So what's your predominant temperament?

Well, you got an idea of what the author is trying to pass across. There are basically four temperaments namely: Sanguine, Choleric, Phlegmatic and Melancholy just as you highlighted. But, to determine which temperament you are, you've gotta know how each of these temperament behaves.

However, I need to stress at this point that, no single individual has one genre of temperament. The least one can have are two - as it also depends on the percentage combination. For instance, Mr 'A' might be a combination of Sanguine and Phlegmatic in 60% and 40% respectively. What the above utterance means is that, Mr 'A' is more of an extroverted being than reserved. Though, the introverted aspect of Mr 'A' cannot be overshadowed. Thus, sometimes, Mr 'A' might appear bashful.

Now, let me succinctly introduce you to these temperaments so as to work out yours. Here they come:

1. Sanguine (the talker): relational and extroverted people.
2. Choleric (the doer): organizational and extroverted kinds of people.
3. Phlegmatic (the watcher): relational and introverted people.
4. Melancholy (the thinker): thoughtful and introverted nodes of beings.

I think with these little tips, you got yours discovered. Did you?!

Lastly, was I able to answer you question? Thanks.
Good morning. I think I do have a in idea which category I'm in.

Not really, I always see his -not sure the writer is a he- novels around. I usually think his novels are based on Romance, and I dislike such novels, I don't learn anything from them.

Watchman Nee and his very deep Christian books. I've also read quite a few. The Spiritual Man! I've got all the three volumes in hard, binded copies! His book's are just too deep. He's got an excellent mind shaaa
I haven't read spiritual man yet, but I heard it's quite deep. His bible expositions were truly illuminating.

That book will give you a brand new definition of spirituality. Either you grow deep or you will drop it. Just too deep. He's got a piercing ability to lay simple very complex matters.

Like I said ab initio, Sidney Sheldon is a god. Read his books and be blessed with knowledge.

Ok, are his books based on Romance? What does he write about? Crime, Romance, or Politics? I think I have a few of his novels on the laptop.

Bleep romance! Romance is a child's play.

Sidney is all encompassing. He mixes sections up to come up with masterpieces. He doesn't write romance!

Do teaching and learning mean the same thing? Why is education referred to as ONGOING?
education is an ongoing process because it is applied to all our day 2 day activities not only in the classroom. As we move on in life, we learn from people's ideals(learning) and we also try 2 impact into people our own ideals(teaching).

Presently, I'm reading myself. I actually took the battle to the gate since middle of last 2 yrs realizing how much, knowing myself surpasses all knowledge acquirable.

Right now I'm breaking all ice - cracking my pinea body out of dormancy
Knowing oneself is the best discovery that can happen to anyone. From there starts the journey to other discoveries.

what r your tots on these books, only watched d movies
I've seen the movies too and they didn't have as much an effect on me as the books did. The books r much more detailed and explicit than the movies. If u have 2 read it,dont take it 2 hrt cos if ur christian faith is not strong,it'll be shaken.

That means you're most likely very thoughtful though you can still be extroverted. Am I right?

I'm more of the sanguine. I'm close to the Biblical Apostle Peter.
