There are four types of temperaments: phlegmatic, sanguine, melancholic and choleric. Each of them has certain qualities and distinctive features. In real life, classical "pure" temperaments are practically not found. Each person most often has the qualities of all four temperaments. Just some traits are dominant. For example, in a character of the sanguine-choleric type, the qualities of these two temperaments predominate.
Sanguine people very quickly converge with other people, cheerful, able to easily switch from one type of activity to another, however, they do not like monotonous and monotonous work. They can easily control their emotions, quickly adapt to a new environment and actively contact other people. The speech of representatives of this temperament is emotional, fast, with expressive facial expressions, clear and loud. Sanguine and choleric in this are a bit similar to each other. Representatives of the sanguine temperament cannot stand monotony. If stimuli and events quickly replace each otherfriend, new impressions are constantly present, they manifest themselves from the active side. If the effects are monotonous and long, then the sanguine person quickly loses interest in them and begins to get bored. A sanguine-choleric may at the same time show slight irritability
Choleric people are very mobile, fast, excitable and unbalanced. Their mental activity is intense and stormy. In this case, excitation prevails over inhibition, which is characteristic of this type of nervous activity. This is colorfully manifested in impetuosity, intemperance, temper and irritability of a person. In a mixed temperament of a sanguine-choleric, these qualities are softened, which makes his representative more calm and balanced.
People with a choleric character have sharp gestures, unrestrained hurried speech, jerky movements and expressive facial expressions. The strength of feelings in such individuals is very high, and their manifestation is distinguished by liveliness and brightness. A person with this character is subject to sudden changes in mood. The imbalance greatly affects his daily activities.
The choleric person is fond of something, enthusiastically gets down to business, overcomes difficulties, works on the rise, demonstrating his impetuosity and speed of movement. However, when his nervous energy is depleted, an avalanche-like decline in activity occurs. The mood changes dramatically, and the representative of this temperament begins to behave irritably and aggressively, while showing extreme emotionalincontinence. On this basis, conflict situations often arise. In a mixed temperament sanguine-choleric, the severity of some of the negative qualities of the latter usually decreases.
Very many negative properties of the choleric temperament can be compensated by the qualities that other types of temperament have in their arsenal. "Pure" choleric and sanguine, as well as representatives of other character warehouses, practically do not occur. All types of temperament are reflected in the features of the average person.
