We all have personality traits
unique to us. By the end of this post, you'll get to know four of
the ten human temperaments
and the category you belong through identifying your
qualities.

A lot of people look at themselves and say, "How I wish I was born differently." I used to fall in this
category of self esteem
'crushers'. Do you? It took a lot of self reassuring and examination for me to realize that I can not
change who I am, but I can make the best out of it. How?

Psychologists have really done a great job studying the human
being in order to know why we act the way we do. The result of their research is what we now know as 'temperaments'. In no particular order, I'll be introducing you to four of the ten
temperaments and you'll get to know what category you belong.

1. The Sanguine
I love these guys because it's never a dull moment around
them. Their mere presence seems to brighten things up.
Some of their many qualities include: extroverts, optimistic,
appealing and cheerful personality, sincere, creative,
good sense of humor,
sympathetic and have really good memory. If you've got that
cheerful smile and attractive personality, this is where you
belong.

2. The Choleric
If it's not done their way, then it's not perfect. Some of their
qualities include: extroverts, go- getters, optimistic, born leaders, dynamic and active, confident,
love productivity, can be violent, strong-willed, efficient in
emergencies and goal oriented.
It's really easy for people in this
category to make enemies.

The Sanguine and Choleric are both extroverts having a lot of other qualities in common. Now
let's take a look at the
temperaments of the introvert.

3. The Melancholic
These guys see the world from a perspective different from that of the previous temperaments. The
Melancholic are introverts, deep thinkers, strict, analytical, principled, sensitive to art or
music, perfectionists, faithful and can be pessimistic some times.
I'm so sure I fall in this category. If you love analyzing things that sometimes don't need analysis, then you're with me.

4. The Phlegmatic
If you want someone who'll say yes to practically everything you say, then have a Phlegmatic as a friend. They are cool, calm, easy going, patient, kind, introverts, good listeners, sympathetic,
peaceful, have a dry sense of humor and always find the easy
way out.

Having one personality doesn't
mean that you're glued to it all your life. It's possible to develop qualities in other desired personalities.
Developing these
qualities gives you a cool personality mix. You can have more than one temperament in
different proportions but you can't have all. That'll make you a
freak. So, whatever qualities you choose to acquire, make sure
they're in line with your goals so that you can make the most of
them.

Hhmmm do the inhabitants of the world full of now 7 billion people only possess four personalities?. . . Yet you open with "We all have personality traits
unique to us."

Is that not akin to people using Horoscopes to determine their destinies?

So 7 billion people share 4 personalities and 12 destinies?

Is that even possible? The world is small but it can't be that small

I would hope that I do not share a personality with 1 750 000 000 people and a destiny with a further 583 333 333 people because that would really suck

And I suppose now using the criteria of the 4 humors, Larrywiz you may be close in being able to determine which personality I apparently embody


P.S. "By the end of this post, you'll get to know four of the ten human temperaments". . . so what are the other remaining 6 temperaments?
