High Level Description Of Your Personality Type - Thank Me Later. by MizMyColi(f): 2:11pm On Aug 14, 2014
Okay, I've been meaning to post on this topic for a long while, but I've always been discouraged by its bulkiness.

Some of us have probably heard of the four and/or five temperament types viz: Choleric, Sanguine, Melancholic, Phlegmatic and Supine.

We may also know by now that, we are usually two mixes of either of this four/five smiley

Today, We'll look at the Meyer Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) Personality Types. There are 16 Personalities.

So! Brace yourself because you'll definitely see a whole new perspective as to why you're the way you are.

For those who are used to the Tim LaHaye temperament types, the list below will help you know where you belong under MBTI.

ISTJ: pure Melancholy
ISTP: MelSan
ISFP: PhlegSan (or SupSan)
ISFJ: PhlegMel (or SupMel)
ESTP: ChlorSan
ESTJ: ChlorMel
ESFP: pure Sanguine
ESFJ: SanMel
INFJ: MelPhleg (or MelSup)
INTJ: MelChlor
INFP: Supine & Phlegmatic; pure or blended together
INTP: PhlegChlor (or SupChlor)
ENFP: SanPhleg (or SanSup)
ENFJ: ChlorPhleg (or ChlorSup)
ENTP: SanChlor
ENTJ: pure Choleric

{just on the sidelines though, this post isn't meant to spoon-feed you, I'll drop some hints and if you feel like a particular type describes you, you could click on the link for an in-depth reading}

If after going through the whole post, and you don't seem to fit in anywhere or you kinda fit in loosely, you might wanna take this test grin Just Click Here

Which one be Supine again? undecided

xynerise: Which one be Supine again? undecided


If you are Supine you probably have many interests and cares, but little ability or need to express your needs. One Supine remarked that to be a Supine "felt like having tape over his mouth." They often have a wish or desire, but are unable or unwilling to express it. The Supine often wish that others could "read their minds." If others have ever observed that you are too sensitive or easily offended, you may very well have a Supine temperament. Slow-paced and diligent, Supines are not indifferent or uncaring about life. Quite the opposite, they may have the strong feeling of the Sanguine but simply be unwilling to express themselves.

Perhaps the best way to describe the Supine is that it seems to be a combination of the Sanguine and the Melancholy. The Melancholy expresses little need for and, as a true introvert; they tend to shy away from social contact. A Supine does not express much need for much social contact either; however their need is VERY great! Like the Sanguine, they have a great need for social relationships. They look like they don’t want it but effectively hide their needs and expect you to read their mind. And if you fail to correctly read their mind, they will be “hurt.”

One cant unequivocally say this is how this work or this is how that work.

I take risks, I crack jokes, I get annoyed at times, I'm full of life and can be boring too et al yet I'm a phleg!

So it's not a coincidence, these stuffs are just shots at the dark, pay them no mind.

You're a ChlorPhleg yet I'm madly in love with you, what does that say?

The list is lying!

One is rarely, if ever, a combo of two in the 16 personalities. Its even possible to mistake your type for another. I used to be soo convinced I'm ISFJ cos we share similar traits, until the hard truth Hit me...... I was never an Introvert to begin with grin
