  • For all you sanguines out there here is a short and sweet view of the 4 temperments.

    Choleric- Dreamer(they dream to reach as high as they can in achieving) Task oriented, they are also probably what makes up most of your athletes because thay have what it takes to get there, they are also your presidents, kings :king:and they are also the lawyers in court, :judge: because they always like a good argument.  They make up 10% of the world population.

    Sanguine-Entertainers, curiose, happy ALL THE TIME. :jumping2:  They love to be seen by other people :rahrah:,they are probably the ones on commercials because they want to show how fun some thing is.  They are never seriouse and that drives Melencholics and Cholerics up the wall when they are trying to get their tasks done.  In life they are the fun people who hates doing chores or boring jobs, so they have to do a fun job or make there boring job worthwhile:)they make up 60% or 70% of the world population.

    Melancholic- music oriented, Task oriented, and if anything goes wrong in their schedual it will mess up their day AND their schedual.  They think they are the most perfect thing alive.(if I am offending any melencholics out there I apologize just, stating the facts).  Some times I think that melancholics can be annoying but without them we would not have, the telephone, computers, art, cars and then:rolleyes: the television, the movies, Ipads, Iphones,Ipods, the radio,Internet, and everything witha screen. :tv-disturbed: Melencholics also like to fight, if their is ever a hot argument going on at Cathinfo it is probably between a Melancholic and Choleric trying not to be the wrong one. They make up 50% of the earths population.

    Phlagmatic-This one was put on earth to help even out the 4 temperments, to help calm down the choleric, to tell the melencholic it was okay that his plan did not work out, and to help the Sanguine carry out his fun idea plan.  They are helpful, caring, friendly people, that everyone wants to befriend and be around.  They hate any type of arguing :argue: and are try to be the peace makers. They make up 80% of the world population and some people say "God Bless to that".

    I am very, very, very sorry for posting this direct link.

    Fr. requests that we link to the main page instead of directly linking to the audio.

    I did not do this intentionally. Please forgive my lack of prudence.  I should have reviewed before posting. If possible, can the previous link be removed?

    Melencholics also like to fight


    I wouldn't say that. They can debate when necessary but generally prefer to stay out of arguments.
    Please ignore ALL of my posts. I was naive during my time posting on this forum and didn’t know any better. I retract and deeply regret any and all uncharitable or erroneous statements I ever made here.

  • Every time I take one of these tests I get a different result. I just took it and it said I am choleric. Huh? I don't think so...

    Perhaps it's because I'm 25% in all of them. I think that mainly I am phlegmatic.

    Also, it seems as though people can change over time. I know I have changed a great deal over the past few years, and that has been reflected in my personality, so naturally quiz results would change as well.
    Religion clean and undefiled before God and the Father, is this: to visit the fatherless and widows in their tribulation: and to keep one's self unspotted from this world.

    You don't seem choleric to me, no way.

    Doesn't your FE profile say you're a Sanguine?

    Yes, yes, yes, yes.

  • I have heard that when you take these tests it is some times better for somebody else to be with you who knows you well so they can state there own opinion about you and help you out. :smile:

  • Yeh, that's what I put after taking the test a different time! Lol. I definately have some sanguin tendencies. I think my FE profile says sanguine/phlegmatic, but I don't want to log on there to check. :smirk:

    I'd agree with you that no way am I choleric, at least not predominately. I may have some hints of it.

    Ok, ok!   :wink: I listened to what Fr. Ripperger had to say about the 4 temperments last year sometime, I think. But it would probably be good to listen to it again.

    Well, a majority of people are a combination of two temperaments. I've heard of some people who are a mix of Melancholic and Choleric, now THAT seems odd, because those temperaments are exact opposites. The Sanguine temperament is a little closer to Melancholic than the Choleric temperament is.

    For those who are uncertain what temperament what they are, they can take the test here:

    SS, I am Melancholic/Choleric.  Apparently, this is the most difficult personality to get along with.  I am often at odds with myself.  

