Your character is a
mix of four basic
personality types:

sanguine,
phlegmatic,
choleric and
melancholic.

SANGUINE
The Sanguine personality is affected by
chemical called dopamine, which makes these
people intensely curious and creative. Their
curiosity can be expressed in their love for
reading and different kinds of knowledge and
they usually possess high amounts of energy,
so they may seem restless and spontaneous.

Sanguine people are usually more creative
than other types, be it poetry, music, theater,
art, business or cooking. Sadly, they are also
most susceptible to chemical imbalances,
addictions and mood disorders.
This type of personality loves the life of luxury;
they like to impress others by their expensive
clothes, designer accessories and sport cars. If
choleric people thrive on money-making
process itself, sanguine people know how to
enjoy money, luxury and comfort like nobody
else. These people are impulsive and they will often
find it difficult to control their cravings and
may struggle with weight. More than any other
types of personality, this temperament is more
susceptible to smoking, alcohol, drugs,
gambling and risky sex. Their spontaneity
reflects in last-minute plans and moments of
intellectual discovery. The Sanguine personalities out there are willing
to take risks for the sake of pursuit of their
numerous interests. These people feel bored if
they are not absorbed by something intriguing
and their constant cravings for adventure and
novelty are the major motivating force behind
their actions, decisions and choices.

PHELGMATIC
These people are mainly defined by their social
skills, such as their ability to express
themselves and read other people face
expressions and body language. They do well
at connecting facts and seeing “the big
picture”.
They are nurturing, sympathetic, agreeable
and emotionally expressive. Some of these
character traits are linked with estrogen that is
present in both men and women.
Physically you can recognize them by their
smooth skin, full lips, round faces and small
noses. Their favorite words are “passion”,
“passionate”, “sensitive” and “sweet

These people are imaginative – they like to
think abstractly about the things that only can
be imagined. For example, they will try to read
your body language and tell you what you
were thinking from your half smile.
-
The Phlegmatic person will want to know
other people’s deepest feelings and strive to
build intimate attachments with about
everyone in their lives. They are interested in
cooperation and interpersonal harmony, and
this is why they preserve their family ties and
friendships. When there is a conflict, they seek
to agree, to satisfy the needs of everyone
involved.
– These men and women are very empathetic
and compassionate. They try to understand
what the other person is thinking and feeling,
then to respond accordingly, which allows
them to connect with that person. Moreover,
people with phlegmatic personality are
agreeable.
– They could be described as cooperative,
considerate, charitable, sympathetic, trusting
and warm. They like to express their feelings,
sometimes dramatizing their experience
(another evidence of high estrogen activity).
– Phlegmatic men and women seek to
contribute to society at large. They strive to
fight cancer, donate to orphanages and help
the poor and more than that, they also strive
to a greater self-knowledge which they see as a must

On the negative side, people with a phlegmatic
personality can be indecisive, unable to focus
on important details while ruminating on the
bigger picture. Their talkativeness can be
annoying and because they seek for a
connection, they may appear needy,
constantly demanding reassurance.
While trying to understand you, they also may
assume that you see and feel the world the
same way they do. They might take criticisms
as an insult and pout for days, weeks and
months and finally, they are very prone to
depression.

CHOLERIC
This type is associated with testosterone, which
is also present in men and women, but more so
in men. These people are direct, focused,
tough, analytical, logical and strategic. They
have a great deal of courage and like to
compete, often against each other. They often
have square jaws, high cheekbones and high
foreheads and love to use words like “intellect”,
“ambition” and “challenge
These people are
very practical and they make for naturally
gifted businessmen. Constantly looking for
opportunities and always working on
themselves, they build successful businesses
that thrive and benefit others.
This doesn’t mean that these people are
greedy for money, by any means! From their
perspective, work is considered to be fun.
However, they never do well in subordinate
position – they are all about independence,
financially and otherwise.

