Your temperament

[i'm a bubble. pop me.]

I'm wondering which of the four classic temperaments suits you the best. Here are the descriptions:

Choleric

Spoiler:

If you are a choleric, you are a dynamic, self-motivated leader who can set your sights on a target and relentlessly pursue it until success is achieved. You are a strong-willed individual who makes decisions quickly and decisively, and who readily and easily grasps difficult concepts and strategies. Learning comes quickly to you, and you like to take action immediately. You think logically and pragmatically, and are sometimes accused of "rolling over" people once you have set a plan in motion. You do not readily reveal deep emotions—except anger. Cholerics are often accused of being stubborn, domineering, and dictatorial. You demand loyalty from your friends, and thrive when you are in control. Franklin Delano Roosevelt was a choleric president: "There is nothing I love as much as a good fight," he famously said.

Melancholic

Spoiler:

Time alone is vital for this reflective, introspective temperament. A perfectionist at home and on the job, the melancholic is likely the one with the perfectly organized closet and kitchen, the tidy desk-top, and the painstaking attention to religious observances, sometimes to the point of scrupulosity. A melancholic longs for a deep soul mate, yet when he is around people, he often finds himself mistrustful and disappointed. Sensing this criticism, others will keep their distance—thus further entrenching the melancholic in his solitary life. In relationships, the melancholic tends to be slow to initiate, cautious, hyper-critical, and pessimistic--yet, once committed, they are unwaveringly loyal and self-sacrificing.

Phlegmatic

Spoiler:

If you are a phlegmatic, you most likely possess a dry wit and a steady, amicable demeanor. You are dependable, polite, and even-tempered. You feel more comfortable in a small group of friends or even spending a quiet evening relaxing at home. You are never flashy, belligerent, or self-aggrandizing. You would rather take the blame (even unjustly) than stir up controversy or pick a fight. On the job, you seek neither power nor the limelight, but work steadily, patiently, and methodically. You are reliable, patient, and methodical on the job, and can work alone, or with the most difficult of personalities. You will prefer job security, working within a structured organization, but can also be a leader of great character and service. Former U.S. president Calvin Coolidge, for example, was known for being a man of few words, conservatism in maintaining the status quo, and a propensity for "effectively doing nothing." Once at a dinner party, a young woman bet him that she could make him say three words. Coolidge dryly replied, "You lose."

Sanguine

Spoiler:

If you are a sanguine, then you are most likely the life of the party. You are funny and relish the limelight. You are affectionate, enjoy social activities, and make friends easily. You are imaginative and creative, and are often the one who enthusiastically promotes new ideas on the job. People call you vivacious, generous, and light-hearted. You wear your emotions on your sleeve, but you are always quick to "forgive and forget." You probably struggle with follow-through, are chronically late, and tend to be forgetful. As quickly as you discover a new hobby or pursuit, you can also lose interest--when it ceases to be engaging or fun.

If you don't fit in one particular description you can tell us what ''mix'' suits you the most^^

 

[Evilyn]

The first one, choleric or whatever it was. Although, I don't really demand loyalty from my friends.

 

[Candy Christina]

I'm a mix between phlegmatic and sanguine. I am very lively and social but I do need my alone time too.

 

[Candace]

I am VERY Choleric. Self-absorbed, easy to scream at the top of my lungs and not afraid of a fight

I'm the kind of person who lets noone walk over me without getting a punishment, I guess. At times, it gets troublesome. I'm not one who gets angry about trifling matters... I do try to keep it on the cool side like "Oh it's fine. I'm whatever. Hahaha.", but eventually (and usually) the lid goes off like a coke filled with mentos, and I have been known to throw things, hurt people and scream so loudly that I lost my voice

I don't think I have anger issues. I'm just too proud and full of myself. And I feel so relieved whenever I have a fight, be it unresolved or not

[Sebastien Loeb]

I am a really pessimistic person, but at the same time very sanguine, therefore I vote quest' last option.

 

[True Reign]

Choleric.

I was always good as a leader espeically my role in leading my dad and his friend through World of Warcraft the first time playing.

 

[Idiot!]

Choleric and melancholic fit me very well.

 

[ErickaVolt]

I am melancholic since I am always lonely. But I'm not a perfectionist.

 

[Mooshykris]

I am definatally Choleric. The description you gave for it 100% describes me.

I show some signs of Melancholic as well.

I'm a mix of those 2.

~Mooshykris

 

[moments.]

I am a combination of Phlegmatic and Melancholic. Reading both of those made me see myself actually, but I am probably more melancholic, there are some bits and bobs that are from phlegmatic.

 

[Yu_&_Rei]

I'm a mix of the 2nd of 3rd. But I do like to be flashy sometimes

 

[Melody]

I'm a mix of Choleric and Phlegmatic.
I can be a dynamic leader at times when I need to be, but most of the time I:

• "Possess a dry wit and a steady, amicable demeanor."
• am "dependable, polite, and even-tempered"
• and "seek neither power nor the limelight, but work steadily, patiently, and methodically."

Though on occasion my Choleric side will flare up, especially in times where I'm upset or stressed.
I usually do "think logically and pragmatically, and are sometimes accused of "rolling over" people once have set a plan in motion."

It's a bit frustrating at times when people do accuse me of being that way but I'm used to it.

 

[mulch_ar]

Choleric and Phlegmatic. But more to Choleric

 

[processr]

I'm somewhere between melancholic and phlegmatic, I think.

 

[Rockéttes]

I'd say I'm more of Sanguine than anything. It's hard to judge your own personality though, so I could be wrong.

 

[♣Gawain♣]

Melancholic. I usually take things slowly but surely. I hardly got any crushes. O.O

 

[Azonic]

I be a mixture of Phlegmatic and Sanguine. :D

 

[helix]

Phlegmatic. It may seem sort of strange, but actually, the entire description seemed to fit me perfectly well xD;;

 

[RaikaCastillo]

For the most part, I'm somewhere between phlegmatic and choleric. Mostly phlegmatic though and I switch to choleric when under extreme pressure.

 

[Spinor]

I am pretty much Choleric because I am nothing like the others and I am pretty much that kind of demanding person that gets angry easily. But that's just in real life.
