Incredible Facts

Temperament type largely determines who we are, what we do, and why we do it.

The idea of ​​​​the existence of 4 temperaments: choleric, melancholic, sanguine and phlegmatic was invented 2000 years ago by Hippocrates. He argued that differences in personality are due to the fluid that prevails in the human body.

Choleric - yellow bile of the liver

Sanguine - blood of the heart

Melancholic - black bile of the kidneys

Phlegmatic - phlegm of the lungs

Thus, the predominance of one of the fluids made a person energetic and optimistic (sanguine), silent and sad (melancholic), passionate (choleric) or calm (phlegmatic).

Temperament and character

Temperament should not be confused with personality. Personality is a combination of many human factors, while temperament is only one of the factors, although a very important one.

It is a need that motivates us to behave according to our natural innate inclinations. If it is not satisfied, the person will not feel good or function effectively.

Again, for example, take the temperament of a sanguine person. Being in the company of people and communication are his needs. If such a person does not communicate regularly and is not in a circle of people, he begins to worry and suffer from low self-esteem.

Each type of temperament has its own needs: the choleric needs quick results, the sanguine needs to be in the company of people, the phlegmatic needs a stable environment, and the melancholic needs a detailed plan.

Result:

Now count the number of answers "a", "b", "c" and "d".

Multiply each number you get by 5 to get the percentage.

For example, you got 7 "a" answers, 10 "b" answers, 2 "c" answers and 1 "d" answer.

"a" \u003d 7 * 5 \u003d 35%

"b"=10*5=50%

"at"=2*5=10%

"g"=1*5=5%

Answers correspond to the following types of temperament:

"a" - choleric

"b" - sanguine

"in" - phlegmatic

"g" - melancholic

Thus, in the example, we have obtained that a person is dominated by the sanguine temperament type ("b" = 50%), the secondary type of temperament is choleric ("a" = 35%), and then phlegmatic in descending order ("c" = 10 %) and melancholic ("g" \u003d 5%)

40% or more, this type of temperament is dominant in you.

If some type of temperament typedfrom 30 to 39%, this type of temperament is pronounced in you.

If some type of temperament typedfrom 20 to 29%, this type of temperament is moderately expressed in you .

If some type of temperament typedfrom 10 to 19%, this type of temperament is weakly expressed in you .

Temperament Type Sanguine

Sanguine - very sociable person who likes to be around people. Of all the temperaments, the sanguine is the easiest to communicate with. They bring energy and breathe life into any company with their mere presence. Their cheerfulness and humor illuminate everything around.

This is the optimistic type of person who believes that life is a wonderful, fun-filled experience and should be lived to the fullest.

Inactivity causes them stress because they live in a fast and active rhythm. This is the most impulsive of all temperaments.

The sanguine person excels in matters of connection and communication, but this is the least disciplined and organized type of all temperaments.

He is open, very enthusiastic, friendly, understands the feelings of other people, but can be rude and inattentive.

Sanguine can hardly be called a devoted friend, as he does not like to bind himself with obligations, but simply wants to have fun. They live as if they have no past or future. Rarely admit their mistakes, but tend to exaggerate in order to look more successful in the eyes of others.

Since this type of temperament loves pleasure many sanguine people are prone to various kinds of addictions, as well as overeating.

A person with this type of temperament is ready to take on difficult tasks and complete a task or project while his ego is fueled. However, at the slightest hint of their shortcomings, they quit.

They are easily upset if they are not appreciated and not assured of love. They are very demanding in terms of love and affection, tormented by feelings of jealousy if the attention that belongs to them goes to someone else.

Cholerics rarely listen to the advice of others. They want to have complete control over themselves and others. They are of the opinion that they know what is best and what is acceptable behavior for others.

They have serious anger management problems. Cholerics rarely express such emotions as love, tenderness, friendliness and empathy, but this can be compensated by a secondary type of temperament. In addition, on the part of other people, they consider these emotions inappropriate and useless.

Cholerics believe that no one can do a task better than them. They tend to overwork themselves and can bring themselves to nervous exhaustion.. To achieve their goal, they are ready to do anything.

Unlike melancholics, who see the shortcomings of the project before taking any action, choleric people do not see any pitfalls. The choleric will move regardless of the cost that is required, because for him the end justifies the means.

Temperament Phlegmatic

To an observer, the phlegmatic seems slow and stubborn. People of a phlegmatic temperament go through life slowly, slowly, spending as little energy as possible.

It is difficult to say whether the phlegmatic really lacks energy, or whether they simply refuse to use it.

They are task-oriented and very efficient when the job requires precision, thoroughness and a minimum of energy.

Perhaps the world will never recognize those brilliant thoughts, great books and works of art that were consigned to oblivion by the phlegmatic. They rarely use their ideas and talents, as their implementation requires a lot of effort.

