Well, number one I've suffered from clinical depression, so that may have something to do with it, and two...it makes it sound like Melancholics write poetry, love art, and are aware of the pain and tragedy in the world. However, I could care less about being on time and I'm not sure I'm a perfectionist, either. I respond much more strongly to stimuli as well.
ISTJ is the ENFPs shadow self, and I know I'm more consciously aware of my Si than some ENFPs for whatever weird reason (being rasied by two SJs, so therefore forced to cultivate it to an extent at a younger age?) ...it's funny though because I think I fought against Si and ran from it in my teens in absolute horror, but embraced it more and more by the time I was in my twenties. I still hate working with details though. The devil is in the details, bro. *shudders*
I definitely think it makes sense for ISTJ to be Melancholic and ENFP to be Sanguine though.
ISTJ said to me the other day "you're happy, I'm sad." At first I took it literally and was like "lolwut, no"...but then he explained how much more cynical he is, how he's more subdued and pessimistic, and yeah...
All of that certainly makes sense.
Melancholies in the classic temperament systems generally are portrayed as the artistic ones; generally where the SP's (especially ISFP) are in Keirsey's system. Just imagine that hurdles I had to clear when I first saw the Keirsey temperaments with the "Artisan" as the Sanguine, and the Feeling temperament as Choleric.
The classic system seemed to make sense, because my father is very artistic, and an ISTJ-Melancholy. (That really showed when I was younger. Now, it's my mother; also ISTJ=pure Melancholy, whose artisticness has really blossomed in retirement. There's also a lot of Ne--developed inferior in the stuff she makes).
I guess artisticness is a general S thing, and SJ's will focus more on internalized stuff, while SP's will probably be more about the current senses.
for some reason, Keirsey only picked this up in the SP's. The Galen systems identified it in the Melancholy. The systems before APS did not have the "Control area" distinction, so did not pick up any artisticness in the Sanguine, beyond their focus on "the senses" (which as mentioned in classic temperament, though not associated with Jung's "Sensing" function).
ISTP of course, is the one who is both Melancholic and Artisan. It actually was the only type known as "the Artisan" back when Keirsey had his old temperament names (with the SP as "Dionysian").
The ISFP was called "The Artist". That one is often [informally] called "melancholy", though neither the Interaction Style, nor the conative temperament are Melancholic. (It's Phlegmatic-Sanguine). I guess it's similar to the ISTJ, but with the Feeling out front instead of tertiary, and again, more current sense focused.
Why would I get Melancholic Choleric if I am an ENTP?... Very INTJ-ish.
I saw that before, but didn't notice your My Personality badge. So I went to your profile, but saw ESFP. So you changed? You actually said Choleric Melancholy in the previous post. That suggests ESTJ. (Don't know you enough to really have my own sense of your type).
ENTP fits SanChlor (Jenocyde is good example, and others here have fit it as well). Don't know why it would come out Melancholy in place of Sanguine. I could see the Choleric being mellowed into Melancholy.
