Sanguine phlegmatic - features of mixed temperament

Temperament is the totality of the character traits of each of us. We are all personalities with our positive and negative sides, which creates a character of which temperament is a part. It has a direct impact on the life of a person who cannot live without communication with their own kind. Temperament, in turn, dictates to one degree or another the behavior of a particular person, who for successful communication needs to take into account personal characteristics and the one with whom he is communicating at the moment.

This division was first made in the II century by the ancient Roman physician, surgeon and philosopher Claudius Galen, who made an enormous contribution to anatomy and psychology. Let's analyze each temperament and give a detailed description.

These people behave like a volcano. Choleric people can often be quick-tempered and irritable. It is quite difficult for them to control their emotions, since for any, even the smallest reason, they can explode. Usually they are very proactive and energetic people, with great zeal to perform any job, but only the one that suits them. Because routine and monotonous work quickly tires them, as a result of which they lose any interest in it and become unproductive. It is worth noting that choleric people tend not to complete their tasks.This can hinder them quite strongly in building a career in "office work", but they can show themselves well in creative professions - such as artists, musicians, etc.

This personality type is characterized by a balanced nervous system. Such people love to come into contact with others, they can easily adapt to new environmental conditions. Often in companies they are in the center of everyone's attention, they are called "the soul of the company." They are distinguished by expressive facial expressions and pantomime. Sanguine people, like choleric people, are emotional, but their feelings are not so deep and quickly pass.

Moreover, sanguine people are permanently in a good mood. Their distinguishing feature from choleric people is greater self-control and patience. They are very productive at work, but their greatest success can be achieved when they are carried away by the process itself. Since they are more impatient and inattentive, only the work they like deprives them of these shortcomings.

This type is the most balanced of all. Such a person is very difficult to anger or enrage, and if you succeed, then they quickly calm down and come to their senses. Phlegmatic people hardly react to psycho-emotional shocks, they do not know how to sincerely rejoice or empathize. They have low self-esteem and often underestimate their own achievements in the person of others. People with a phlegmatic temperament are just a godsend for an employer, since they are able to perform a large amount of work, process a huge amount of information in the shortest possible time. And even if they do not like what they are doing, they will prefer to quietly transfer it in themselves, without showing others their disappointment or resentment. Despite their amazing performance, it is difficult for them to find contacts with other people, while having the ability to get along with all other types of temperament.

These are exactly the people with whom it is difficult to find a common language, and in general to communicate. Melancholic, unlike phlegmatic, are very vulnerable. They are characterized by quiet speech, shyness, retardation of movements, hyperbolization. Also, perhaps the biggest drawback of melancholic people is their tendency to suicidal thoughts and actions. There are cases when melancholic people, unable to cope with difficulties, committed suicide. It is difficult for such people to climb the career ladder. Since any stress, be it a director's remark or the tension of a work process, can put a lot of pressure on a sensitive person and lead him to a nervous breakdown.

We have examined four main types of temperaments. Now it's time to talk about the fact that there are no so-called "pure" species. There are so-called mixed types. But now we will consider only one of them. A phlegmatic sanguine is probably one of the most common temperaments. Its main feature is the perfect balance of concentration and emotionality. Sanguo-phlegmatic traits are sociability, positivity. Such a person can overcome any difficulties without unnecessary effort. Often these people have many friends, but they are able to set priorities in cold blood and are not prone to absent-mindedness. Such people are loved by the bosses and appreciated in the team.

If we are talking about the union of a sanguine person and a phlegmatic person, then everything is ambiguous here. In such a tandem, there is little mutual understanding, but mutual assistance is at the highest level. Such a couple can work well in any field of activity. Since the eternal activity and fuse of the sanguine person is compensated by the concentration and hard work of the phlegmatic person.

They complement each other at the same time, achieving high results. Problems can arise outside of work hours due to the dissimilarity of interests, because sanguine people are often interested in active pastime.These can be different sports such as football, boxing or snowboarding. And phlegmatic people will prefer reading books, drawing, playing musical instruments to all kinds of extreme sports.

Yes, it affects our lives. The speed of our reaction, behavior in a given situation depends on it. Temperament dictates the behavior that we adhere to in life. It has a direct impact on all our decisions. This can both positively and negatively affect us. It is not uncommon for people to lose their jobs because of their hot-tempered nature, or, conversely, because of excessive vulnerability and isolation.

But this influence can be reduced and made insignificant. For example, if you are a very emotional choleric person, try to look at yourself from the outside, imagine how your frequent “explosions” can offend people, you can also try taking a course of sedatives. If you are melancholic and it interferes with your life, then more often try to go out, enjoy nature and the company of other people. Remember, success is entirely up to you!
