Hyperthymic temperament is characterized by a personality style or set of personality traits that include

• increased energy and productivity
• short sleep patterns
• vivid, active, extroverted
• self assured/self confident
• strong willed
• extremely conversational
• risk taking/sensation seeking
• breaking social norms
• strong libido
• generous and spendthrift
• emotion-sensing
• cheerful and jovial
• unusual warmth
• expansive
• robust and tireless
• irrepressible, infectious quality

Individuals with hyperthymic temperament are often seen as strong, energetic, productive, well-respected, and are very often the leaders of the social network; the alpha. By definition, hyperthymic temperament does not have significant elements of dysfunction in mental, interpersonal, business, or social situations, and is in fact, often a benefit (p. 12).

The Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) for the hyperthymic tempered personality is often ENTJ.
