Melancholic
By nature, the melancholic temperament is idealistic, solitary, introspective, and sensitive.
Melancholics perceive the world with intensity, possessing high ideals and a constant inner turmoil that revolves around their ideals of perfection and the imperfect external world.
The melancholic's idealism causes them to be highly perfectionistic.They are known to excel in any creative field they embark in, due to a combination of their perfectionism and their heightened sensitivities to emotions and the subtleties of beauty. Their creative work is often hindered, however, by procrastination, as their desire for perfection paralyses them to start anything.
Often, the melancholic's perfectionism can result in social isolation. Holding themselves, and other people, to their unrealistically high standards makes them difficult to relate to, and also to please. It also makes them self-deprecating. Sometimes, for instance, they can think that they're not interesting enough, even if deep down they know that this isn't true. This is partly why the melancholic prefers spending time alone.
Perhaps the most introverted temperament of all four, melancholics are slow, cautious and reserved in how they approach life. They crave time alone and only associate themselves with a few people that share their standards and ideals.
Melancholics need alone time to brood and slowly think things through, as they never decide impulsively. Melancholics feel that this combination of slow introspection and deep sensitivity is what gives them great analytical abilities. Melancholics are often prone to reflecting on how they feel about different elements of life. Once they reach a conclusion, they can become quite stubborn-minded, as they feel they can't be wrong with such a carefully considered opinion.
The melancholic's sensitivity can be both a gift and a curse. On one hand, their sensitivity can make them very thoughtful and conscientious. They are naturally compassionate, considerate and self-sacrificing, always focusing on justice and goodness. On the other hand, the Melancholic can become frequently preoccupied with the tragedy and cruelty that happens around them. Occasionally they can fixate on tragic memories from their pasts, entering phases of depression and moodiness. Additionally, they can get hurt easily due to their perfectionistic ideals, especially when someone is critical of their work.
The melancholic rarely responds to things they dislike with rage, preferring a more passive emotional withdrawal such as misery or crying in solitude. Once a person the melancholic trusted loses their credibility, they can hold a grudge against them indefinitely. This is why they're often perceived as moody and hard to interact with, because they can get hurt so easily.
