There are four varieties of temperaments: phlegmatic, sanguine, melancholic and choleric. Each of them has certain qualities and distinctive features. In real life, the classic "pure" temperaments are almost never found. Each person most often has the qualities of all four temperaments. Just some features are dominant. For example, the character of the sanguine-choleric type is dominated by the qualities of these two temperaments.
Sanguine people very quickly converge with other people, are cheerful, can 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 the new environment and are actively in contact with other people. The speech of the representatives of this temperament is emotional, fast, with expressive facial expressions, clear and loud. Sanguine and choleric in this are a little similar. Representatives of sanguine temperament can not stand the monotony. If stimuli and events quickly succeed each other, new impressions are constantly present, they manifest themselves from the active side. If the effects are uniform and long, then the sanguine quickly loses interest in them and begins to get bored. Sanguine choleric may be slightly irritable.
Choleric are very mobile, fast, excitable and unbalanced. Their mental activity is intense and stormy. Excitation in this case prevails over inhibition, which is characteristic of this type of nervous activity. This is colorfully manifested in the impulsiveness, restraint, temper and irritability of a person. In a mixed temperament sanguine-choleric, these qualities are softened, which makes his representative more calm and balanced.
People with a choleric nature have sharp gestures, unrestrained hasty speech, jerky movements and expressive facial expressions. The power of feelings in such individuals is very high, and their manifestation is vibrant and bright. A person with this character is subject to sudden changes in mood. The imbalance greatly affects his daily activities.
Choleric is fond of something, enthusiastically takes up the matter, overcomes difficulties, works on the rise, while demonstrating his impetuosity and speed of movement. However, when his nervous energy is depleted, an avalanche-like decline in activity sets in. The mood changes dramatically, and the representative of this temperament begins to behave irritably and aggressively, while exhibiting extreme emotional restraint. On this basis, very often conflict situations 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 a character's choleric warehouse can be compensated by qualities that have other types of temperament in the arsenal . "Pure" choleric and sanguine, as well as representatives of other character stores, practically do not occur. In the features of the average person are reflected all types of temperature.
