Understanding Personality And Personality Development
A person's temperament is how they behave and represent themselves based on personality traits
and impactful experiences. Temperament remains constant and serves as a means to help you
determine how you will react to situations. It's a way to recognize consistent personality traits. No
matter your temperament, you always have the potential to improve your life while remaining
proud of your own unique identity. Simply existing in this world is a miracle, so try to make the
most of it.
Can You Change Your Personality?
While your underlying temperament is permanent, you can change how you behave as you get older
and continue building your experience based on how you see the world. Through awareness and
understanding, environmental factors affect how you think and feel, you have the power to change your
outlook. If you felt like you acted unfairly in the past, you can improve your disposition by recognizing
the four temperament types.
Personality Styles
When it comes to determining

20XX
temperament, psychologists recognize
four primary temperament types. The
names of the types were originally
names of humor in more distant times.
In this case, humor does not mean what
you find funny! This is the basis for an
antiquated concept of medical science,
and each trait is based on a Latin word.
In fact, even the word is based on
Latin temperāmentum.
Galen’s Prophecy
In these times, people believed that temperament was determined by relative proportions of certain
traits, which will also affect their behavior. This is a concept that was brought forward by Galen of
Pergamon and is a phenomenon known as Galen’s Prophecy, which describes many of the ancient
terms you’ll read about later.
These terms are the humors mentioned before, and humorism refers to the fluids believed to be
present within an individual’s body. Since different people have different amounts of fluids, people
thought that a dominant presence of one fluid defined a person’s temperament. Although modern
medicine rejects humor’s role in temperament, the names of the four temperament types stuck.
Sanguine
People with sanguine temperaments are people-

oriented, exhibiting traits such as outgoing and
extroverted. Moreover, they emphasize people are
working together and trying to do good for one
another, generally being helpful overall. It is the
most common type of temperament and is
typically either a primary type or a secondary
type.
This temperament type is just as likely to be

found in men as it is in women. Some people are
considered "super sanguine" because they are so
overly talkative and active that it can be
overwhelming to be around them.
Sanguine Characteristics
People with the sanguine temperament type have a wide range of emotions and a wide range of
behavior. They are the most versatile of all the temperaments. Depending on their secondary
temperament, they might be involved in nearly any human activity. However, they enjoy occasions
when they can interact with or change their environment.
Phlegmatic
Phlegmatic temperaments are also

common, but they can be seen as almost
the opposite disposition of sanguine
temperaments. People with this
temperament type are service-oriented,
exhibiting introverted personality traits,
but will work with others to achieve a
common goal. These people may seem
passive and lack general ambition or
specifically to accomplish a goal or
milestone. However, it is also possible to
have a sanguine type primarily and a
secondary type of phlegmatic, or the other
way around.
Phlegmatic Characteristics
The passiveness of the phlegmatic temperament type leads to a distinct set of

characteristics. They are easy-going, calm, and unemotional. They can be
indecisive and agreeable and are usually happy to allow others to make
decisions for them.
Phlegmatic temperament people are slow to warm up to others but will make
friends fairly easily. They are one of the easiest temperament types to get along
with because they are so agreeable and patient. However, they stick closely to
their routines and resist change.
Characteristics of Non-formal
Education:
•It is planned but takes place apart from the academic

education provided by the school education system.
•It is highly flexible and adjustable.
•There is generally no age limit to gain this type of
education.
•It may or may not involve certificates or fees.
•It can be either part-time or full-time or as a profession.
•It includes both theoretical and practical education.
Melancholy
When most people hear the word

melancholy, they think of depression.
However, the melancholy temperament
type or disposition is not necessarily
depressed so much as they are cautious.
Those with melancholy temperaments
are detail and quality-oriented, obsessing
with understanding what is right. Also,
they might be seen as paying strict
attention to detail, which could make
them out as perfectionists. This is
another common temperament type.
Melancholy Characteristics
The melancholy temperament is a rule follower. They can be cautious and tentative
in unfamiliar environments, and show signs of behavioral inhibition, but they can
also become aggressive when faced with an unfavorable situation. They are private
and introverted. This temperament is factual, logical, and analytical. To function
without anxiety, these people need to have a solid action plan and follow it to the
letter.
Choleric
The choleric temperament is the rarest of

the four primary types. Those with a
choleric temperament are results-driven
by making goals and sticking with them
until they are completed. Thus, they
exhibit a positive demeanor or disposition
and are constantly moving forward.
Despite any opposition, they face
everything with the mindset of getting
results and achieving their desires. It is
more common for choleric to be a
secondary temperament, although this is
not as common as other combinations.
Choleric Characteristics
People with a choleric temperament are extroverted and exude self-confidence. They are independent
and strong-willed and do not show signs of having a low energy level. They have quick minds and are
generally active and practical in their activities, but can also be sensation seeking at times.. Their
communication style is assertive and direct, often brief, almost to the point of rudeness.