Another special quality of choleric people is
their ability to systematize everything. This is
the reason why they usually enjoy math and
other “exact sciences” – they actually have
hard time trying to understand why the
approaches they use for solving a
mathematical problem cannot be used when
solving relationship issues.
Testosterone also contributes to their spatial
skills. This can be reflected in musical and
athletic ability, particularly sports that require
spatial skills, such as soccer.

As it was mentioned earlier, people with
choleric personality type are good at math,
geometry and engineering, which often affects
their professional choices. They are goal-
oriented and have a wonderful focus as they
work. Their concentration is deep and narrow
and this is why, when they are busy with
something they are simply not capable to
notice other things that are going on around
them. You could think of them as kind of “one-
trick-ponies”. If a Choleric man is absorbed by
something, do not even bother to get his
attention because all you are likely to get is
disappointment. Don’t blame the poor guy
though; he has physical and chemical reasons
why he can’t attend to you now. It’s nothing
personal – it’s just the way they are.
Women of this type are very rare, but strangely
enough are very popular people that, quite
simply, have very different ways of dealing with
issues. They can and do frustrate their partners
by being unavailable, but this is exactly what
makes them so desirable. They wouldn’t make
mistake most other women do, for example,
when they smother their partners with love
eventually repelling them.

This type of people is very analytical and
logical. These people are kings and queens of
figuring out things. High testosterone activity
in these men and women makes them
straightforward and generally, they don’t strive
to be polite, respectful or friendly – they do
stuff according to what is convenient to them
and, most importantly, is in line with their
goals. Wasting words and repeating the
obvious seem pointless to them. Forcing them
to do so is a surefire way to annoy them!
Choleric personality is characterized by
pragmatism and it is typical to them to take
their decisions fast and act immediately. Unlike
many others, they don’t have a problem when
offered multiple choices.

Extremely tough-minded, they act in
accordance with their motto: “Talk is cheap”.
This means that they rather prefer to prove
themselves with action and put the talk aside.
You will hardly hear a choleric going on and on
about what he is planning to do, like it often
happens with sanguine-phlegmatic. This kind
of behavior is extremely annoying and
embarrassing him and although you might
think he is boring and has nothing to share,
the fact of the matter is he is often the one
who has most fun (alone). Years pass and you
may be amazed at what he has achieved.
It is no wonder why they are how they are –
they have everything they need to excel in
business, sports or science. They are simply
naturally predisposed to set the goals then
reach them and believing in reasoning, logic
and investigation. They are skeptical and do
not trust easily. They need to investigate the
facts on their own, then analyze them.
Testosterone Rules the Roost
Choleric personality has great problem-solving
skills – as long as they are satisfied with
reasoning behind their strategy, they act bold
and self-confident. Both confidence and daring
arise from high testosterone activity and they
have absolutely no problem with tolerating
long hours of work, isolation and discomfort if
only this takes them to their goal. Highly
independent people with not much respect to
diplomas and other credentials, they are armed
with their autonomy and independence and
are likely to be highly competitive, almost to
the point of being incredibly aggressive (which
is another sign of testosterone activity).
People with this temperament are determined
to succeed and despite the fact that they set
the high standards and work long and hard,
they are rarely satisfied with the time and
effort they spent on their projects. They just
keep on raising the mark to the point where
many of them live with the constant worry that
one day, they will simply fail. Once they
disappoint themselves, they will blame
themselves ruthlessly. However, they never
give up their attempts to succeed and
continue striving to the goals. They love
knowledge and look for intelligent partners,
otherwise, they generally avoid socializing
unless they are interested in the conversation,
which of course should be somehow related to
their goals.
This temperamental makeup is typically
characterized by detachment from their
feelings, because they admire emotional
control. They rather strive to be logic,
analytical, competent, just and convincing.
These people usually appear cool and collected.
They don’t smile much and avoid eye contact
and despite their best efforts at total self-
control, they might “lose it” sometimes and
explode into rage.