The phlegmatic sits and watches how representatives of other types of temperament make mistakes and notes what needs to be changed in this world so that everything is right. They perfectly catch cases of any injustice, but very rarely take any action against this injustice. They can inspire others to action, but they personally will not participate in this.

Phlegmatic is the only type of temperament that a choleric person cannot control (which terribly infuriates a choleric person).

This is the most stable temperament. He can also be called the most stubborn when it comes to change. Since he tends not to interfere in other people's affairs, he can be a good mediator and diplomat. Peace at any cost is the motto of the phlegmatic.

The phlegmatic is not afraid of being rejected and can easily deal with a cold and hostile person. They are calm, carefree, not subject to a surge of emotions, anger, bitterness, like other types of temperaments. Their restraint and coldness can sometimes hurt loved ones.

Temperament Melancholic

Melancholic people have very sensitive, emotional nature and sometimes feelings take over. Emotions can lift their mood to unprecedented heights, and the rest of the time they are in a depressed and gloomy state. However, a secondary temperament often balances this feature.

Melancholics need to learn how to communicate their emotions as they try to shield and protect themselves emotionally. Often they demonstrate their love by loyalty and responsibility towards another person.

If the melancholic makes full use of his strengths, he is capable of great and wonderful accomplishments. When they give in to their weaknesses, they are prone to self-destructive behavior.

A pure melancholic is an introvert and a loner. Melancholics are goal-oriented, they are perfectionists and often set the bar too high for themselves and those around them.

They can be called very devoted to his friends and family. If the melancholic has made a promise, he will keep it. These are creative people, but prone to deep depression. They can also be called secretive and quite serious.

They are independent, do not respond to promises and rewards, or to the threat of punishment. They are rarely satisfied with the result, because they feel that they can do it better. They have a realistic view of what is happening. Melancholics know their limits and rarely take on more than they can handle.

Melancholic temperament most self-centered. Due to their sensitive nature, they are easily offended or offended. They may be suspicious and come to unfounded conclusions. They tend to be introspective to the point where it can lead to inactivity and low energy, among other problems.

The third type of temperamentmanifests itself in an official setting, at a distant psychological distance (in relation to management, subordinates or partners from other organizations, simply unfamiliar

A person is born with a certain genetic predisposition, on the basis of which he is able to form other personal characteristics. For example, if a person is not born with wings, then he will not be able to fly, no matter how much he wants to. However, he can learn various manipulations that his hands can perform. Also with the type of temperament, which has certain characteristics and definitions that affect the further development of a person. A special test can help to identify it.

There are still discussions about whether temperament is an innate quality. Many refer to the fact that temperament is already embedded in a person from birth, and certain character traits are formed on its basis. If there are stable features in temperament, then they should be attributed to the features of nervous activity that is already embedded in a person.

Thus, temperament is an innate property of a person, and character is acquired. A person can only influence his character, which is formed on the basis of what temperament he has.

What are temperament types?

The types of temperament are understood as personality traits that are stable and characterized by the dynamism of manifestation, and not by their content. This is a type of activity of the higher nervous system, which manifests itself in the emotional sphere.

In psychology, there are those that clearly distinguish people into certain reactions and behavioral models. However, we do not forget that actions and character traits are subject to a person, regardless of what temperament he has.

Each person has their own temperament and character. Many people confuse these concepts, thinking that they are one and the same. In fact, these are two different indicators of a person's mental reaction. One is hereditary and practically unchanged, and the second is acquired and depends only on the individual himself.

Temperament is a mental reaction and a state that depends on the structure of the human nervous system. The nervous system of the individual is formed even in the womb on the basis of the genetic program that is transmitted from both parents.

Temperament is a hereditary gift. That is why a child is often the same as his parents. The device of the nervous system allows relatives to be the same, which helps to strengthen them and maintain the family.

is a set of qualities that a person develops in the process of life. How does this happen? There is a situation. A person begins to react to it, think about it, draw conclusions, make decisions, take actions. On the basis of experience, conclusions are made (beliefs are created). And subsequent situations in which a person begins to react in a similar way and perform similar actions form habits in him.

Habits in actions, thoughts, and decisions make one or another character trait manifest in certain situations. A person can develop any quality and trait in himself. But only that which corresponds to his actions, thoughts and decisions that he uses develops in him.

If you change your habitual actions, then the character will also change, since the manifestation of other qualities will be required and others that were previously used will be excluded.

Thus, temperament is transmitted to people from their parents, and character is formed by the person himself in the process of life.

Types of human temperament

There are 4 types of human temperament today:

1. Choleric type - unrestrained, unbalanced, quick-tempered, unbridled. Emotional experiences in this category of people proceed very quickly and are clearly manifested. So, they are easy to get out, because they quickly flare up, however, they also subside emotionally just as easily.