    Read here.  This is me, exactly.

    Melancholic/Choleric


    I did it on there it says:
    The phlegmatic-melancholic is introverted (though less so than the melancholic-phlegmatic), which means that his deep emotions and anxieties tend not to be clearly expressed. They tend to react extremely slowly when confronted by antagonism or strong emotions. They are personable, quiet, and gentle. They value harmonious relationships. When you are first entering a relationship with a phlegmatic-melancholic, you may be struck by how easy-going and agreeable they are, but be aware that they are not revealing the depth of their emotions to you. They are deeply sensitive and value harmony and high ideals within a relationship. As a result of his delayed and sometimes dull response, a phlegmatic-melancholic will be slower to speak out, tempted to procrastinate, and reticent. They may appear – or believe themselves -- at times to be “lazy.” At times when the melancholic aspect dominates, he will have plenty of time in which mull over in his mind what his response should have been. He may become easily offended (though he may not reveal this to you) or discouraged. The phlegmatic attentiveness to relationships, and to getting along and keeping the peace, will “take the edge off” some of the melancholic tendency to perfectionism and critical judgments of others. On the other hand, because he may be more easily offended, he may want to be critical of others yet hesitant to confront directly. The dominance of the phlegmatic temperament may also drive the melancholic proclivity to order and neatness out of the picture.
    If you are a phlegmatic-melancholic, you will show a cooperative spirit and a desire to please, and will value harmonious relationships. You are particularly gifted in teaching, mediating among groups, and at counseling individuals. And though yours isn’t the most dynamic temperament, your lack of defensiveness, calmness under pressure, and gift for mediation in critical situations can make you a very effective servant-leader, one who is willing to roll up his sleeves and work along with those he leads by example.
    This temperament combination can face at times a greater challenge to his confidence than other temperaments (especially the choleric or sanguine). For this reason, when you are facing a major challenge or have been given a multi-faceted and demanding project, it will be absolutely critical for you to maintain your level of energy and motivation — not to mention your prayer life-- to complete the project. You will want to anticipate the way your moods can get you off track, and take concrete steps to maintain accountability in order to remain focused and energized throughout the task. Motivational tapes, exercise and a healthy diet, spiritual guidance, and a strong sacramental life will be critical. You will also need to maintain your focus on the big picture at all times, and not be distracted by the “urgent” demands of the moment, or by what other people may ask of you. To this end, it is always wise to seek regular professional, personal, and spiritual guidance from qualified individuals. In order for the phlegmatic temperament to achieve success and reach his goals, he should always work with a motivational program that provides structure, inspires confidence, and ensures accountability.
    If you are phlegmatic-melancholic, it’s likely that you are a bit more upbeat than the melancholic-phlegmatic, a little less introverted, more trusting, slightly less moody, more generous with your time, and a more gracious host. You will rarely find yourself angry (though your feelings may be easily hurt), forgive more readily, and do not hold onto hurts in the same way that a more dominantly melancholic temperament would. You are compassionate, sensitive, caring, and tend to gravitate to the helping professions. You are a patient and caring teacher. You are not as “perfectionist” as a pure melancholic, and generally struggle with organization, planning, and a tendency to procrastinate. You find it difficult to set limits or turn someone down who asks a favor of you; you may be especially drawn to volunteer or missionary work, the apostolate, or other works of mercy. Though very generous, you may find it difficult to set priorities or limits. Your phlegmatic side makes it hard to say “no” – although you really want to. Sometimes your generosity can result in not enough time to “get organized,” be prepared, or to relax. Burn-out and feeling overwhelmed may result.
    If your temperament is phlegmatic-melancholic, for a better understanding of your temperament it is recommended that you read the full descriptions of the phlegmatic and melancholic

  • For those who I have unjustly offended, please forgive me. Please disregard my posts where I lacked charity and you will see that I am actually a very nice person. Disregard my opinions on "NFP", "Baptism of Desire/Blood" and the changes made to the sacra
