Your Temperament

You are a Phlegmatic Father.

What you need to know

You are the calm in your house, and that calm is a real gift. It is also the reason your wife is leading where you should be leading, and your children are waiting for a father who never fully steps into the room. Your steadiness is not weakness. Your absence is. The same man who struggles to move is the man who, once he decides to lead, becomes something his family has never had: solid ground. They are not waiting for a louder or more energetic father. They are waiting for you to initiate.
