The Four Personality Types (Temperaments)

Updated on
four personality theories

One of the major challenges in the world today is “self-identity”. Many persons fail to understand who they really are and why they behave the way they do. In this article, you will know exactly the kind of person you are.

A person’s personality or temperament is his/her distinctive qualities. It is the physical and emotional makeup of that human being. A person’s personality tends to condition him/her to respond in various life situations.

In other words, you live or act in a particular way, different from others. This is traced to the fact that your temperament is not the same as theirs. Now, Let’s take a look at the four personality theories below.

Sanguine Personality

These guys (Sanguine) are very common. They are lively and fun-seeking; there is no dull moment with them. They comfortably put you in the friend zone. One thing I like about them is that they are sociable and charismatic.

This personality struggle with following tasks all the way through. The ten signs that you have the Sanguine Personality are:

  1. You are sociable and charismatic.
  2. You love making friends in school.
  3. Most times, you often daydream
  4. You are creative but talk too much.
  5. You forget things easily
  6. Interest leaves you when it is no longer fun.
  7. You are somehow warmhearted and optimistic.
  8. You like enjoyment too much.
  9. Very popular in class.
  10. You are a gossip.

Choleric Temperament

We just introduced the Sanguine personality. Now, let’s welcome the choleric guy on board. These guys do not take nonsense.

One of them is my aunt. She is always boiling, even at 20 degree Celsius. This is why I hardly call her. One thing I like about these guys is that they eventually become good leaders. Eight sings that you have the Choleric Personality are:

  1. You always use the word “I don’t take nonsense”.
  2. You have fought someone before.
  3. Forcing others to do something is your hobby.
  4. You have aggression.
  5. You have passion, coupled with energy.
  6. Always angry-You nor get joy.
  7. You want to be the biggest boss.
  8. You are serious with your task.

Phlegmatic Personality

I want to be like this guy. Every girl likes him. You will hear girls say things like “He is gentle, calm, and cannot even hurt a fly”. On the other hand, guys will say “that girl is observant and forgiven”. The guy/girl they have been talking about is the Phlegmatic personality. Qualities of this personality are:

  1. They are calm and not easily upset.
  2. Quiet and relaxed.
  3. They will just be observing you in 3D.
  4. One thing I don’t like, many of them are not serious.
  5. The phlegmatic temperament is traditionally associated with water. They do not have enemies.
  6. People with this temperament may be inward and private, thoughtful, reasonable and caring.
  7. They tend to have a rich inner life, seek a quiet, peaceful atmosphere, and be content with themselves.
  8. They tolerate what they should terminate.

Melancholic Temperament

Here is the last guy on my list. This guy is fundamentally introverted and thoughtful. They are dedicated to their own conviction. Without wasting much time, let’s see how we can identify these guys. The top 8 features of Melancholic Personality are:

  1. You are good at art and poetry.
  2. Very good follower.
  3. You are self-reliant.
  4. You are very spiritual
  5. Always suspecting people.
  6. You are serious.
  7. Also, you are very thoughtful
  8. You do things with care.
