As you know, Hippocrates was the first to speak about different types of temperament in the era of antiquity. He associated various personality traits with the dominant fluid in the body (mucus, blood or bile). Despite the fact that modern psychology has long moved away from such an idea, the Hippocratic typology is still relevant. Today, four varieties are also distinguished in the typology of character: phlegmatic, choleric, melancholic and sanguine. The characteristic of each type includes psychological and biological aspects. Sanguine is considered the strongest type of temperament. His characterization includes both positive and negative sides.
Psychological characteristics of a sanguine person
The first thing they say about sanguine people is a strong temperament.
What is his strength? The term "sanguine" comes from the word "sangvis", which means "blood". This means that this type of temperament is characterized by constant activity, cheerfulness, resistance to external stimuli.
"Constantlyfickle" is a sanguine person. The characteristic of the nervous system of this type of temperament includes several points:
- nervous system is stable;
- tendency to change moods quickly;
- high emotionality.
Emotional characteristics should be touched upon especially. For sanguine people, emotions are a source of positive impressions. Any business should bring them joy and pleasure, otherwise it will become uninteresting for them. But at the same time, the emotional sphere is not central to the sanguine. Associated with this is easy switchability from one emotion to another. The social sphere, communication with people - this is where a sanguine person can realize himself. The characteristic of an activity suitable for a sanguine person must meet certain requirements. It should be fairly easy, not requiring deep knowledge, but bringing new experiences.
Positive and negative traits of a sanguine person
Everyone wants to be sanguine. He is always optimistic, resistant to feelings, sociable. What could be better? However, this type of temperament is characterized by extreme superficiality in views and emotions. The sanguine takes nothing to heart, and this can be seen as both a plus and a minus. It is difficult to piss him off, make him offended, worry. But a sanguine person rarely thinks about the situation, does not know how to learn from mistakes. It is difficult for him to focus on something that makes him think deeply. However, if we compare the temperaments of a sanguine person - a choleric person, the characteristic of the latter will be extremely unstable, andmeans emotional burnout and conflicts. In this regard, the sanguine person acts on the positive side. It can be compared to a child who is inquisitive and friendly towards the world, wants to try everything and learn, but cannot stop at any one activity.
Sanguine - a characteristic of professional qualities
In production, a sanguine will support any initiative, it is easy to discipline and motivate him for new activities. But one should remember the superficiality of this type of temperament - monotonous work will bore him. Therefore, a sanguine person should take a creative position associated with a constant change of activity and communication with people.
