@ op nice post going here! But I think you might have left out one very important trait of a pheelmatic. Stubbornness. Phlegs are very stubborn, whereas they might be procrastinators, when a phleg wants Something nothing can stop him from getting it! He plots, manipulates and does everthing he can until he gets it! That makes them good marketers. That's where I disagree with u, u said they are not good marketers, you are wrong. A phleg in his calm way will convince and manipulate u to do something you don't really want to do. And once motivated they can be the most competitive person in a group, they might not show it but inside they are seriously plotting to get the best. When they are not leaders they have a hard time following authority because they will always believe they can do a better job. A phleg will not volunteeer to lead, but when appointed will lead marvellously.
He's also very good at saying no. Again attributed to his sturboness. He might not stomp and scream no like a choleric will do, he ll just smile and then just won't do it.
word bro. Ur on point

I've had the opportunity of being the head of two organizations, one an inspirational NGO (Lifechangers int'l) and the other a profit Business group (Entrepower, which I'm still the head) So I decided to put my knowledge to use here in Nairaland.

After experiences and much study of people due to one on one interaction I've realised that of a truth we have four temperaments. Since I cannot come up with more befitting acronymns for them I'll use the already existing ones.

1. The Sanguine
2. The Choleric
3. The Melancholic
4. The[b] Phlegmatic[/b]

Unless you were born in mars, had never been to school or don't have a thing for reading,you must have come across these words before. Although, no person has one singular temperament, we have a maximum of two and a minimum of two. Also, environmental factors might give room for slight variations, but they are usually very negligible.

Most people believe they have a distinct trait, peculiar character or are 'just them' but I'll tell you that you are not the only one that acts the way you do, not even in your street. Some others believe that they have temperaments but don't know which exactly, confused. While the bandwagon would say abeg leave that thing, I don't believe it. Well, if you finish my article which I am 'painstakingly preparing' and with sincerity, you will not only laugh, but also discover your temperament and how you can use it to improve your Life and Career.

Finally, emotional intelligence is a gift, at least to me. I have the funny but uncanny ability to tell ones personality trait or temperament(as the case may be) by several conversations or even one meeting. Yes one meeting, one conversation. This came effortless(so don't think I'm hardworking).

So I'll begin..

scared of public speech, been very free and helping at your inconvenience are def NOT choleric. The only xter u HV as choleric is being able to lead and phlegs can do DAT as well with enough motivation. Ur dominant character is phleg cos most of your attributed are(lazy at times, peace maker, crash programmes, like ur space, very quiet but can be a talkative, u probably have a dry sense of humour and can be quite sarcastic at times, you might be quietly stubborn and kinda stingy) As for u being arranged, and liking things being done right, being scared of public speech are among melancholic traits.ur probably sturbbon that's why you feel your chlor. Phlegs are very stubborn too but they show it in different ways.

You can also read "THE REAL YOU" by Dr. Kevin Leman.
None of the research is 100% accurate. There are some factors that can alter or make certain characteristics of a temperament inactive especially when you're informed by analysing your first part of your philosophical window. You can correct the bad side of your temperaments if you know before hand by honestly and courageously work against it too.

very true.lahaye said DAT. My own take is DAT dose characters that you exhume with ease are who u really are. D others are what u work on to show d world. Hence once in a while u fagout if u keep doing DAT.

We have them all, but the dominant ones: the primary and secondary set the pace in our lives.
Re: How Your Temperament Affects Your Career Choice And General Performance. by GRACEGLORY: 2:16pm On Oct 14, 2015
DukeNija:
The second temperament is:

The Choleric
Adolf Hitler, Winston Churchill, General Buhari. These are cholerics, but wait, they all have something in common. They are also all Leaders.

Cholerics are natural born leaders. They are dictators, rule givers and hardened/wicked controllers.
They Lead, others follow.

Your boyfriend that never really changes his mind until you have $ex with him as bribe is most likely a Choleric.
They are visionary Leaders and administrators. The Bishop that slapped a 'witch' is most likely a Choleric. They are the no-nonsense people who always believe in themselves.

They are very very optimistic, goal-driven and purposeful. Never loosing sight of their target. They easily get angry at the slightest provocation and can NEVER forget a harm done to them as well as a favour they owe.

They hardly accept correction, always carrying their I-Know-It-All attitude everywhere. Infact they don't even listen, not to even imagine considering your opinions on a task.

They are perfect planners, organisers and administrators as they are forged to lead the pack. They do it effortlessly.
They are not very emotional. If you never really enjoyed your moms love and affection as a child, because of her strict and I don't care if you cry to death attitude, forgive her, she's most likely a Choleric.

If your Cheat on your Choleric fine and loving babe, you don enter.
She will not only breakup, but see you as a low life and untrained dog who cannot control his kini.. She will never forgive you lai lai.

Cholerics are the strongest, most disciplined and most composed of all temperaments. They are good people managers and can 'use' people wella. They are good decision makers and are always Workaholics. Think Gov Fash.
They are extremely impatient, angry and intolerant. Think Anger, think Choleric.
A Choleric woman will no doubt control her husband except she is a well trained, well mannered, dedicated and good wife.

They hardly have friends, having hurt or scarred most people they know, they are usually the most hated in the class, or group. They hate to work with people, and believe that they must have it their way or you go the highway. They care less what you think and can use hate to destroy their homes and relationships. They are definitely not the worst people, it just that they are very strong people. They are very very Confident and Charismatic people.

next is the Melancholic...

Buhari, isn't a Choleric, in fact Pastor La' Haye, didn't discuss Buhari's kind of Temperament.
Please note: Being disciplined doesn't make him Choleric. It was due to military training. I've you heard Mr. President talk before, thass how an introvert talks. An example of Choleric is Gani Fawehimi, the Super extrovert himself.

I might have commented 4years late, but if you are still alive, here are my thoughts. you are majorly an introvert and to be more precise a melancholy. melancholy when happy can be as much of an extrovert as the sanguine followed by depression, they are analytical, emotional, self-deciplined and love to be alone with their thoughts, they mostly show their talkative side to extremely close family and friends. we all have a touch of all the temperaments with one having a higher percentage than the rest.
