My pastor explained the temperaments this way (I think he probably read this somewhere):
Imagine that there is a door that needs to be painted...
**The lion goes to Home Depot, buys the supplies, and paints the door.
**The beaver goes to Home Depot, spends three hours comparing prices, debating finishes, considering colors... throws up his hands in defeat and goes home with a stomachache.
**The otter invites all of his friends over for a door-painting party, mixes drinks, BBQs steaks, has a total blast and forgets about the door.
**The golden retriever figures it can wait another day and takes a nap instead.

Of course these are generalizations, but it's fun to look around at our friends and family and recognize them in these descriptions.
