Incredible Facts

Temperament type largely determines who we are, what we do, and why we do it.

The idea of ​​​​the existence of 4 temperaments: choleric, melancholic, sanguine and phlegmatic was invented 2000 years ago by Hippocrates. He argued that differences in personality are due to the fluid that prevails in the human body.

Choleric - yellow bile of the liver

Sanguine - blood of the heart

Melancholic - black bile of the kidneys

Phlegmatic - phlegm of the lungs

Thus, the predominance of one of the fluids made a person energetic and optimistic (sanguine), silent and sad (melancholic), passionate (choleric) or calm (phlegmatic).

Temperament and character

Temperament should not be confused with personality. Personality is a combination of many human factors, while temperament is only one of the factors, although a very important one.

It is a need that motivates us to behave according to our natural innate inclinations. If it is not satisfied, the person will not feel good or function effectively.

Again, for example, take the temperament of a sanguine person. Being in the company of people and communication are his needs. If such a person does not communicate regularly and is not in a circle of people, he begins to worry and suffer from low self-esteem.

Each type of temperament has its own needs: the choleric needs quick results, the sanguine needs to be in the company of people, the phlegmatic needs a stable environment, and the melancholic needs a detailed plan.

Result:

Now count the number of answers "a", "b", "c" and "d".

Multiply each number you get by 5 to get the percentage.

For example, you got 7 "a" answers, 10 "b" answers, 2 "c" answers and 1 "d" answer.

"a" \u003d 7 * 5 \u003d 35%

"b"=10*5=50%

"at"=2*5=10%

"g"=1*5=5%

Answers correspond to the following types of temperament:

"a" - choleric

"b" - sanguine

"in" - phlegmatic

"g" - melancholic

Thus, in the example, we have obtained that a person is dominated by the sanguine temperament type ("b" = 50%), the secondary type of temperament is choleric ("a" = 35%), and then phlegmatic in descending order ("c" = 10 %) and melancholic ("g" \u003d 5%)

40% or more, this type of temperament is dominant in you.

If some type of temperament typedfrom 30 to 39%, this type of temperament is pronounced in you.

If some type of temperament typedfrom 20 to 29%, this type of temperament is moderately expressed in you .

If some type of temperament typedfrom 10 to 19%, this type of temperament is weakly expressed in you .

Temperament Type Sanguine

Sanguine - very sociable person who likes to be around people. Of all the temperaments, the sanguine is the easiest to communicate with. They bring energy and breathe life into any company with their mere presence. Their cheerfulness and humor illuminate everything around.

This is the optimistic type of person who believes that life is a wonderful, fun-filled experience and should be lived to the fullest.

Inactivity causes them stress because they live in a fast and active rhythm. This is the most impulsive of all temperaments.

The sanguine person excels in matters of connection and communication, but this is the least disciplined and organized type of all temperaments.

He is open, very enthusiastic, friendly, understands the feelings of other people, but can be rude and inattentive.

Sanguine can hardly be called a devoted friend, as he does not like to bind himself with obligations, but simply wants to have fun. They live as if they have no past or future. Rarely admit their mistakes, but tend to exaggerate in order to look more successful in the eyes of others.

Since this type of temperament loves pleasure many sanguine people are prone to various kinds of addictions, as well as overeating.

A person with this type of temperament is ready to take on difficult tasks and complete a task or project while his ego is fueled. However, at the slightest hint of their shortcomings, they quit.

They are easily upset if they are not appreciated and not assured of love. They are very demanding in terms of love and affection, tormented by feelings of jealousy if the attention that belongs to them goes to someone else.

Cholerics rarely listen to the advice of others. They want to have complete control over themselves and others. They are of the opinion that they know what is best and what is acceptable behavior for others.

They have serious anger management problems. Cholerics rarely express such emotions as love, tenderness, friendliness and empathy, but this can be compensated by a secondary type of temperament. In addition, on the part of other people, they consider these emotions inappropriate and useless.

Cholerics believe that no one can do a task better than them. They tend to overwork themselves and can bring themselves to nervous exhaustion.. To achieve their goal, they are ready to do anything.

Unlike melancholics, who see the shortcomings of the project before taking any action, choleric people do not see any pitfalls. The choleric will move regardless of the cost that is required, because for him the end justifies the means.

To an observer, the phlegmatic seems slow and stubborn. People of a phlegmatic temperament go through life slowly, slowly, spending as little energy as possible.

It is difficult to say whether the phlegmatic really lacks energy, or whether they simply refuse to use it.

They are task-oriented and very efficient when the job requires precision, thoroughness and a minimum of energy.

Perhaps the world will never recognize those brilliant thoughts, great books and works of art that were consigned to oblivion by the phlegmatic. They rarely use their ideas and talents, as their implementation requires a lot of effort.

The phlegmatic sits and watches how representatives of other types of temperament make mistakes and notes what needs to be changed in this world so that everything is right. They perfectly catch cases of any injustice, but very rarely take any action against this injustice. They can inspire others to action, but they personally will not participate in this.

Phlegmatic is the only type of temperament that a choleric person cannot control (which terribly infuriates a choleric person).

This is the most stable temperament. He can also be called the most stubborn when it comes to change. Since he tends not to interfere in other people's affairs, he can be a good mediator and diplomat. Peace at any cost is the motto of the phlegmatic.

The phlegmatic is not afraid of being rejected and can easily cope with a cold and hostile person. They are calm, carefree, not subject to a surge of emotions, anger, feelings of bitterness, like other types of temperaments. Their restraint and coldness can sometimes hurt loved ones.

Melancholics need to learn how to communicate their emotions as they try to shield and protect themselves emotionally. Often they demonstrate their love by loyalty and responsibility towards another person.

If the melancholic makes full use of his strengths, he is capable of great and wonderful accomplishments. When they give in to their weaknesses, they are prone to self-destructive behavior.

A pure melancholic is an introvert and a loner. Melancholics are goal-oriented, they are perfectionists and often set the bar too high for themselves and those around them.

They can be called very devoted to his friends and family. If the melancholic has made a promise, he will keep it. These are creative people, but prone to deep depression. They can also be called secretive and quite serious.

They are independent, do not respond to promises and rewards, or to the threat of punishment. They are rarely satisfied with the result, because they feel that they can do it better. They have a realistic view of what is happening. Melancholics know their limits and rarely take on more than they can handle.

Melancholic temperament most self-centered. Due to their sensitive nature, they are easily offended or offended. They may be suspicious and come to unfounded conclusions. They tend to be introspective to the point where it can lead to inactivity and low energy, among other problems.
