On my latest blog, I have written an article or more like a test about the four temperaments for us to know which we are among the four. And since I'm the one who made it, I'm also the first one to take the test so that I can use it as an example for those who want to do it too. As a result, I found out that I am a 32% Choleric and 26% Sanguine. And that concludes that I am a Choleric-Sanguine.
Anyway, if you haven't read my previous blog, I'll give you first a short recap about what are the four temperaments and what does it mean.
Sanguine
They always want to be the center of attention, they are funny and talkative, they won't let their companions to be bored and there's just really no dull moments with them. However, they tend to take everything so easy, even with serious matters, and that made them insincere. They also have the tendency to talk too much even though others are not interested with what they are talking.
Melancholic
They are the opposite of sanguine. Unlike sanguine who are loud people, melancholic are those people who are reserved. These people are gifted but they don't want to show it, they always have an idea but they don't want to share it. They are talented, perfectionist, accurate and detail oriented.
Choleric
They are the people who have strong personality. They don't easily get affected by what others would think about them. They are born leaders and are great leaders. They are also decisive. But they can also be really aggressive and dominant. They are also unemotional and they don't care that much about what others would feel about their actions.
Phlegmatic
They are the opposite of choleric. They are the softy kind of people. They are gentle and soft spoken. They are caring and peaceful. They don't get easily offended and they are sympathetic. But they are also a bit slow. They don't catch up to situation easily. It can take them too much time before they can finally decide.
So that concludes the four temperaments that I am talking about.
Honestly, I am also a bit surprised about the results that I got this time as I take the test. I was a Sanguine-Melancholy before then suddenly, I became Choleric-Sanguine. So that triggers me to analyze each question/characteristics under that Choleric section to evaluate if the characteristic being mentioned is really pertaining to me.
Q3. Strong will power - disciplined, always have a goal, not easily influenced by what others would think about you
I rated this with 3 so this is really accurate. I'm the kind of person who works well with goals, it gives me direction, and that also made me disciplined enough to do everything just to reach that certain goal.
Q7. Born leader - good at leadership, the take over guy, always being nominated for leadership positions, aggressive, fast to act at emergencies
Good at leadership? Maybe my block mates can testify to that. I'm also the take over guy, even without directions or instructions, I feel like when we are left alone, I am always the one to be in charge. This is very timely too, it's just earlier when my senior approached me and asked me to run in the student council. With that, I'm rated myself 3 with this one.
Q11. Energetic, active, tense, determined - continuous action, plans carefully, whatever happens, he should accomplish something.
Once again, I am 3 with this one. I'm the type of person that whatever happens, I should at least accomplish something.
Q15. Adventuresome - easy to trust others. Don't easily lose hope, still have the will to finish things even if it's hard
I am a very trusting person. We can meet today and by the end of the day, I have already told you my whole life. I'm also an optimist who always sees the good in bad, a hopeful person and I'm also determined to finish things no matter how hard it is. Another 3 for me.
Q19. Practical - quickly finds practical solutions to problems
I don't like thinking about ways that are complicated. Practical solutions are just easier to find so I always tend to go with that. 3 for this one.
Q23. Optimistic - encourager, don't easily give up, sees problems as a challenge
Encourager, yes I am. Not a quitter, yes, it's me again. And problems? They are just challenges. 3 again with this one.
Q27. Quick, intuitive appraisal rather than analytical - keeps his eye on the goal but doesn't care about the people who will be affected in reaching his goal
I rated myself only 1 in here. I always do keep my eyes on the prize, but it's not to the point that I am being insensitive of what others would feel.
Q31. Decisive - fast thinker, fast to decide, have a definite stand about an issue
I'm in between in here so I rated myself 2. There are times where I'm fast to decide but there are also times that are not since there's a lot of things to consider and I just can't decide for others so easily.
Q35. Hot-tempered and carries grudges - bitter, difficult to forgive, goes to any length to repay injustice
No, this isn't me. I'm not bitter, I'm a very forgiving person. And never will I think or plan about revenge.
Q39. Cruel, hard, cold - bossy, dominant, arrogant, cannot be stopped
Kinda me, so 2 with this one. Since I am used to being the leader, there are really times that I am being bossy and I asked people to do this and that.
Q43. Self-sufficient, proud, stubborn - a dictator, decisive, opinionated
3 with this one. I can really be a dictator sometimes. I just mentioned that at Q39.
Most of the characteristics of being a Choleric really fits my characteristics that I know I have. And most of the time, I'm also the one to lead, may it be on the classroom, on group activity, with friends and family. I always take the lead. Just that mere fact and it can really conclude that I am a choleric person.
As for the Sanguine, I also am one. I'm also a talkative person who always have something to day that sometimes, I tend to say some things thoughtlessly. I can also be funny and enthusiastic. Jolly and cheerful also.
In conclusion, without bias, I think that this test is accurate for the results that I get really fits my characteristics. Taking this test makes me know myself better and it made me discover some of the characteristics which I didn't know I have.
How about you @MissJo? Do you think you got the right result with this test? You can make your own analysis about the test two and let's see if the result really says who you are.
And for you guys who might be curious about this test that I am talking about, take the test at this link: The Four Temperaments: What are you? and then you can also make an analysis like this about the result that you will get.
Hey there folks! I appreciate you being here. I'm sorry for bringing this four temperaments thingy again even though I just published the same topic last night. I just really want to assess whether I really am a Choleric person for until now I can't believe it.
For those who also took the test, thank you. I hope that by taking that, you get to know more about yourself the same way I did.
And may the four temperaments be a reminder for us that we are different people who can have different characteristics. Choleric, let's be more patient with Phlegmatic when they can't get what we are talking about. Sanguine, let us be more sensitive about what we are talking about, not everyone wants to hear our every words. And to those who are Melancholic, you guys are so bright, continue to shine by unleashing those potentials which you have in you.
Thanks for reading and as always, take care! :)
