Melancholic introverts: features, character description and suitable professions

Many scientific works and studies are devoted to the problem of human temperament. But, despite this, this question remains popular today. Information about a person's temperament can be gleaned not only in scientific literature, but also in glossy magazines, where a psychological column is in great demand.

If we approach the definition of temperament in a non-professional language, then temperament can be considered some specific features of the character of each individual person. Today there are four types of temperament and the so-called mixed type.

Let's pay special attention to people who have a predominantly melancholic type of temperament.

Among the famous people who possessed this type of temperament were: Newton, Chopin, Gogol, Tchaikovsky, etc.

Melancholic people are prone to worries, sadness, deep thoughts, depression, often fall into despair, are quite pessimistic. Most often, such people have such traits as isolation, secrecy, and reticence. But they are also tolerant, meticulous, diligent and organized.

In addition to temperament, it is also important to know the psychotype of the personality as a distinctive character trait. Let's consider only the introverted psychotype. An introvert is a type of personality that is characterized by isolation, concentration, isolation from the outside world. And if we are talking about melancholic introverts, then such people have the weakest type of nervous system, increased anxiety. They are closed in themselves, tend to live in their inner world.

If we consider the melancholic introvert, from the point of view of the gender aspect, then this type of temperament in both men and women has its own advantages and disadvantages.

When choosing a profession, as well as in employment, it is necessary to know and take into account the peculiarities of temperament in order to make the right choice.

In their work, melancholic introverts are very slow, tend to underestimate their abilities, passive, do not show initiative. Therefore, it would be foolish for such people to get a job in leadership positions, work that requires speed, constant communication with people. Such people are suitable for creative professions, where they reach heights thanks to perfectionism. Such people love monotonous, meticulous work, especially one that requires analysis.

People with this type of temperament do not tolerate emancipation, emotionality in work, and also do not tolerate work in large groups.

In work, the melancholic introvert has such characteristics as:

• constancy, in which he does not need any changes or striving for career growth;
• responsibility - always finishes the work started, does not take on what he cannot do;
• diligence - if the melancholic is not rushed, not "to stand above the soul", then he will do the entire volume of work;
• pursuit of solitude - does better work individually than collectively.

Consider a profession in which the melancholic, introverted type of people will be comfortable working, where they can realize themselves. These professions include the following.

• Programmer. Such work does not require cohesion and interaction with the team. It is enough just to do the work with concentration while sitting at the computer. The ability to work remotely.
