It's hard to sum up the five (previously four) temperaments. I gave it a shot for the poll options.
The five temperaments have been interesting to me for a bit. After much consideration, I've decided i'm phlegmatic all the way, without noticing any particular leans toward the other temperaments. But, allow me to try and give you more information on them. And by that, I'm just going to put in Wiki quotes.
Sanguine:
(Have to do my own here) Basically, a person who desires acceptance, and sometimes control, from others, but not able to express or initiate well. Sometimes known to be frustrated, expecting people to know what they want. (I think that sums it up)
Phlegmatic:
(again, sort of on my own here) A person who could be called "neutral". Often unenthusiastic and resistant to change, the phlegmatic protects its low-energy reserves by taking the path of least resistance. Phlegmatics aren't often suscepted to the "negative" emotions like anger, sadness or distress. They are generally peaceful, and can be with or without others' interaction.
Each of them has a sort of driving need. The Sanguine, for attention; The Choleric for their own goals; The Melancholic, their fear for rejection or the unknown, sometimes their artistic passions; The Supine for acceptance and subordinance; and the Phlegmatic, ironically, to protect it's low-energy, essentially making it the opposite of any compulsion.
...Well I thought it was interesting. Anyone else? Below is a picture, with some captions to elaborate.
Top Left: Supine, Top Right: Sanguine, Bottom Right: Choleric, Bottom Left: Melancholic, Center: Phlegmatic. Mixes in between.
Note: Many people are blends of the temperaments, often with one of them being dominant. You could elaborate on your mix in a post, but as for the poll, choose what you believe is dominant. Thank you kindly.
