Temperamental person: who is it and how to define it?

Very often you can hear something that someone is called a temperamental person. But what exactly this term means, and what character that temperamental person possesses, few know. It is said that a person's temperament can change throughout life, and this depends on numerous factors. What is the peculiarity of a temperamental person, let's talk about this in our material.

How often do we hear that people say about someone that it is a temperamental man or a temperamental woman. Consider what this word means, and whether it has its own special definition.

In general, each person has their own special temperament. In such a science as psychology, it is said that each person has a temperament, as well as an individual character. But in society such a concept as "temperamental person" has taken root, which is more often referred to as a hot-tempered, bright, decisive and overly emotional person. It turns out that now the word "temperamental" has lost its original meaning and is used only to describe one type of character.

Scientifically speaking, it is worth mentioning that temperament is not just a separate character trait. This is a combination of several character traits that ultimately affect human behavior.

In psychology, there are several main types of temperament:

• the owners of a cheerful disposition are called sanguine;
• calmer people are phlegmatic;
• overly vulnerable and touchy are melancholic;
• but too emotional people are choleric.

Of course, it is worth mentioning once again that the popular concept of "temperamental", which is firmly entrenched in society, is only a certain characteristic of one of the types of people, which cannot be in any way connected with the broader meaning of the word "temperament".

In order to understand a person, to understand his character, it is worth paying attention to some of the features in his behavior. Recognizing a temperamental person is not so difficult. Many factors give out the special character traits of such a person: his behavior in society, his manner of communication, and so on. For example, if in a company you see a modest and quiet person, then it immediately becomes clear that this is an unemotional, unsociable and a little insecure person. Of course, such a person can hardly be called temperamental. Let's think about how to recognize a truly temperamental person.

In society, such people behave in a relaxed and liberated manner. They are very active, love to communicate, make new acquaintances and never hesitate to have a conversation with unfamiliar people. But also such people are betrayed by excessive emotionality. That is, during a conversation, during a discussion of any issue, a temperamental person will behave very emotionally, wave his arms and speak very loudly.

Impulsivity is another feature that makes it possible to recognize a temperamental person in a stranger. And also a temperamental person is inherent in such traits as gambling and riskiness. Very often such people enter into disputes, make bets and at the same time are always confident in advance of their victory. For the most part, such people are not afraid of risks, they are not afraid to take on any new business.

Temperamental people are almost always confident in their own strengths and in themselves. Perhaps that is why they are used to acting decisively and actively. Often, their business starts end in victory, and this gives them even more self-confidence. In addition, they react very quickly to any situation and quickly find a way out of any problem.

Another feature of such people is that they are very passionate natures. This attracts representatives of the opposite sex to them.

Perhaps someone is offended by the fact that he is considered a temperamental person. But it’s not so bad. After all, any character has its pros and cons. Let's start with the benefits.

Temperamental people tend to be very active. Thanks to this quality, they always try to help all their relatives and friends. If someone of your acquaintances has a trouble, then such a person will definitely not pass by and will do everything possible to help. In addition, such people will never give themselves offense. They know their rights very well, they know how to behave in society, how to stand up for themselves.

Another advantage of this category of people is that they react very quickly to any situation. Such lightning speed and the ability to make quick, sometimes very spontaneous and unexpected decisions, helps temperamental people to cope with any situation. Such a person will never feel confused, his brain is always actively working, helping to find a way out even where it seems to be not there.

It's never boring with such people. Of course, this is another plus for temperamental people. It is always pleasant to communicate with such people, it is never boring with them. They are always full of ideas, which allows them to be relaxed in any society and allows them to make new useful acquaintances.

In addition, temperament helps them achieve the success they always strive for. Only active, self-confident people with many creative ideas can loudly declare themselves and, as a result, become valuable employees in any field. Often, such people make dizzying careers and take leadership positions.

Among the many advantages of this nature, it is worth noting the fact that they very easily manage to build personal relationships. Representatives of the opposite sex are always themselves drawn to such temperamental personalities, thanks to which they are not alone, and do not spend years looking for their soul mate.

Like any person, temperamental people have their drawbacks. Due to their excessive impulsiveness and emotionality, such people are mostly unrestrained. Of course, this can negatively affect personal relationships and relationships with colleagues. Such people do not know how to control their emotions and feelings, it is very difficult for them to control themselves. It is not easy for a temperamental person to restrain himself so as not to create a conflict situation. Such people often come into conflict and almost never admit their guilt. This is undoubtedly a serious flaw in their special nature.

Moreover, such people do not always think before speaking. Therefore, sometimes they are tactless, which very much offend loved ones. For this reason, few get along with such people, since sometimes it is very difficult to understand them and endure excessive emotionality.

Another advantage that can easily turn into a disadvantage is excessive persistence and assertiveness. They are accustomed to go ahead and act actively, but sometimes you need to correctly distribute your forces, be able to wait for the right moment, and only then act. If a temperamental person learns to control his feelings and emotions, then his shortcomings can easily turn into advantages.
