As per many authors, there is a correlation between NF Temperament and hippocrates' humors (melancholic/sanguine. etc)..

My hypothesis is as follows:

ENFP: Sanguine
INFP: Melancholic
ENFJ: Choleric
INFJ: Phlegmatic..

It is yet to be proved.

What's your expert take?

Regards,

Andre

It's hardly an expert take, but I (INFP) probably identify most with the Melancholic humor.

Check this thread

There is quite a bit of information around about correlations between type and temperament also. (not immediately sure where, but I've seen it before)

Well - you were right in my case anyway:

Alexx,
Your personality is Sanguine Phlegmatic

Melancholy Strength:3 Weakness:5 20%
Phlegmatic Strength:7 Weakness:4 28%
Sanguine Strength:8 Weakness:8 40%
Choleric Strength:2 Weakness:3 13%

Hmm, correct in my case.

Your personality is Phlegmatic Melancholy.

Melancholy Strength: 9 Weakness: 4 -- 33%
Phlegmatic Strength: 3 Weakness: 12 -- 38%
Sanguine Strength: 6 Weakness: 3 -- 23%
Choleric Strength: 2 Weakness: 1 -- 8%

I passed this test a while ago, and as INFJ, I was 67% Melancholic and 33% Phlegmatic.

What classical element is usually tied to Melancholic humor anyway? I'm curious.

I always test Melancholic Phlegmatic, strongly on the Melancholic end.

my test gave me Melancholic, but after reading the strengths and weaknesses of each type (on the same site), Phlegmatic fits me waaaay better

funny thing i found out by reading, nobody in my house shares the same type:

my father (ISTJ) is a Melancholic
my mother (ESFJ) is a Sanguine
my sister (ESTJ) is a Choleric
and i (INFJ) am a Phlegmatic
