Four Temperaments is a psychological theory. In ancient times people believed that bodily fluids affect human personality and behaviors. The temperaments are sanguine, choleric, melancholic, and phlegmatic.

Sanguine personalities are usually late. They may lose interest in their new hobby when it is no more fun or exciting. They are talkative and not shy.

The research was made by the school psychologist. The table shows the percent composition of different temperaments in 3 forms.

There exists a more general classification of temperaments – introverts and extroverts.

Most people believe that an extrovert is a person who is friendly and outgoing. This is not the true meaning of extroversion.

Extrovert – energized by being around other people. Introvert – energized by being alone.

Extroverts feel bored when they are alone. An extrovert will use any chance to talk with someone else rather than sit alone and think. Extroverts tend to think as they speak, unlike introverts who think before they speak.

Introverts’ conversations are generally about ideas and concepts. Introverts make up about 60% of the gifted population but only about 25-40% of the general population.

Introverts: inner world of the mind, thinking, exploring thoughts and feelings.
