    • I am more melancholic, but phlegmatic is a very close second.

    • Most people have a primary temperament and a secondary temperament.  Myers brigg came out with 16 types, that somewhat correspond to the primary and the secondary temperament.  I think these are helpful in knowing yourself and understanding others better.  It is no way a box to stay in, but just a tool to use.  If you use your personality as an excuse to stay as you are, then you are not becoming the person God meant for you to be.

    Here is an interesting chart.

    Gray- when you have a moment- you may want to do some research as the true source of Meyers/Briggs.
    "Although the MBTI is often presented as a form of 'scientific psychology' par excellence, its Jungian origins mean that it has unconsciously inherited and reproduced concepts of astrological and alchemical cosmology. As Jung's analysis of personality derives conscious inspiration from his active interest in alchemy and astrology, contemporary users of the MBTI are inadvertently conducting a form of astrological character analysis."

    I don't even know how to proceed.  Is psychology just a completely irrational science? Is the study of the human will, intellect, and emotions all of the occult?  Where is the Catholic thought on this?  I read one Catholic book, written by a priest I think, and it had hardly anything on the phlegmatic.

    Pretty sure Jung was Jєωιѕн, psychology and psychiatry are most likely Jєωιѕн pseudo-science with some degrees of truth to them.

    No, he wasn’t Jєωιѕн. His family was part of the Swiss Reformed Church though he was to become basically a pantheist.

    I was employed at the front desk of a London Jungian Institute for 2 years. (It was ecuмenical). I loved it and found it fascinating at the time. No, psychology is not a completely irrational science but it is much misused.
    I can’t answer about Catholic thought but I believe it is applicable in the Catholic situation.

    Beware, just because a book is written by a Catholic priest doesn’t make it worthwhile reading, though of course you know this already.

    • Aaron Kheriaty is a Catholic psychiatrist. He has written books and has made appearances in various podcasts and on YouTube. I think you might like his writings. He was also against the vaccine and lost his job because of his fight against it.

    A little different from psychology, though.

    Interesting.  I’ve taken this test several times over many years, and come out INTJ,mapparently, the rarest personality type for females.
