What's your temperament?
By: chimto Date: October 20, 2011, 5:32 am
---------------------------------------------------------
In ancient times, people used to believe that their emotional
attitudes are caused by the four humours, or bodily juices.
Blood makes one cheerful and outgoing; phlegm makes one meek and
submissive; black bile makes one cynical and depressive; and
yellow bile makes one forceful and dominant. They believed that
the balance of these four bodily juices determined the emotional
attitude and outlook of a person. Of course, this idea is
scientifically not correct, but the psychological concept behind
it is valid and quite interesting. The four temperaments,
falsely believed to be caused by the four humours, can describe
the emotional attitude of a person to a limited degree of
accuracy.
A Flash game developer named Pseudolonewolf wrote a thorough
analysis on temperaments. He suggested that every person has two
temperaments, one primary and one secondary; the primary
temperament indicates the person's main outlooks, while the
secondary provides additional details. The analysis can be found
here:

The article is very long, so if you don't want to read the
detailed explanations, I'll briefly summarise the four
temperaments here:
Choleric people are dominant. They instinctively want to be in
control, so they will bluntly and forcefully impose their
opinions on others.
Melancholic people are reclusive. They have abnormally high
standards for everything, and they shut themselves off from
others because they think they aren't good enough for
themselves.
Phlegmatic people are submissive. They fear displeasing others,
and they always try to follow orders and seek the path of least
resistance.
Sanguine people are outgoing. They enjoy socialising, and they
require to be in the company of others to function properly.
As I said above, each person has two temperaments, one primary
and one secondary; a single temperament is not enough to
describe someone. Pseudolonewolf has a detailed description for
each of the temperamental blends in his article, about halfway
down the page. There are 12 possible blends.
The purpose of this thread, for those with enough attention span
to read parts of the article, is for you to try to figure out
your temperamental blend and post it here. Keep in mind that
temperaments are not your personalities; they merely describe
your emotional attitudes and outlooks. They are not temporary
moods either; you may suppress or refine some of your
temperamental traits, but your overall temperamental blend does
not change. Also, each person has traits of all four
temperaments inside him/her (I, for example, can clearly feel
all four temperaments in me), but some of these traits are more
pronounced than others. If you think none of the blends fit you,
or all four temperaments fit you, then you might be one of the
four balanced blends (C/P, P/C, M/S, S/M).
I'll start with myself. I'm quite sure that I am a
melancholic/phlegmatic blend, because my overall personality fit
almost everything the article says about that blend. I seek to
analyse and understand everything, I am a perfectionist. I don't
like to demand things from others or just walk all over them,
but I will stubbornly hold my ground for something I believe to
be right.

First of all , i want 2 ask you a question.[move]Are you a
psychologist[/move]?Now don't take me wrong , I always wished 2
become something like that :D.And I know that because they
usually work with stuff like that(I myself heard of the 4
temperaments , but I never knew that one man have two
temperaments).Now that was my question , to answer yours , well:
I describe myself as a guy who is always pushing his opinion.I
like 2 be dominant , but not always.Sometime , I believe it's
better to shut up.But i am persevering and i like 2 be in
control.So my primary temperament will be Choleric.
About the second, well I hate being alone , and I am very
socialist.I like to have as many friends as possible , and I
like 4 them 2 be true friends.So my second temperament should be
Sanguine
I guess my blend should be Choleric/Sanguine.I won't describe
myself as being a Melancholic cause I don't like lists and I am
not a perfectionist.
I am not a Phlegmatic indeed , cause I am not that fearful.Oh,
that is all for now.Hope you will answer my question.

I'm pretty much Sanguine even if I'm sitting front of computer a
lot. Here are some words I picked from this category I think I
am:
[list]
[*]Social
[*]Displays emotions openly
[*]Upbeat
[*]Outgoing
[*]Positive
[*]Extroverted
[*]Chatty
[*]Will try to make people pay attention to them if nobody is
[*]Flighty
[*]Spontaneous
[*]FUN
[*]Likes more than they dislike
[*]Make you feel comfortable when talking with them
[*]Makes friends quickly and often; they can make someone into a
'best friend' in mere hours
[*]Tends to move on rather than blaming anyone
[/list]
Also I'm little Choleric:
[list]
[*]Passionate
[*]Loves winning; likely to humiliate the one they
defeated/dominated
[/list]
Also a little Melancholic sometimes:
[list]
[*]Creative
[*]Sometimes Serious
[*]Sometimes stubborn
[*]Sometimes deep and thoughtful
[/list]
And sometimes Phlegmatic:
[list]
[*]Doesn't like change...
[*]...but will rather change themselves than cause conflict
[*]Trustworthy
[/list]

[quote]Are you a psychologist[/quote]
Nope, I just summarised the article. I didn't write it myself.
[quote]Also I'm little...[/quote]
I know. Everybody has traits of all temperaments. It is easy to
look and traits and think 'yes, that applies to me sometimes',
because, as previously stated, we are all human and all the
things apply to us at some time or another.
Although, I'm pretty sure that you're a S/P or P/S blend.

I'm Choleric, i'm sure of this, and i think i am Melancholic
too, because i really want to be on control because i think i'm
supperior in some aspects, but sometimes i just shut up and wait
to se what it'll be the consequences for those who not listen to
me [-). I'm not kidding at all, it really happens, but you know
i'm not a bad person, so sometimes i think i'm a little
Phlegmatic, you know, i don't try to please anyone, but
sometimes i follow the imposed rules quietly, so i'm a little
submissive. I'm not contradicting myself, but if i don't make
the rules i have to follow other ones.
