1. Temperament is biologically determined where personality is a product of the social environment.<br />

2. Temperamental features may be identified from early childhood, whereas personality is shaped in<br />

later periods of development.<br />

3. Individual differences in temperamental traits like anxiety, extraversion-introversion, and stimulusseeking<br />

are also observed in animals, whereas personality is the prerogative of humans.<br />
