Temperament is an innate feature of the human psyche. Knowing what type you belong to, you can explain your own behavior in a given situation, as well as make work on yourself more productive.

Step 1
Working on the theory of temperaments, Hippocrates came to the conclusion that the characteristics of the human psyche depend on the content of four fluids in the body: yellow and black bile, blood and phlegm. Galen continued to develop the doctrine of temperaments and deduced four main types: sanguine, phlegmatic, choleric and melancholic.
Step 2
A sanguine person (from Latin sanguis - blood) is an emotional person who reacts vividly to everything around him. He is easy-going, loves communication, has a good sense of humor and often becomes the soul of the company. You rarely see a sanguine person in a bad mood. You are sanguine if you are addicted to new impressions, positive emotions. You are easily pissed off, but also quickly reassured. Friends call you an optimist, because even in a difficult situation you do not lose your calm and positive attitude. An indirect sign can be considered mimic wrinkles in the mouth, because they appear in those people who often smile.
Step 3
A phlegmatic person (from the Greek phlegma - phlegm) is a calm and slow person. It's hard to piss him off, that's why people say about him “like in a tank”. A phlegmatic person tries to avoid conflict and remains serious in any situation. Such people find it difficult to make changes in their lives, they need time to adapt. You are phlegmatic, if you are modest by nature, do not like to be in the spotlight. When making a decision, you need to weigh the pros and cons, think well. You stay calm if you have to wait and plan your affairs carefully. Phlegmatic is distinguished by uniform speech without vivid emotions and facial expressions, he does not like empty chatter.
Step 4
Choleric (from the Greek. Chole - bile) is the most nervous of temperaments. Such a person easily loses his temper, accepts criticism with difficulty and loves to be the first in everything. The choleric person has a high reaction rate, so he is often irritated by slow people. You are a choleric person if you strive to do everything your own way and do not like to obey others. Emotions are constantly raging in you that are difficult to control. You will not remain silent if you do not like something, and it does not matter that your opinion may provoke a conflict.
Step 5
Melancholic (from the Greek melas chole - black bile) is a vulnerable and withdrawn person. Often he has a delicate taste and developed imagination, so he gravitates towards creative activity. The melancholic often has low self-esteem, has a hard time getting along with people and loves not to be touched by anyone. If you are melancholic, you are shy, insecure, and sentimental. It is easy to offend you. You often have doubts about your own abilities, speak in a low voice and love empathy. If trouble or failure occurs in business, it knocks you out of the rut for a long time.