MELANCHOLICS – patient, Orderly

Melancholics tend to be calm, loyal and orderly,
just as their personality name sounds. They are
cautious and conventional. These men and
women inherited genes in the serotonin system
and their favorite words are “family”, “loyal”,
“respect”, “caring”, “values” and “moral

Men and women with melancholic personality
share many traits – they tend to be loyal to
their family and friends and extremely careful.
Respectability and moral issues are particularly
important to them and they will often love to
follow typical “norms” of society and family
traditionMelancholic personality traits are associated
with serotonin, which suppresses aggressive
tendencies. This explains why melancholic
people are calm and self-confident, deeply
attached to their family and community and
loyal. As it was mentioned, they are very
orderly and don’t like unpredictability – they
enjoy making definite plans and keeping
schedules. They love routines, which they find
relaxing and this should not come as a big
surprise – any repetitive motion increases
serotonin levels. It is relaxing in its nature, but
nobody enjoys it more than a melancholics

These people pay attention to details:
They remember special dates,
anniversaries and events
They will remember details about their
neighbors and colleagues.

Melancholics need to be orderly even in their
speech – they will express themselves
precisely, accurately, providing all of the
relevant information and if you interrupt them
or ask them a question they will think you are
not interested in what they are talking about.
Unlike the Sanguine personality, they hate
distractions and get frustrated by them. If you
want to impress them don’t talk about your big
ideas, instead give them precise information
and stick to details. Their need for order is
expressed even in their jokes – they won’t be a
fan of nonsense humor or unresolved humor,
their jokes reflect order, predictability and
closure
People with a melancholic personality are not only orderly, they are also accurate. They are process-oriented and like to pursue their goals
in a precise straightforward way. Before they
start a specific task, they need to organize
themselves and break down the task into the
manageable steps. The average melancholic is not the kind of person that will work well under the pressure and to be comfortable in a given situation, they need to be in a clear-cut place where the details are known and proven.
Patience is a Virtue!
Melancholics are persistent and patient. They
don’t get bored easily and excel at tasks that
require attention and repetition. Interestingly,
repetitive actions raise levels of serotonin even
more and this is why some people repeat one
and the same action over and over when they
are anxious, like checking to see if the door is
closed well or if they turned off the stove or re- checking their suitcase before going to the vacation. Sadly a misbalanced melancholic is most susceptible to OCD (obsessive-compulsive
disorder), where a person engages
meaningless rituals, like counting, washing
hands or excessive cleaning in order to prevent
some disaster he imagines. Some of them may
suffer in a less obvious way, but probably the
hardest – ruminating over and over about the
same thought and rethinking it hundreds, if
not thousands of times each and every day.

On the negative side, people with a
melancholic personality may become close-
minded, dogmatic and stubborn. They also
tend to turn to pessimism which may turn into
fatalism, believing that nothing will ever
change for better. Sometimes they get overly
critical, judgmental, expressing their own
moral superiority.
Their frugality may turn into stinginess. As well
as this, some melancholics can become fixated
on the past, where they ruminate for hours
how their life would be if they did or choose
something else in the past. Also they may have
difficulty with stopping what they are doing, so
hoarding is often a very common problem.

Definitely MEL san with a dash of chlor

Blahblahblah i have gotten tired of this personality-ish. Tim lahaye(Or whatever is his name) didn't give an indebt analysis of the temperaments and their 12 blends. The best i have read so far is the Myers briggs(MBTI) and Keirsey type indicator. Even with that humans are just too complex to be boxed into "specific" temperaments. The complexity is so much that they have even added a new temperament called the "Supine" apart from these four you mention. They will keep on adding and adding and adding....Tim lahaye even mentioned in one of his books that one can have a blend of up to three or even four temperament lol. Stop trying to box yourself or others into categories, unless it can reduced the price of garri . The most basic thing to know is that they are Introverts and Extroverts among humans period!

If u check well, u'll see DAT u belong to d four groups, but if u check very well u'll see DAT u' actually belong to none
