Temperament: Understanding Behavioral Individuality

B-DI is a project dedicated to promoting the scientific work and professional applications in the area of temperament. Temperament is about behavioral individuality in infants, toddlers, children and adults. Just as babies are born with their own combination of physical characteristics such as hair and eye color, skin tone, and physique, behavioral scientists know that each one has patterns of behavioral style, or temperament, that are also part of their uniqueness.

The B-DI website is intended as a clearinghouse for research evidence and professional practice associated with temperamental characteristics, to be used by caregivers, students, clinicians and others who have an interest in behavioral individuality.
