Each year an individual is awarded from each of the Four Temperaments: Artisan, Guardian, Idealist, and Rational.

The awards are given to individuals who are "famous" and have significantly impacted the world, to illustrate and highlight the Four Temperaments.
Keirsey Temperament Awards 2010.

The selection is difficult, for sometimes Temperament is hidden because we are looking at these individuals from a far. We don't know the individuals personally, and only through the media are we familiar with these people.
