SC #1. A: A Temperament Test

My friend found this book in the school library that was entitled Personality Plus(don't quote me on that) and it said that knowing your personality/temperament will help you deal with things so much easier than if you don't know what your temperament is. And there are 4 types of temperaments: SANGUINE, MELANCHOLIC, PHLEGMATIC, and CHOLERIC. Of course, no person is perfectly in just one temperament so I had to take a test that went like this: there are 4 word in a row and you have to choose which word adequately describes you the most and you write it down(there were descriptions at the back to help in making the correct choice in picking the word). You go through 40 numbers and after you tally the choices you make because each of those 4 words correspond to a temperament. You have to get the two top temperaments that you get and that's what you are(temperament wise). The result of my test was phlegmatic-melancholic which is a natural blend. Phlegmatic people are usually casual, laid-back, mediator, silent workers, a bit lazy, avoids conflict, etc. Melancholic people are analytical, detail oriented, perfectionists, easily depressed, etc. I think it was pretty accurate and it was far from the other 2 temperaments. My top was phlegmatic then melancholic then sanguine and lastly, choleric. I already knew from the start that I was not going to be choleric because people with choleric temperament are defined as a leaders, people who want to get their way, like to push people, and spearhead things and I do not see myself like that at all.I also saw why I was not a sanguine person in the test because sanguine people are bubbly, spontaneous,and like to be the life of the party and being around people, and can't keep still on doing just one task. While I am trying to become more outgoing and bubbly, I know that it is something that I have to work on and psych myself to before I actually go and do it. I'm just naturally phlegmatic and melancholic. And I accept that and now I know where I excel and where I need to work on so that I can be more flexible as I get older and time calls for it.

P.S. That's for temperament. For personality type I think I'm INTP or ISTP. They're both pretty rare especially for women but that's just me.
