Misunderstood Temperaments

I think Frances meant who responded to this thread, not viewed. Just a side note.

I'm a melancholic. I think our types are misunderstood because we don't always say exactly what we mean: a) because we can't put it in words adequately, and b) we are shy of standing out in a crowd and being wrong.

The temperaments are fascinating and very useful for correcting our faults. I did read that children will have the temperaments of one or both parents. I've found this to be true to an extent. Our children are either dominately choleric (my husband), or melancholic (me), or a mixture of the two....and then one sanguine (what??). Any of you have a similar case?

In my family we have 2 sanguines (me & youngest son), 2 cholerics (sons), and 1 melancholic (DH).

Here are the combos for each:

DH-melancholy/phlegmatic  :reading: :sleep:

me-sanguine/choleric   :jester:  :boxer:

S1-choleric/phlegmatic  :drillsergeant:  :tv-disturbed:

S2-choleric/sanguine   :light-saber:  :laugh2:

S3 - sanguine/phlegmatic   :jester:  :cool:
