Short Four Temperaments Test

[Ene]

Phlegmatic/Choleric

I took it once before and got Mel/Phleg...hmmm...maybe I've changed since then? Or maybe this one is more limited or maybe I wasn't honest with myself once upon a time. Who knows? It's always been hard for me to embrace the idea that I might be a little bit Choleric because I don't really see myself that way...but um...I just now thought this, a phleg/chol does sound kind of 9w8 ish, if you think about it.

It's just that I like the idea of being a creative genius, which would be more melancholy. But I'm NOT moody. I AM laid-back and I do get the job done, so eek...maybe?

Melancholic > Phlegmatic

lol, I made this thread.

And this time, I got Melancholy > Choleric. If I could display only one type to describe my personality as comprehensively as possible, melancholic would be the type that could do it. That I get it on a temperament test just means that the test isn't broken.

The choleric part is more interesting, and I think representative of a good thing. It would be easy to deny it based on past experiences living with family who saw treated those traits as bad, as well as stronger choleric types who possibly smelled the undercurrent of resistance in me and succeeded at quashing it because I was already weakened from home, and obviously mental illness. Seeking my parents' mistakes out in the wider world because I was not yet a real adult on the inside.

I'm in the second half of my 20s now, though, when personalities are supposed to at least somewhat consolidate. Maybe it's improving (if far from perfect) health, or maybe it's just a better understanding of what self-deception is, but I don't really believe that core traits can be killed off forever. They can be repressed for such staggering lengths of time that pessimism about their existence is understandable. But now I'm more skeptical of the existence of a neurosis great enough to relieve one of the eventuality of having to own what they were born with.

Besides, my bile wasn't really absent for all those years. Caged, maybe, but it still made a fuckton of noise. Just ask my mom.

Phlegmatic>melancholic

I took it again and got the same: Phlegmatic > Sanguine.

Reading phlegmatic again...wow. I felt like I was reading about something written about me. All except for the whole not showing emotion thing. I'm actually a really sensitive, emotional person who cries frequently and easily. And I do show excitement, and can be pretty expressive about my feelings. But nothing can completely describe a person.

I don't relate that much to sanguine. What I do relate to seems to be the face I show to my best friends. I'm pretty silly once I'm really comfortable.

P.S. The phlegmatic description just sounded really 9.

Interestingly enough, it was the phlegmatic part of my Sanguine > Phlegmatic that I didn't relate to as much. The contrast is rather neat.

 

[Yama]

[Doctor Cringelord]

[Destiny]

I didn't bother to take that test but I read up about this before and my primary temperament is melancholic and secondary temperament is phlegmatic.

 

[Hitoshi-San]

Sanguine > Choleric

 

[Forever]

Sanguine > Phlegmatic

Retake.

 

[Jade Heart]

Phlegmatic
Melancholic

I read all the profiles, and I have to say, I think I like the ones I found on a Google search for "phlegmatic profile" more. The phlegmatic profile on this site portrays us strangely (Live to please others? F*ck no), and it generalizes us all as meek and submissive. I did notice, though, that he/she never actually wrote descriptions that could be interpreted as emotional bias on his/her part. That was unexpected for me.

 

[Bush]

Choleric > Sanguine

Some Temperament ripoffs (DiSC, Color Code) and some Temperament practitioners don't bat an eye at opposites (e.g. Choleric > Phlegmatic). That's a much better fit for me, really, but it blows people's fuckin' minds.

 

[Fregoli]

Sanguine Choleric.

 

[magpie]

Melancholic Sanguine.

So... basically I'm an introverted extrovert?

 

[c-jade]

I got Choleric/Melancholic, somehow...

 

[Smilephantomhive]

[DaftGuru]

phleg>mel

[julesiscools]

Phlegmatic>Sanguine blend. Not surprising to me, at all. I hate conflict, it makes me wanna puke.
