KEIRSEY ANNUAL TEMPERAMENT AWARDS

Awarded to well known and best examples of the temperaments of the year.

2005

GUARDIAN OF THE YEAR

Martha Stewart (PROVIDER GUARDIAN)

Jailhouse to the Penthouse

The Host of a New Apprentice: Wait until Martha says to you: You don't fit in ... A Very Guardian Perspective: but given in the most sincere way. Not as blunt as Trump's "Your Fired."

The Apprentice tasks will be centered around Stewart's areas of expertise: media, home renovation, entertaining, design, merchandising, technology and style. Guardians excel at commerce.

ARTISAN OF THE YEAR

Jim Cramer (PERFORMER ARTISAN)
Flamboyant, irreverent, over-the-top, and smart as a whip, Jim Cramer personifies fortune-making spirit of today's marketplace. Combining his uncanny ability to predict market shifts with his groundbreaking use of the Internet, Cramer's pronouncements have been known to move markets - a power formerly reserved for Wall Street analysts and traditional sources like the Wall Street Journal.

RATIONAL OF THE YEAR

Sergey Brin and Lawrence Page ( Engineering RATIONALS)

Google as a concept.

"The Google guys are bright, friendly and somewhat goofy guys."

They weren't interested in making money, rather they wanted to build a useful search engine.

IDEALIST OF THE YEAR

POPE JOHN PAUL II

(TEACHER IDEALIST)

In Memoriam

John Paul was a new pope, raised to the papacy just eight months before. The day after he became pope he made it clear he would like to return as pope to his native Poland to see his people.

"Historians say World War II ended in 1945. Maybe in the rest of the world, but not in Poland. They say communism fell in 1989. Not in Poland. World War II and communism both ended in Poland at the same time--in 1979, when John Paul II came home."
