I relate to so many of these that I couldn't cite them all in a comment. I wanted to share my thoughts on "Lack of empathy" This is the "suck it up" mentality. There is a difference between lack of empathy and the ability to channel pain into a resource. It's related to the 'Run toward the thing that scares you" mentality. People who have experienced a lot of pain naturally have developed a higher tolerance to pain. This can come through as a lack of empathy. Those who have experienced lots of pain have also learned to channel it into power. That can also come across as a lack of empathy. It could simply be that they expect others to channel the pain the same way.

This temperament thing sounds like the big five personality traits; are they related?
I was actually waiting for them to mention the big five personality traits, but I rarely hear about the big five outside of the psychological field. Whenever anyone other than a psychologist is talking about personality, it seems they always refer to the 16 personality types. I don't think the big five and myer briggs is related when it comes to research but since they both try to measure personality, there will be some overlap in questions (I noticed it most with agreeableness and extraversion). I like to think of it as solving the problem from different angles.
