So, do you think it is possible to be both saguine and melancholic dominately?
They seem so opposite !
And yet, I always run into the problem ( if it’s even a problem…) of scoring the exact same or always very close between those two!
They both seem to fit me.
When I took this test it gave me sanguine (until I took it again of course)
I can’t seem to get anything other than these two while still answering honestly!
What do you think?
Am I really oil and water, or is such a thing possible?
I did not match me at alll i am very shy timid and even dont get angry easily very rarely i get angry and even iam peoples person dont like to be alone absolutely oppsite personality is being described i was shocked…..anyways the other test i found were very good and they described me well bt iam not a choleric plzz
I have both melancholic personality and phlegmatic personality types so I struggle between pushing people away and being lonely and because I struggle with PTSD from a narcissistic marriage which lead me down the path of addiction to pain medications for 12 years and I was constantly acting out with a lot of angry outbursts until 5 years ago I had a spiritual interventional experience which turned my life around and I was given the gift of releasing my addiction and put me on the path of healing my heart and soul, I isolated myself for the past 5 years and taking the damaged parts of me and processing everything I stuffed deep inside, I am still working on myself but I actually enjoy life and I look at everything with new eyes and it’s a beautiful world! My healing process has been accelerating recently except all of a sudden I have been really feeling lonely and that’s definitely a new experience
The melancholic personality type fits me perfectly except I don’t hold grudges, I’m actually too forgiving sometimes which people can take advantage of, otherwise I’m a perfect fit
I’m actually very impressed. I’m a phlegmatic. Didn’t know that existed or what it was but it explained who I am to the T and now I have a better understanding of why I make the choices I make and who I am.
I don’t regret any of these so it is bogus: Which scenario sounds the worst to you?
A
You’re at the end of your life. You regret it being boring and lonely.
B
You’re at the end of your life. You regret being a sheep in the crowd, rather than a leader.
C
You’re at the end of your life. You regret it always being stressful and unstable.
D
You’re at the end of your life. You regret it being meaningless and unfulfilling.
7 / 10
As are some of the other tests. Should find more fitting/relative questions for a few of the tests.
I just want to see the results
I thought I would have gotten sanguine. I got choleric which I can agree on although I can be Introvereted( although I think that might be an excuse for shyness becaue I find myself longing to connect with people I find Interesting or seem Interesting through my eyes, but often don’t)first then melancholic which I don’t like but Is actually true about me…..
I am choleric, by what the test says. I have been told that I am black and white. I would agree with that. I do not compromise myself or beliefs. I listen to others input, but I follow my instincts. I have always been a leader not a boss of people.
Hmmm this test showed I’m sanguine. Maybe I don’t know myself as well as I thought, which probably wouldn’t be a stretch. :-} I’m off to take the social chameleon test…
Sounds like something a Sanguine would say :)
I love the spiritual principles that are shared.
