Cloninger's Temperament and Character Inventory

Cloninger's Temperament and Character Inventory (TCI) is a psychological tool used to assess personality traits. It measures four temperamental traits—such as how emotionally sensitive or persistent someone is—and three character traits like self-directedness and cooperativeness, which reflect personal goals and social interactions. The TCI helps understand individual differences in behavior, emotional responses, and personality development. It is often used in clinical and research settings to explore how these traits influence mental health, relationships, and overall well-being, offering a comprehensive view of personality’s biological and psychological aspects.
