as far as i know, there are 4 temperaments (personality styles):
extrovert
sanguine - friendly, jovial, not disciplined, cheerful, easily bored and angered,untidy
choleric - more serious and goal -oriented

introvert
phlegmatic - cool- headed, reflective, neat and always in control of self
melancholic - deeply withdrawn, creative and artistic, deep thinker

I love Tim LaHaye as a writer. I have read the book you are speaking of, and also the sequel to it (The Spirit controlled temperament). A few years ago, when I read the book, I was revealed to be strongly melancholic. I believe that this might have now changed. . .

Reading the book and UNDERSTANDING it are two different things. Did you understand it? If yes, what is your temperament?

Everyone is a blend of all four if they are made to choose based on that book. A visit to a good psychologist would reveal yours cheesy

everyone is a blend of the four, with some temperaments dominating more than the others, I think.



quite an interesting line of thought and also very ancient.

hmmm, If its ancient, can it be relied on?
Is there a more reliable (or newer) temperament study?
Actually, i ve been thinkin about personalities lately, i'm not sure if theres any thing like a genetic behaviour trait, we are probably what, and only what we have been brought up to be- our life experiences and relationships, etc.
Maybe i should have studied psychology undecided wink

Yea
i've read the book and it really helped me know why i behave the way i
do sometimes.
Although every individual's supposed to be a mixture of the four,I
think am more of choleric and melancholy with a spice of sanguine.

Read "Spirit Controlled Temperament " and "Why you act the way you do"..It's been long though but I can still summarize the four Main Temperaments
CHOLERIC-hot-headed, hot-tempered,irascible, Extroversive, short-tempered, over-serious..Example- Adolf Hitler
MELANCHOLY-Gloomy,Somber, Thoughtful, Grave..Extremely clever, Extremely Creative, Artistic, Perfectionist, Prone to Mood Swing..(Most Great Artists fall into this Category-Leonardo Da' Vinci, Michael Angelo..and probably Whitney Houston cry cry )
SANGUINE-Confidently Optimistic,Extremely Extroversive(if there's anything like that) Carefree, Careless, unworried, Happy-Go-lucky, Hilarious..Examples:Yuzedo, Idowuogbo, lipsrsealed 190, Truckpusher(based on their E-behaviors )
Phlegmatic-Undemonstrative,extremely Introversive, Emotionless, Secretive, day-dreamy..prefer being spectators to being in the main action(although might perform better if coerced into action), very stubborn without hint(for example, my dad might try to force me to church, I might tell him "OK" in a very gentle and mild way but would end up not going) embarassed

A person cannot be all melancholic. You may be a type that combine melancholy and the sanguine. There are twelve temperamental blends---
1. SanChlor (sangine60% choleric40%)
2. SanMel (meaning sanguine is more prominent in such a person than melancholy)
3. SanPhleg
4. ChlorSan (more of being a choleric)
5. ChlorMel
6. ChlorPhleg
7. MelSan
8. MelChlor
9. MelPhleg
10. PlegSan
11. PhlegChlor
12. PhlegMel.
But i choose to shun this stuff because it tends to bring me to behaving in certain ways just because i believe im a melancholy.
That means if im not bold and firm i'll have to excuse myself by saying im only sanguine...