Choleric is a very passionate and emotional person. He can not experience emotions dimly. If he experiences something, it is very deep and bright. And he can experience conflicting feelings at the same time. However, these experiences are not lasting. Soon the choleric quickly switches to other emotions.

Such a person is disgusted by monotonous work. At first, he lights up with ideas and enthusiasm. However, over time, he cools down and begins to do the work, though, carelessly.

Choleric characteristics are speed and strength, harshness and impatience. The facial expressions and gestures of such a person are pronounced, sweeping, active. Teenagers with this type of temperament are rebellious, often naughty, getting into fights, disrupting lessons, etc. They are very mobile and active, and can involve other children in adventures.

1. Melancholic type - unbalanced, the depth of experiences with their implicit and sluggish manifestation to the outside. Such people behave imperceptibly and slowly. Their movements are distinguished by restraint, inexpressiveness, monotony, slowness and poverty.

The melancholic is very sensitive and vulnerable. His voice is quiet and expressionless. Such a person is afraid of difficulties, therefore, before committing any action, he thinks over its necessity and implementation plan for a long time. If the action does not require mental stress, then it is performed.

Melancholic has an asthenic character, when emotions are very deep and stable, monotonous. Such a person is unsociable and closed. He is almost always sad and lethargic, because he reacts painfully to external stimuli.

The melancholic is weak, indecisive, constantly wanting to settle everything and hesitates. The absolute melancholic is characterized by passivity, disinterest in business and lethargy. Such a person seems to live in his own world, practically unadapted to life.

Melancholic children are often offended and teased, they do not know how to fight against injustice. It is difficult for them to get along in a team, but they are easily influenced by others. Melancholy teenagers are whiny, timid and shy

1. The sanguine type is characterized by speed, poise and moderate strength, but the weakness of the intensity of mental processes. Sanguine is able to quickly switch from one job to another. His activities are diverse, he does not get tired, he learns quickly and can work on something for a long time. His emotionality is rapidly changing, so it is not deep.

Sanguine people are manifested by expressive and vivid facial expressions, which can be accompanied by active movements. They are cheerful and mobile. Such people are very easy to be distracted by any external stimuli, since their depth of experience is very low. They are quite impressive.

The sanguine is able to quickly solve problems, especially if they are not too difficult and serious. Their decisions are often hasty. They, like choleric people, quickly light up with various ideas, but then quickly lose interest.

Sanguine refers to sociable and sociable people. However, the relationship with him is quite superficial, as he quickly switches from one emotion to another. Today he loves, but tomorrow he may not love. There is a plus here, since the sanguine person quickly forgets insults, sorrows, troubles (as well as joys, pleasant moments, help).

Sanguine likes to take a leading position, command and take responsibility, be the center of attention, be ahead.

1. The phlegmatic type is characterized by lethargy, little mobility, slowness. Such a person has a poor emotional sphere, therefore he is not able to be energetic and quickly move on to action. The balance of character is explained by the fact that the emotions of the phlegmatic are even and constant. He is called measured, calm and unflappable. Affective manifestations, disorders, impulsivity are not typical for him, since such an individual is almost impossible to piss off.

The gestures and facial expressions of the phlegmatic are inexpressive and monotonous. His speech is lifeless, slow, accompanied by gestures and expressiveness.

Before performing any action, the phlegmatic thinks over his future for a long time and carefully. However, if he decides to commit it, then he will gradually and purposefully implement it. It is difficult for such a person to change from one job to another, so he prefers to do what he is familiar and familiar with. Changes and changes are possible only when the phlegmatic was warned about them, he was able to think them over in advance and get used to them. When a phlegmatic mentally gets used, then changes occur easily.

It should not be assumed that a person belongs only to a certain type of temperament. Usually, each contains the characteristics of several types, which is called a mixed type. One type is clearly expressed in it, and the other three complement the first one to one degree or another.

Psychological types of temperament

Temperament types are divided according to the following psychological characteristics:

• Sensitivity - the amount of the smallest forces from the outside world, which is necessary to cause a mental reaction.
• Reactivity - the level of reaction and its manifestation in the outside world.
• Activity is the ability of a person to overcome difficulties, to influence the world around him.
• The ratio of reactivity and activity is the level of dependence of human activity on external stimuli.
• Rigidity and plasticity are the levels of a person's adaptability to external stimuli (high or low, inertia).
• The rate of reactions is the speed of mental processes and reactions, motor activity.
• Introversion and extraversion are types of thinking and behavior that are directed to the outer or inner world of a person.
• Emotional excitability - the amount of the smallest stimulus that should cause an emotional reaction, as well as the speed of its occurrence.
