Psychology of the personality. I find it absolutely fascinating!
It’s fun learning new (& strange) words that explain why people are the way that they are….why I am the way that I am.
Temperament is said to be biologically determined, and there are four basic groupings*:
Temperament: the combination of mental, physical, and emotional traits of a person; natural predisposition. -dictionary.com
- Phlegmatic: Cautious, Peaceful, Controlled, Observers. A person having an unemotional and stolidly calm disposition. Phlegmatics tend to be content with themselves and prefer stability to uncertainty and change. They are kind & affectionate. Often deliberate, rational, and reliable. Sometimes lazy & passive-aggressive.
- Melancholy: Anxious, Thinking, Planning, Loners. A person having a soft-hearted disposition. Melancholics are introverted and thoughtful. They are highly self-reliant, creative, and are usually perfectionists. Often reserved, reflective, moody or gloomy. Sometimes selfish &/or self-absorbed.
- Choleric: Assertive, Restless, Touchy, Leaders. A person having an irritable disposition. Cholerics like to be in charge of everything, but tend to go from one extreme to the other, with hardly any setup in-between. They are filled with passion & energy, and they try to instill that in others. Often impulsive, active, and quickly excited. Sometimes short-fused.
- Sanguine: Outgoing, Care-free, Fun-loving, People-Persons. A person having a cheerfully optimistic, hopeful, and/or confident disposition. Sanguines are sociable & charismatic. They enjoy social gatherings, and making new friends. Often lively, talkative, and bold. Sometimes shameless.

* According to Hippocrates & Humorism. Hippocrates was an ancient Greek physician, who believed that the human body consisted of & required the balance of ”4 humors” to remain healthy: phlegm, black bile, yellow bile, and blood. Persons having phlegm as the dominant humor, were considered “Phlegmatic”. Persons having a dominant humor of black bile, were “Melancholy”. Yellow bile, “Choleric”. Blood, “Sanguine”.
Apparently, I have but two drops of blood in entire my body. A plethora of phlegm. And traces of black bile. Ha!
Call the doctor.
I’d like to think I’m Sanguine – I’m typically very optimistic and I am definitely a people person
I figured I was Melancholy still because I’ve taken these types of quizzes before. But I took the quiz again to be sure. … And I’m still firmly in the Melancholy category.
I scored a 55. The only 2 traits that I think didn’t fit me were 1) Neat and tidy, and 2) Self-centered. All the others fit me to a tee.
I scored a 53 so I’m Melancholy.
I think I lean towards Sanguine.
I got a 51 but I was thinking I’d end up as phlegmatic. Some things were true under choleric but many not so I don’t know.
i too scored a 53: Melancholic full of black bile! hahah,funny
45. Choleric. Pretty accurate.
