The doctrine of temperaments was created in ancient Greece. Then four main types of temperament were identified: phlegmatic and melancholic introverts, sanguine and choleric extroverts. Each type has its own specific behavior patterns. It is believed that temperament does not change with age, but it is possible to "neutralize" the pronounced traits of temperament and learn to control your reactions and behavior.
Instructions
Step 1
Choleric is an extroverted temperament (from Latin - facing outward, outward), the most active of the four. Characteristic features: active gesticulation, explosive character, over-emotional reaction to the slightest event. May flare up on a minor occasion. Because of their intemperance, they cause antipathy and rejection in calm and restrained phlegmatic people.
Step 2
Sanguine people are also extroverts, but calmer. They react quite actively to life circumstances, but not so pronounced. They quickly make new acquaintances, start new businesses and … immediately leave everything. Failure to follow through is their main drawback.
Step 3
Phlegmatic people are introverts. Passive, pedantic, thorough, they prefer to keep emotions in themselves and often do not express dissatisfaction with words, although they try to show their offender that he is wrong. He, as a rule, simply does not notice these efforts, as a result, the offended phlegmatic person leaves. All reactions are slow, outwardly manifested weakly. Relevant and reliable.
Step 4
Melancholic is an introvert prone to blues, depression, self-pity. Poorly able to find contact with other people and find support in them. He is characterized by sharp mood swings, isolation, self-delusion.
