What's Your Temperament?

Clear Your Mind And Go With Your Instincts To Expose Your Temperament

Melancholics are deep, thoughtful, and idea-oriented. They are consumed by a sense of idealism and unfulfilled longing. With a melancholic temperament, you tend to get hung up on the little things, and you can be hard on yourself and others (even unforgiving at times). You're self-motivated and respond poorly to threats and incentives because you know exactly what you're capable of. The way you think is methodical, often using tiny tricks you form to keep your thoughts organized. When it comes to a big challenge or hurdle, you are the person to call as this way of thinking separates reason from passion and you are able to handle these kinds of issues with grace. However, day-to-day annoyances weigh on you far more heavily than you'd like them to, and you often get frustrated by minor hang-ups when things don't go as you planned. While you have the patience and discipline to get things done on your own, you absolutely hate when other people are linked to you and weigh you down. This can make it hard to cultivate relationships. Deep down, though, you're one of the most hard-working and caring individuals out there.

Melancholic!

Cholerics are natural leaders. They actually prefer to be leaders over followers. As a choleric, you're competitive, driven, and entrepreneurial. You constantly have the bandwidth and enthusiasm to sell water to a fish. You can easily command rooms, but not because of bull-headed aggression or domination. You're more thoughtful than that and can solve questions that seem to not have an answer. You're a hard thinker, and tend to selfishly get so involved in your own thought process that you rarely clue other people in or have the time to teach them your thinking along the way. You know how heavy it can be to hold power, but you handle that weight well. You're always confident, sometimes even to the point where it can come across as arrogant. However, you don't have time for insecurity or anxiety. You defend every move you make, even if it's the wrong one. Take time to remember that listening to a variety of inputs doesn't show weakness or unsteadiness, and it goes a long way when others feel like their voices are validated and heard. You have the mentality and stamina to make dreams into realities, but the right ideas may not come along unless you listen out for them.

Choleric!

Everything phlegmatics do is grounded in logic. As a phlegmatic, you're naturally an empath. The thoughts and feelings of others weigh heavily on you, and you're great to talk through emotions with. You've got a very cooperative spirit because you're patient and understanding. However, people oftentimes try taking easy advantage of your good will. You have trouble with confrontation and avoid people with challenging presences. This can lead to more anxious feelings than are welcome. Your calmness under pressure goes hand-in-hand with your innate need to avoid conflict. You value predictability and routine, but make no mistake: You are fantastic at handling pressure, and don't typically get upset by people trying to get a rise out of you. Your spirit is giving, but it's important not to lose track of yourself in the services you do for others.

Phlegmatic!

Sanguines are peoples' people through and through. As a sanguine, you love being around others, getting to know strangers, and you thrive in a crowd. You're creative and motivated by fun! You aren't one that likes to be stuck in the same place. You just hate monotony. With that in mind, you have a hard time staying focused, and tend to draw your attentions away from projects when they become grinding or tedious. You tend to shy away from things that require a high bandwidth, and opt for hobbies and work that give you instant gratification. You have the tendency of being kind of shallow, but it's a reciprocal feeling. The fact is that you care deeply about what your first impression is and are eager to please. You're warm, compassionate, and friendly to everyone you meet. However, your emotions can change quickly and it's hard for people to get out of trouble when they do something that upsets you.

Sanguine!
