You Have a Melancholic Temperament

Introspective and reflective, you think about everything and anything.
You are a soft-hearted daydreamer. You long for your ideal life.
You love silence and solitude. Everyday life is usually too chaotic for you.

Given enough time alone, it's easy for you to find inner peace.
You tend to be spiritual, having found your own meaning of life.
Wise and patient, you can help people through difficult times.

At your worst, you brood and sulk. Your negative thoughts can trap you.
You are reserved and withdrawn. This makes it hard to connect to others.
You tend to over think small things, making decisions difficult.

You Have a Choleric Temperament

You are a person of great enthusiasm - easily excited by many things.
Unsatisfied by the ordinary, you are reaching for an epic, extraordinary life.
You want the best. The best life. The best love. The best reputation.

You posses a sharp and keen intellect. Your mind is your primary weapon.
Strong willed, nothing can keep you down. Your energy can break down any wall.
You're an instantly passionate person - and this passion gives you an intoxicating power over others.

At your worst, you are a narcissist. Full of yourself and even proud of your faults.
Stubborn and opinionated, you know what you think is right. End of discussion.
A bit of a misanthrope, you often see others as weak, ignorant, and inferior.

You Have a Phlegmatic Temperament



Mild mannered and laid back, you take life at a slow pace.
You are very consistent - both in emotions and actions.
You tend to absorb set backs easily. You are cool and collected.

It is difficult to offend you. You can remain composed and unemotional.
You are a great friend and lover. You don't demand much of others.
While you are quiet, you have a subtle wit that your friends know well.

At your worst, you are lazy and unwilling to work at anything.
You often get stuck in a rut, without aspirations or dreams.
You can get too dependent on others, setting yourself up for abandonment.

Apparently, we've declined in "popularity".

There was another test floating about where I got phlegmatic-melancholy. This is accurate.

I agree that pure phlegmatic is more 9ish.. be they INFP or ISFP. I think ISFPs are typically more phlegmatic-sanguine though.

6 is sometimes correlated to the fifth temperament "supine", probably due to their loyalty and devotion.

As for my results, I appear to be phlegmatic, though I'd say I'm melancholic/supine...

Funny.... I took one of the test in highlanders thread... and well..... most of my answers were phlegmatic with trace amounts of sanguine and melancholy. :D

Yeah, there's been a trend toward defining phlegmatic as an absence of a temperament. Which is convenient for me because I don't consistently relate to any of the classical temperaments. On the test in the OP, questions 1, 2, and 4 had no answer that actually stood out as a clear choice for me :shrug:

I like the "new" definition. I think of it as encompassing neutrality or balance. It can be a virtue in many ways :)

Check out the test in highlander's thread. It may give you a better idea of what the potential blend is:

http://www.typologycentral.com/forums/what-s-my-type/44377-what-s-your-temperament.html

I don't know, the temperament theory seems more accurate than the MBTI, at least for me.

Mainly because it states that we are all "blends" and not a pure temperament of some type.

So there's no problem if you test equally on melancholy and sanguine traits...for instance, but if you test equally on N and S and your type is supposed to be EXTP, which function is primary and which is tertiary? Most people test in the middle at some function preference.

6 is sometimes correlated to the fifth temperament "supine", probably due to their loyalty and devotion.

No, sixes are mostly melancholics. And what's with the loyalty cliche?
