How do you view yourself and other Posters...

I've read a personality book sometime ago....and was thinking....Here I go again.....Here's my question....Though many people have many groupings of personalities, which group do you think You're in and what group do you think other posters here would be?....The most dominate personality...

Of course this is only a partial list off qualites in each character trait......

Choleric (The Dominant type)
Driven to get results, the choleric is aggressive and assertive in their approach to problems - people like Ross Perot, Margaret Thatcher, or Colin Powell, who are strategic in their thinking, have the end in mind when approaching a problem or negotiation. If you have ever met a Choleric who has learned to be patient with people while impatient for results, you have met a winner.

Sanguine (The Influencer type)
talkative, memory for color, good on stage, wide-eyed and innocent, enthuasiastic and expressive, curious, volunteers for jobs, always a child, creative and colorful, inspires and charms others, makes friends easily, seems exciting. Driven by the need to influence people, these expressive social-types are enthusiastic, approachable and at times impulsive. The sanguine is persuasive, friendly and effervescent. As most salespeople fall within this category, is it any wonder salespeople typically detest paperwork? Once in control of the details, watch out!

Phlegmatic (The Steady type)
Driven by the need to accommodate and get along, the phlegmatic enjoys harmony. If they have achieved the opportunity to accommodate and serve, they are happy people. Their strength is stability, and their weakness can be inflexibility and a resistance to change, and they can have a hard time saying "no". Show me a phlegmatic that has gone through assertiveness training and has incorporated this into their daily lives, and you will find a winner.

Melancholy (The Conscientious type)
Driven by the need to maintain standards, the melancholy often is cautious and tentative when responding to a problem. Many accountants fall into this category. They view things in regard to what is right or wrong. Strengths include organization and accuracy.
deep, thoughtful, analytical, serious and purposeful, genius-intellect, talented and creative, likes lists/charts/graphs/figures, detail conscious, orderly and organized , neat and tidy, perfectionist-high standards, economical, deep concern and compassion, seeks ideal mate

Or do you think this is inaccurate.....

I am the Choleric type. I will have to give it some thought when it comes to others.

Not only do I think I'm a melonchaly, but personality tests have given results as such..

There is a test that is in the book, which is too long to type out, but found it very accurate....

Does the book have a web site?

I don't think that most people will fall cleanly into one of those categories.

Just looking through it I think that I'd really be a mix of all of them.

Personally I find it rahther good categories (well if you make them overlap), especially considering te time they where made....

I don't know about anyone else, but I always trying to keep the peace on this site. Looking at every topic in a level-minded and rational way...agreeing with both sides.

That's because these are the four 'humours', which is a medical theory that has been outdated for about 150 years.

And that would explain why it was unfamiliar to me.

You seem skeptical.

Anyway, who has heard about this new 'trepanning'?
