Description of your temperament
Your temperament is
sanguine. The sanguine temperament is fundamentally spontaneous and pleasure-seeking; sanguine people are sociable and charismatic. They tend to enjoy social gatherings, making new friends and
tend to be boisterous. They are usually quite
creative and often
daydream. However, some
alone time is crucial for those of this temperament. Sanguine can also mean s
ensitive, compassionate and thoughtful. Sanguine personalities generally
struggle with following tasks all the way through, are chronically late, and
tend to be forgetful and sometimes a little
sarcastic. Often, when they pursue a new hobby, they lose interest as soon as it ceases to be engaging or fun.
They are very much people persons. They are talkative and not shy. Sanguines generally have an almost shameless nature, certain that what they are doing is right. They have no lack of confidence.
So, clearly I'm a hazelnut, as I have two outcomes with the same score.
I've retaken the test to get a description of the melancholic temperament, as no one has posted one before and I can't seem to find a description of it on the website itself.
Description of your temperament
Your temperament is
melancholic. The melancholic temperament is fundamentally introverted and
thoughtful. Melancholic people often were perceived as very (or overly)
pondering and considerate, getting rather worried when they could not be on time for events. Melancholics can be highly
creative in activities such as poetry and art - and can become
preoccupied with the tragedy and cruelty in the world. Often they are
perfectionists. They are
self-reliant and independent; one negative part of being a melancholic is that they can get so involved in what they are doing they forget to think of others.
I have underlined that which fits, and crossed through that which doesn't fit at all. Everything else is neutral.
