stable temperament
Consistent emotional baseline
A stable temperament is an even, consistent emotional disposition—one not easily disturbed by stress or provocation.
Someone with a stable temperament doesn't swing between highs and lows or react explosively to setbacks: Her stable temperament makes her ideal for crisis management.
