Don't forget about human temperament. "But what is it?" some people may ask. So, if character is more of a set of habits, then temperament implies a complex of human inclinations. Traditionally, there are 4 types of temperament: choleric, sanguine, melancholic, phlegmatic. Below we will dwell on each of the types of temperament in more detail, describe the main character traits (translation is given in English).
Choleric
Choleric by nature is very energetic (energetic), active (active), impulsive (impulsive), but at the same time explosive (explosive) and irritable (irritable). Choleric people are purposeful and ambitious (ambitious), they can fully devote themselves to their work, but only as long as it is really interesting to them. They are natural leaders and like to control everything that happens around them and the people who surround them. They are subject to mood swings, they can flare up instantly, but just as quickly come to a state of balance and peace. The most striking character trait of choleric people is their emotionality. Such people need to make a lot of effort in order to pull themselves together.
Sanguine
The nature of a sanguine person is positive, optimistic,cheerful (cheerful) and active (active). Sanguine, as a rule, creative (creative) personality. Such people can easily change from one type of activity to another. From this they are characterized by such a feature as inconstancy. Also, sanguine people are dreamy (dreamy), inquisitive (curious), friendly (friendly). They are often the soul of any company and easily make new acquaintances. The flip side of their sociability is such a trait as superficiality. They easily find an approach to people and to all sorts of problems, but often there is not enough depth in their actions and deeds.
Melancholic
Melancholic people are very calm (quiet) and reasonable (rational) people, but at the same time anxious (restless) and impressionable (sensitive). These are thin (acute) and easily vulnerable (thin skinned) personalities. They do not like crowds and prefer solitude. It is this type of personality that can be called an introvert. At the same time, these are harmonious (harmonious) personalities, with a highly developed inner world. However, melancholy people can often think that the world is against them, and succumb to the blues and depression. Although the melancholic does not look at the world with optimism, he knows how to delve into the very essence of the matter, sees the full depth of what is happening. Melancholic people are good analysts and psychologists.
Phlegmatic
This type of temperament is the most balanced (equable), stable (well balanced), calm(quiet) and patient (patient). Phlegmatic people are peace-loving (peaceful) and kind-hearted (good-hearted). They do not take anything to heart, they take everything for granted and know how to find a golden mean in everything they encounter. People belonging to this type are not subject to an excess of emotions, they approach everything with a cool head. All their decisions are considered and weighed. That is why phlegmatic people need much more time to make any decisions. They are noncommunicative (noncommunicative) and can converge with people for a long time. But with all this, they are faithful (faithful) and reliable (reliable) people.
