started.

Do I have to be a Christian for this to help?

No. The framework is faith-based and I will not hide that. But the findings about how you are wired are useful to anyone willing to look honestly at themselves.

How long does it take?

You take the assessment on your own time. The session where we go through it together is the part that matters. Reach out and I will walk you through scheduling and what to expect.

Can you work with couples, families, or ministry teams?

Reach out and tell me who is involved. So much conflict is just two people with different wiring reading each other wrong, and it eases once somebody names it.

What does it cost?

Contact me for current pricing. I would rather quote you honestly after hearing what you are looking for than post a number that fits no one.

Have questions about temperament analysis?

Start with a conversation. No pressure, no script, and no obligation to book anything.
