The first personality-theory that I became acquainted with before MBTI was the "four temperament" theory. As most of you know, it consists of four personalities: one extremely laid-back (phlegmatic), one extremely take-charge (choleric), one extremely perfectionist (melancholy), and one extremely playful (sanguine). Since becoming acquainted with MBTI, I've found a surprisingly strong parallel for these four temperaments, not in David Keirsey's SJ/SP/NT/NF system, but in peoples' preferences for extroversion/introversion and judging/perceiving.
ExxJs (Cholerics)
IxxPs (Phlegmatics)
ExxPs (Sanguines)
IxxJs (Melancholies)
To tell the truth, I spotted this correlation shortly after learning about the 16 types. All this time I've kept it under my hat, but it's just so obvious to me now that I can hardly ignore it. Has anyone else noticed this parallel?
