4 Personality Types - Which One Are You?

Here's something fun to do. I did this once in a bible class. We figured out what our personality types were. It can help to show us our strengths and also our weaknesses so we can be more aware of them. It can also help us to understand others better once we figure out what their personality trait it.

There are different personality tests out there that you can take. This is the one I did. It's 4 personality types;

The four temperament types
Each of the four types of humours corresponded to a different personality type. Some people are a combination of more than one. For example: Mel-Chlor, Chlor-San, etc. with one personality trait tending to be more the dominant one.  See which one you are and post it here!

Sanguine
The Sanguine temperament personality is fairly extroverted. People of a sanguine temperament tend to enjoy social gatherings and making new friends. They tend to be creative and often day dream. However, some alone time is crucial for those of this temperament. Sanguine can also mean very sensitive, compassionate and thoughtful. Sanguine personalities generally struggle with following tasks all the way through, are chronically late, and tend to be forgetful and sometimes a little sarcastic. Often, when pursuing a new hobby, interest is lost quickly--when it ceases to be engaging or fun.

Choleric
A person who is choleric is a doer. They have a lot of ambition, energy, and passion, and try to instill it in others. They can dominate people of other temperaments, especially phlegmatic types. Many great charismatic military and political figures were cholerics.

Melancholic
A person who is a thoughtful ponderer has a melancholic disposition. Often very kind and considerate, melancholics can be highly creative – as in poetry and art - and can become occupied with the tragedy and cruelty in the world. A melancholic is also often a perfectionist. They are often self-reliant and independent.

Phlegmatic
Phlegmatics tend to be self-content and kind. They can be very accepting and affectionate. They may be very receptive and shy and often prefer stability to uncertainty and change. They are very consistent, relaxed, rational, curious, and observant, making them good administrators and diplomats. Unlike the Sanguine personality, they may be more dependable.

Choleric tinged with sanguine, I think. Actually a little bit of all of them apply. Ew!

One thing I've learned with my personality triat is that Melancholics can lean towards depression if they're not careful. If it wasn't for my faith I might struggle with that one more. I tend to be a worrier and the perfectionist part is right too. I think my two oldest kids might be Melancholic too. I see the creativity part in them and they're both pretty deep kids. One bad part of being so deep is we tend to get our feelings hurt more easily and feel other's pain a lot too. Sometimes I wish I didn't feel things so deeply but I guess I am what I am! This is how God made me apparently, lol.

So margy, I do think a lot of that is how we were made but I do think we can improve on the things we don't like to see in us and focus more on our strengths too.
Who said it was so bad to be Choleric? It means you're a natural born leader!

I think the world needs all types. What would we do if we had all Cholerics or all Melancholics? I think we compliment each other. :)

[redheadaussie]

Aw, Sarah, that just means you're a leader! That's a good thing!

[ChitChatNine]

I'm Phlegmatic .. but that word is a tough one to spell and I'd have to scroll back up to see if I have spelled it correctly.
