Four Temperaments is a psychological 
theory. In ancient times people believed 
that bodily fluids affect 
human personality and behaviors. The 
temperaments are sanguine, choleric, 
melancholic, and phlegmatic.
Sanguine 
impulsive 
pleasure-seeking 
sociable 
charismatic 
boisterous 
creative 
sensitive 
compassionate 
thoughtful 
forgetful 
sarcastic 
Sanguine personalities are usually late. 
They may lose interest in their new 
hobby when it is no more fun or exciting. 
They are talkative and not shy.
Choleric 
ambitious 
leader-like 
highly disorganized / highly organized 
aggression, energy, and passion 
Many great charismatic military and political 
figures were choleric. 
They try to inspire 
others. They often 
dominate people of other 
temperaments. 
They like to be in charge 
of everything. They see 
the world either black or 
white. Though they are 
leaders they may fall into 
depression.
The melancholic 
introverted 
thoughtful 
Melancholics are very good at 
poetry and art. 
They are very independent; a negative point is that they may forget 
about others when they very much into the things they are doing.
Phlegmatic 
relaxed 
quiet 
kind 
affectionate. 
They may be very shy and often prefer stability in everything. They are 
relaxed, calm, rational, curious, and observant, qualities that make them 
good administrators.
The research was made by the school psychologist. 
The table shows the percent composition of different temperaments in 3 
forms.
There exists a more 
general classification 
of temperaments – 
introverts and 
extroverts.
Most people believe that an extrovert is a person who is friendly and 
outgoing. This is not the true meaning of extroversion. 
Extrovert – energized by being around other people. 
Introvert – energized by being alone. 
Extroverts feel bored when they are alone. An extrovert will use any chance 
to talk with someone else rather than sit alone and think. Extroverts tend to 
think as they speak, unlike introverts who think before they speak.
Introverts’ conversations are 
generally about ideas and 
concepts. 
Introverts make up about 60% of 
the gifted population but only 
about 25-40% of the general 
population. 
Introverts: inner world of the mind, thinking, 
exploring thoughts and feelings.
