You may well have traits of various types, in one situation and with some people showing, for example, a sanguine temperament, and in another, surrounded by strangers, tending to phlegmatic.
Step 2
Sanguine temperament. The defining quality of such people is that they easily adapt to change. They keep their emotions under control, love new things, their mood often changes, but most of the time they are cheerful and cheerful. The lack of a sanguine temperament is that a person is quickly distracted, loses interest if novelty disappears. You can identify a sanguine person in a crowd by expressive gestures and good posture. Such a person usually speaks clearly and rather loudly. The decisions of sanguine people are not always weighed and considered. It is best for such a person to constantly take on new projects that will not allow him to relax and get bogged down in a routine.
Step 3
Choleric people are easily excitable and quick-tempered people. They have strong feelings, give themselves to them with ardor and are very worried about them. Usually they cannot assess their strengths, therefore, even if they grab onto the case with the greatest enthusiasm, they soon lose strength, become irritable due to exhaustion. They speak hastily and inconsistently, their facial expressions are very expressive. Choleric people even look a little nervous, gesticulate, fiddle with something in their hands. Despite the fact that they seem unbalanced, they are very hardworking and enterprising people. They know how to work and overcome difficulties. For a choleric person, the main thing is to find a person who can control his work and will not allow him to reach exhaustion.

They do not easily converge with new people or change their line of behavior, they cannot always boldly answer in the right situation or find a good idea, but if a difficult situation arises, then only the phlegmatic person will remain impartial and will not succumb to panic. As a rule, they sit for a long time in the same position, their gait is unhurried, in general, they are very detailed. The facial expression is such that you cannot read the emotions on it. Phlegmatic people do not like to chat in vain. They are very reliable people.
