On March 19, 2026, a psychological educational session titled “Temperament and Character: What Is the Difference and How Do We Understand Ourselves?” was held at the Faculty of Physics and Technology for second-year students of the Department of Plasma Physics, Nanotechnology and Computer Physics.

In addition to professional knowledge, modern specialists are expected to possess soft skills, including the ability to manage personal traits. Therefore, the event aimed to enhance students’ self-awareness and improve communication within the group.

The session was conducted not as a traditional lecture, but in the format of open dialogue and interactive activities. It began with a warm-up exercise, “What animal are you today?”, which helped create a relaxed atmosphere and encouraged active participation.

In the main part, students were introduced to scientific concepts explaining that temperament is an innate trait, while character develops over time. Based on the classification of Hippocrates, students analyzed the characteristics of sanguine, choleric, phlegmatic, and melancholic types, identifying their strengths and weaknesses.

One of the most engaging elements of the session was the use of digital tools. Students completed an online test via QR code to identify their psychological type. During the “Guess the Type” activity, participants creatively demonstrated different temperament types through short role-play performances.

The key takeaway of the session was expressed as: “There is no such thing as a bad temperament.”

During the discussion, students explored questions such as “Can character be changed?” and “How does temperament influence career development?”. Participants concluded that each temperament type has its own value, and the key is to use individual traits effectively.

As a result of the session:

• students’ self-awareness improved;
• mutual understanding and respect within the group were strengthened;
• basic skills of psychological analysis were developed.

The event, conducted as part of teaching practice, provided valuable professional experience for the graduate students. The organizers were first-year graduate students Kazhaeva A. and Kumar A.
