Explanation of Temperaments:

Sanguine

People with a sanguine temperament are enthusiastic, active, and social. They are extroverts who enjoy meeting new people and being part of a crowd. They find it easy to socialize and often make new friends by virtue of being social, outgoing, and charismatic. Sanguine personalities often have a hard time doing nothing and may be prone to seek out risky activities as a way of keeping themselves stimulated.

Choleric

Choleric individuals are extroverted, but lack the carefree attitude of the sanguine temperament. As a result, they are determined, independent, decisive, and goal-oriented. Fact-based and logical, they typically enjoy being in charge since they have many leadership qualities as well as ambition. On the other hand, they are also disagreeable and may be prone to anger when things do not go their way.

Phlegmatic

Phlegmatic individuals are peaceful, quiet, and easy-going. They are sympathetic and care about others, yet try to hide or downplay their emotions, seeking instead to influence others through gentleness and cooperation. They are good at resolving conflicts and problems by way of making sensible compromises but, on the other hand, they may also be too self-sacrificing or unambitious in the name of avoiding conflict.

Melancholic

People with a melancholic temperament are intense, serious, and deep. They are sensitive and capable of deep emotion. They have a well-developed eye for the tragic or sad side of things, and may easily be disappointed by the coarseness of the outer world. As a result, they tend to keep to themselves, or only really open up around a select few individuals with whom they can exchange feelings and ideas.
